The semiconductor industry continues to face numerous challenges as designs approach reticle limits, process nodes evolve and engineering resources become increasingly stretched. It is essential to ...
The use of redundant logic may increase product reliability. Two of the most costly functions that engineering teams developing electronic products perform are verification and test. On the surface, ...
The testing and verification of semiconductor chips was a prominent topic at this year’s European Test Systems (ETS) conference, especially in the area of Design-for-Test (DFT) tools and techniques.
Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...
Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...
It is often said that the emergence of the System-on-Chip will require fundamental changes in the approaches to design for testability (DFT.) These changes, it has been suggested, will take the form ...
Bus-based scan data distribution architecture enables true bottom-up DFT flows, writes Geir Eide of Siemens Digital Industries Software. The dramatic rise in manufacturing test time for today’s large ...
