Moore’s law has been the standard reference for semiconductor scaling. It roughly says that semiconductor design sizes, fueled by technology improvements, double every two years. Consequentially, the ...

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, ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

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 ...

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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SynTest Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier of Design-for-Test (DFT) tools, has announced its foray into support for Automotive IC designs. Suppliers of ...
