Delay-inducing defects are causing increasing concern in the semiconductor industry today, particularly at the leading-edge 130- and 90- nanometer nodes. To effectively test for such defects, the ...
Scan diagnostics play an important role in improving yield. As technologies move below 130 nm, the IC industry has seen a significant change in the type of defects encountered. Feature-related defects ...
Despite its standardization as IEEE 1149.1 in 1990 and wide use in the industry, many test engineers and developers still do not fully understand the benefits of boundary scan test. The misconceptions ...
As chips become more heterogeneous with more integrated functionality, testing them presents increasing challenges — particularly for high-speed system-on-chip (SoC) designs with limited test pin ...
The electronics industry is in the midst of a transformation that is drastically changing product design and manufacture. Deep submicron process technology puts more gates on a chip, and the ...
