A “cage match” pitting a DFT (design-for-test) team against a DFM (design-for-manufacturing) team was a highlight of IPC APEX Expo 2011. Paul Windsor of Acculogic, Brian D’Amico of MIRTEC, and David ...
Semiconductor companies are racing to develop AI-specific chips to meet the rapidly growing compute requirements for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. AI chips from companies like Graphcore and ...
For device manufacturers, emerging semiconductor capabilities offer a dramatic increase in device complexity and density allowing the development of highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SOC) products, ...
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 ...
Near the beginning of every chip design project, the design team will have a debate about the trade-off between cost and quality. One of the most vexed questions tends to be about the value of ...
Acquisition integrates advanced "shift-left" Design for Test (DFT) functionality into Siemens' Xpedition and Valor portfolios ...
