Delay-inducing defects are causing increasing concern in the semiconductor industry today, particularly at the leading-edge 130- and 90- nanometer nodes. To effectively test for such defects, the ...
As chips become more heterogeneous with more integrated functionality, testing them presents increasing challenges — particularly for high-speed system-on-chip (SoC) designs with limited test pin ...
The electronics industry is in the midst of a transformation that is drastically changing product design and manufacture. Deep submicron process technology puts more gates on a chip, and the ...
For decades, process and design scaling has triggered the adoption of transformative test solutions. About twenty years ago, when at-speed test became a de-facto requirement, on-chip compression ...
When a global provider of air traffic, navigation, and landing system solutions began implementing its next-generation system, limitations of an existing test and debug methodology directly impacted ...
ATPG targets faults at IC-gate boundaries, but 50% of defects are located within cells. Learn how cell-aware ATPG and user-defined fault models help to ferret out these hard-to-squash bugs.
