Design for Test (DFT) managers often must make difficult and sometimes costly trade-offs between test implementation effort and manufacturing test cost. The traditional method for evaluating these ...

Until very recently, semiconductor design, verification, and test were separate domains. Those domains have since begun to merge, driven by rising demand for reliability, shorter market windows, and ...

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 ...

At $399,000, the 93000 SoC (system-on-a-chip) DFT (design for test) series promises users a one-cent-per-second cost of test. As such, this version of the Agilent Technologies 93000 SoC platform would ...
