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 meet ...
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 ...
Logic built-in self-test (LBIST), is a mechanism that lets an (IC) test the integrity of its own digital logic structures. LBIST operates by stimulating the logic-based operations of the IC and then ...
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 ...
SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to ...
With logic gate counts on microprocessors soaring, chipmakers now face a vexing problem -- how to test a billion-gate chip in a reasonable amount of time. The challenge of testing the so-called ...
Until very recently, semiconductor design, verification, and test were separate domains. Those domains have since begun to merge, driven by rising demand for reliability, shorter market windows, and ...
