BALTIMORE — Design-for-test (DFT) is no longer just a subject for debate and International Test Conference (ITC) papers as the automated test equipment (ATE) industry begins to respond with more than ...
As chipmakers move towards finer geometries, IC designs are obviously becoming more complex and expensive. Given the enormous risks involved, chipmakers must ensure the quality of the parts before ...
As semiconductor applications in automotive, data center, and high-performance computing grow increasingly mission-critical, the industry faces mounting pressure to achieve near-perfect manufacturing ...
PLEASANTON, Calif.–In another move to lower the cost of IC test, Inovys Corp. here officially announced a desktop version of its IC tester line for use in design-for-test (DFT) chip applications.
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 ...
Many IC designers finally have embraced design for testability (DFT) in the form of scan insertion for digital circuit designs because of the significant time-to-production advantages these techniques ...
Siemens Digital Industries Software today introduced Tessent™ AnalogTest software - an innovative solution that reduces pattern generation time for analog circuit tests from months to days. The ...
