Scan testing has been the foundation of digital-device production test for many years. Several innovations have been developed to keep up with the growth in pattern-set sizes brought about by large ...
There is a rapidly growing interest in the use of structural techniques for testing random logic. In particular, much has been published on new techniques for on-chip compression of automatic test ...
Moore’s law has been the standard reference for semiconductor scaling. It roughly says that semiconductor design sizes, fueled by technology improvements, double every two years. Consequentially, the ...
New semiconductor technologies like FinFETs are giving rise to new types of fault effects not covered by standard stuck-at and at-speed tests. Automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tools perform ...
Recent and continuing trends in the semiconductor industry pose challenges to IC test-data volumes, test application times, and test costs. The industry has thus far succeeded in containing test costs ...
Two test strategies are used to test virtually all IC logic—automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) with test pattern compression, and logic built-in self-test (BIST). For many years, there was a ...
Patterns created using advanced fault models provide higher test coverage, improved defect detection, and higher-yielding ...
BANGALORE, INDIA: Magma Design Automation Inc., a provider of chip design software, and LogicVision Inc., a provider of semiconductor built-in-self-test (BIST) and diagnostic solutions, announced that ...
