The important class of dynamic faults, therefore, cannot be ignored any more. It is shown that conventional memory tests constructed to detect static faulty behavior of a specific defect do not necessarily detect the dynamic faulty behavior. Indeed, dynamic faulty behavior can take place in the absence of static faults. The paper presents new memory tests derived to target the dynamic fault class.","PeriodicalId":237007,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 20th IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS 2002)","volume":"585 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132843575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The typical test vector loading techniques result infrequent transitions in the scan chain, which in turn reflect into significant levels of circuit switching unnecessarily. Judicious utilization of logic in the scan chain can help reduce transitions while loading the test vector needed. No performance degradation ensues as scan chain modifications have no impact on functional execution. A computationally efficient scheme is proposed to identify, the location and type of the logic to be inserted. The experimental results confirm the significant reductions in test power possible under the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":237007,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 20th IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS 2002)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133225127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an ATE setup, characterizing the stray capacitance using external instruments is difficult for practical reasons. In this paper, we present a single probe technique that uses available tester resources to measure stray capacitance of test hardware with high accuracy and precision. The proposed method uses a time measurement sub-system and a current source of the ATE for measuring stray capacitance from their charging and discharging characteristics. This capacitance measurement technique is also used to detect and diagnose faults in different tester hardware components. Measurement results and case studies on the application of this technique are presented.","PeriodicalId":237007,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 20th IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS 2002)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128024893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-line inspection, parameter evaluation using special tests structures and memory arrays are typically used to debug and diagnose a new process or product.

Logic structures have a different and irregular topology, which may lead to different defect sensitivities. Indeed, some of the (spot) defects may not occur in the test structures or memories and may then only be detected at the product’s final wafer test. Retest, precise electrical fault diagnosis methods and advanced (physical) failure analysis procedures are then needed to localize and characterize these types of failures.","PeriodicalId":237007,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 20th IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS 2002)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117265996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wrapper/TAM co-optimization is therefore necessary for minimizing SOC testing time. We recently proposed an exact technique for co-optimization based on a combination of integer linear programming (ILP) and exhaustive enumeration. However, this approach is computationally expensive for large SOCs, and it is limited to fixed-width test buses. We present a new approach for wrapper/TAM co-optimization based on generalized rectangle packing, also referred to as two-dimensional packing. This approach allows us to decrease testing time by reducing the mismatch between a core's test data needs and the width of the TAM to which it is assigned. We apply our co-optimization technique to an academic benchmark SOC and three industrial SOCs. Compared to the ILP-based technique, we obtain lower or comparable testing times for two out of the three industrial SOCs. Moreover, we obtain more than two orders of magnitude decrease in the CPU time needed for wrapper/TAM co-design.","PeriodicalId":237007,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 20th IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS 2002)","volume":"547 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114353402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
