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 ...

Automatic test-pattern generation (ATPG) has played a key role in semiconductor logic test, but several trends driving the need for semiconductor test quality are challenging traditional ATPG tools.

There is a rapidly growing interest in the use of structural techniques for testing random logic. In particular, much has been published on new techniques for on-chip compression of automatic test ...

Recent and continuing trends in the semiconductor industry pose challenges to IC test-data volumes, test application times, and test costs. The industry has thus far succeeded in containing test costs ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...
