Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...

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 ...

In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...

Multi-die assemblies greatly increase the number of things that can go wrong, and the difficulty of finding them.

Start-up Teseda has developed a validation tester that solves some of the traditional problems of DFT (design for test) by providing lower cost validation of digital-IC designs than do functional-test ...

Finding the sweet spot between design for test (DFT), built-in self-test (BIST) and low-cost automated test equipment (ATE) seems to be the central focus of the International Test Conference (ITC) ...

Siemens has acquired Aster Technologies, a privately held company in the printed circuit board market. Aster produces test verification and engineering software. This strategic move integrates Aster’s ...

Meridian DFT (Design For Test) from Real Intent delivers multimode design-for-test (DFT) static sign-off to ensure maximum scan coverage and silicon s ...

Vijay Sontakke, who works at Intel Corporation as a design engineer, has emerged as a key contributor to the field of semiconductor testing. He has 24 years of experience in semiconductor testing. His ...
