Each new manufacturing process generation brings with it a whole new set of challenges. In an era of multimillion-gate complexity and increasing density of nanometer manufacturing defects, a key ...

Test compression offers the benefits of higher quality and lower test cost, but how do you choose the best methodology and tools for your current and future designs? Test compression evaluations ...

Testing can represent as much as half the cost of semiconductor device manufacture. To reduce that, Mentor Graphics' TestKompress uses a new compression technology that lets designers cut the amount ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...

Left-shifting DFT, scalable tests from manufacturing to the field, enabling system-level tests for in-field debug.

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a milk crate using Instron universal testing machine. Compression testing was performed to measure the strength of the milk crate. Instron ...
