In this paper we consider masking of unknowns (X-values) for VLSI circuits. We present a new hierarchical method of X-masking which is a major improvement of the method proposed in [4], called WIDE1. By the method proposed, the number of observable scan cells is optimized and data volume for X-masking can be significantly reduced in comparison to WIDEL This is demonstrated for three industrial designs. In cases where all X-values have to be masked the novel approach is especially efficient.
