This post addresses the specific hurdle of effective and efficient manufacturing tests for these complex devices. It outlines ...

The traditional approach to moving scan test data from chip-level pins to core-level scan channels is under pressure due to the dramatic rise in design size, design complexity, and test adaptation. To ...

Yield improvement at sub 100-nm technologies relies on the latest scan test techniques. As IC feature sizes shrink below 90 nm, in-line inspection techniques to determine yield-limiting problems ...

Scan technology was developed as a structured test technique that divided the complex sequential nature of a design into small combinational logic blocks that could be tested individually. This added ...
