As design size and complexity increase, so too does the cost of test. Both the design community and the test industry are looking at various approaches to lower the cost of manufacturing test. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

Design for test (DFT) has been around since the 1960s. The technology was developed to reduce the cost of creating a successful test for an IC. Scan design, fault models, and automatic test pattern ...

The testing and verification of semiconductor chips was a prominent topic at this year’s European Test Systems (ETS) conference, especially in the area of Design-for-Test (DFT) tools and techniques.

Design-for-test (DFT) software maker Teseda (Portland, Oregon) and test-and-measurement house Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, Calif.) announce a link that both companies claim will ensure, for the ...

At this year’s International Test Conference (October 10-15, 2021), Siemens Digital Industries Software is showcasing IC test and lifecycle management technologies that address the key scaling ...

I’ve had a fairly varied early part of my career in the semiconductors business: a series of events caused me to jump disciplines a little bit, and after one such event, I landed in the test ...
