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 ...

When semiconductor devices had geometries of 0.18 microns and larger, most defects manifested themselves as static faults. Test strategies based on stuck-at fault-model scan patterns and standard ...

As boring as propeller designs may seem to the average person, occasionally there’s a bit of a dust-up in the media about a ‘new’ design that promises at least a few percent improvement in performance ...

Memory test at-speed isn�t easy but can be achieved by balancing test selection, area overhead, and test-time constraints. The semiconductor industry has intensified its focus on yield issues to ...

Automotive integrated circuits (ICs) are the critical drivers behind modern vehicle automation, safety, and efficiency. As electronic systems in automobiles become increasingly complex, robust testing ...
