When silicon chips are fabricated, defects in materials (e. g., silicon) and manufacturing errors can result in defective circuits. a very common defect is for one signal wire to get "broken" and always register a logical 0. this is often called a "stuck-at-0" fault?

"Stuck-at-0 fault" is a term used to describe what fault simulators use as a fault model to simulate a manufacturing defect. When "stuck-at-fault-0" occurs, one of the wires is broken, and will always register at logical 0
