For more than four decades, scan technology has somehow eluded the radar screen of the IC test industry. As test continues to evolve and make significant newsworthy changes, scan has maintained a ...

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 ...

For some time, engineers have followed the IEEE 1149.1 standard, also known as “boundary-scan,” to create test structures on pc boards and in complete systems. Unfortunately, once products leave a ...

When we think about a cardiac arrest, we usually imagine dramatic scenes - chest pain, ambulances, and emergency surgeries. However, the truth is, for most people, heart disease is quietly brewing ...

Some new design-for-test (DFT) technologies are difficult, expensive, or risky to implement but offer significant benefits. Other technologies are easy to implement but offer minor improvements. The ...

Provide practical KPIs to monitor, including FA hit rate (percent of FAs that find root cause) and time to address yield ...
