Power gating is implemented through power switches for controlling the supply voltage applied to the various memory blocks (array, decoders, I/O logic, etc.). This way, one or more memory blocks can be disconnected from the power supply during a long period of inactivity, thus reducing static power consumption. This paper focuses on low-power SRAMs, and in particular, the power gating mechanisms of core-cells and peripheral circuitry. We provide a detailed analysis based on electrical simulations to characterize the impact of resistive-open defects on the power mode control logic. Based on this analysis, we introduce appropriate fault models that represent the observed faulty behaviors. Finally, we propose an efficient test solution targeting the set of identified fault models.","PeriodicalId":353290,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133123490","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 idea is to build different regression models for each specification during the training phase, and then to verify prediction consistency between the different models during the production testing phase. In case of divergent predictions, the devices are removed from the alternate test tier and directed to a second tier where further testing may apply. The approach is illustrated on a real case study that employs production test data from an RF power amplifier. Results show that, on the contrary to the classical implementation where prediction accuracy degrades when reducing the training set size, the proposed approach permits to preserve prediction accuracy independently of the training set size, while only a very small number of devices are directed to the second tier of the test flow.","PeriodicalId":353290,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129068446","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}

This manufacturing process also generates an immense amount of data, from raw silicon to final packaged product. The centralized collection of this data in industry information warehouses presents a promising and heretofore untapped opportunity for integrated analysis. With a machine learning-based methodology, latent correlations in the joint process-test space could be identified, enabling dramatic cost reductions throughout the manufacturing process. To realize such a solution, this work addresses three distinct problems within semiconductor manufacturing: (1) Reduce test cost for analog and RF devices, as testing can account for up to 50% of the overall production cost of an IC; (2) Develop algorithms for post-production performance calibration, enabling higher yields and optimal power-performance; and, (3) Develop algorithms for spatial modeling of sparsely sampled wafer test parameters. Herein these problems are addressed via the introduction of a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, designed to support the application of machine learning methods to problems in semiconductor manufacturing. Results are demonstrated on a variety of semiconductor manufacturing data from TI and IBM.","PeriodicalId":353290,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125445920","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 generality of this method makes it applicable for any modular design. Our analysis shows that the run time of our algorithm is related to the number of gates and the number of IOs in a module, while fault simulation run time is related to the total number of gates in the system. We have measured fault coverage for OR1200 and IVM processors and compared the results with fault simulation performed by a commercial tool. We have also compared our results with fault sampling. Our results show that for large designs FALCON is an order of magnitude faster compared with fault simulation.

First, switching activity around each long path sensitized by a test vector is checked to characterize it as hot (with excessively-high switching activity), warm (with normal/functional switching activity), or cold (with excessively-low switching activity). Then, X-restoration/X-filling-based rescue is conducted on the test vector to reduce switching activity around hot paths. If the rescue is insufficient to turn a hot path into a warm path, mask is then conducted on expected test response data to instruct the tester to ignore the potentially-false test response value from the hot path, thus achieving guaranteed capture power safety. Finally, X-restoration/X-filling-based warm-up is conducted on the test vector to increase switching activity around cold paths for improving their small-delay test capability. This novel approach of pinpoint capture power management has significant advantages over the conventionalapproachofglobalcapturepower management, as demonstrated by evaluation results on large ITC'99 benchmark circuits and detailed path delay analysis.","PeriodicalId":353290,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Test Conference","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132207644","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}
