The number and variety of test interfaces, coupled with increased packaging complexity, are adding a slew of new challenges.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Integrated circuit complexity and integration continuously advances, posing challenges to the development process. Market profitability, however, demands that products be designed and produced as fast ...

BALTIMORE — The marriage of design-for-test (DFT) software with test hardware may drastically lower the cost of test, according to several companies that will present their plans at this week's ...
