Structural test is the foundation of the majority of IC production testing. The idea of structural test is that the entire chip operation doesn’t need to be known. Instead, the structural pieces and ...

Scan testing has been the foundation of digital-device production test for many years. Several innovations have been developed to keep up with the growth in pattern-set sizes brought about by large ...

Design-for-test (DFT) is essential to ensure that complex designs can be thoroughly tested. Testing demands continue to increase as designs grow in gate count and fabrication process technologies ...

IC designers now have a powerful weapon in the struggle against rising test costs: commercially available EDA solutions that provide fast and effective means to implement scan compression on-chip. By ...

Design for Test (DFT) managers often must make difficult and sometimes costly trade-offs between test implementation effort and manufacturing test cost. The traditional method for evaluating these ...
