集成电路测试的目的是希望在一批器件中找出有缺陷的器件，从而将交付的DPPM(每百万器件中的缺陷器件数目)降低至100以下。通过对自动测试图样生成(ATPG)算法进行一些设计修改，就可能在合理的测试图样数目下达到较高的缺陷覆盖率。本文描述了在评估不同 ...

VLSI or Very Large Scale Integration has emerged as a crucial field in electronics engineering over the past few years. With the manufacture of complex integrated circuits (ICs) with millions of ...

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.

ATPG targets faults at IC-gate boundaries, but 50% of defects are located within cells. Learn how cell-aware ATPG and user-defined fault models help to ferret out these hard-to-squash bugs.
