Hardware fault injection is the widely accepted approach to evaluate the behavior
of a circuit in the presence of faults. Thus, it plays a key role in the design of robust
circuits. This chapter presents a comprehensive review of hardware fault injection
techniques, including physical and logical approaches. The implementation of
effective fault injection systems is also analyzed. Particular emphasis is made
on the recently developed emulation-based techniques, which can provide large
flexibility along with unprecedented levels of performance. These capabilities
provide a way to tackle reliability evaluation of complex circuits.Publicad
