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 ...

In recent years, boundary scan has transformed itself. JTAG started more than a decade ago as a simple structural interconnect test technology. It now is a foundational embedded infrastructure capable ...

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 ...

Some new design-for-test (DFT) technologies are difficult, expensive, or risky to implement but offer significant benefits. Other technologies are easy to implement but offer minor improvements. The ...

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.

Test cost is becoming a major issue in chip design. That should surprise no reader of ISD. What might be surprising is the severity of the problem. Not only are test costs threatening to become the ...

Test engineering is critical to ensure functionality, reliability, and performance of semiconductor devices. As technology ...
