Hence, a pipelined circuit suffers yield loss with respect to violation of target delay constraint unless an overly pessimistic worst-case design approach is followed. We propose a statistical approach for pipeline design to enhance yield with respect to a target delay under an area budget. Right choice of the number of pipeline stages to enhance yield under an area constraint is addressed using simple statistical yield models. Next, individual stages are designed for maximizing yield under area constraint for the stages. Once the independently optimized stages are combined to form a pipeline, we propose a final global optimization step to improve pipeline yield with no area overhead, based on a concept of area borrowing. Optimization results show that, the proposed statistical design approach for pipeline improves the overall yield up to 12% over conventional design for equal area.","PeriodicalId":373563,"journal":{"name":"14th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'05)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125818405","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}

Unexpected and unpredictable behaviors of devices usually lead to poor quality and reliability. Low-cost test techniques that improves die sorting accuracy thus are critical for advanced devices. Flash memory is more prone to such problem compared with others. Large capacity, high density, and complicated cell structure makes flash memory cell behavior difficult to predict precisely. Even when we test the dies on the same wafer it can be bothering, as each of them may ask for different test condition due to geometric process variation. As a fast and easy-to-use method to solve the problem, we propose a sample classification method. It is not only effective for flash memory testing, but also for other types of circuits that face similar test problem. Experimental result shows that the method solves the flash memory die sort problem efficiently and accurately. The test time is greatly reduced-for an industrial chip, the test time is reduced from 8,817 ms to 718 ms. Moreover, the proposed approach is also suitable for design-for-testability (DFT) implementation that can easily be integrated with a commodity or embedded memory.","PeriodicalId":373563,"journal":{"name":"14th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'05)","volume":"2 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126097042","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}

It states: \"Recent advances in areas such as on-chip compression, low-cost test, and data analysis have burst onto the scene and are being rapidly and widely adopted\". Indeed, test compression is one of the fastest adopted DFT methodologies. It had been researched for ten years before it was commercially introduced four years ago, and now it has become the mainstream DFT technology. Just a couple of years ago, before on-chip test compression was introduced, it was broadly believed that Logic BIST was going to be the next generation DFT methodology for manufacturing test. There were three main advantages of test compression over Logic BIST that contributed to its rapid adoption: simplicity of the design flow that does not require test points or x-bounding logic, excellent manageable and predictable test quality, and significant reduction of cost of test. Compression of volume of test data and test time by several orders of magnitude combined with on-chip PLLs controlling at-speed capture allow for dramatic reduction of cost of test. Disruptive technology of this magnitude has impact that goes far beyond cost of manufacturing test. Test compression has changed competitive landscape, opened up completely new opportunities in product quality and yield management, and has redefined DFT technology roadmaps. It stimulates research and development activities in new areas that until now were considered not promising or not practical, enables quality of testing that was unachievable until now, accelerates adoption of new fault models that take into account physical data bases and timing information, and changes how fault diagnostics and yield learning are done in manufacturing environment. The presentation will discuss many of these issues, new opportunities, new and not so new challenges, as well as future technology roadmaps.","PeriodicalId":373563,"journal":{"name":"14th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'05)","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128995776","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}

Information obtained from silicon by testing and/or fault analysis is sometimes fed back for redesign of VLSI circuits. In this paper we propose a method to maximize defect coverage of a test set initially generated for stuck-at faults in a full scan sequential circuit by using feed back information from fault analysis. If a test set for more complex faults than stuck-at faults is generated, higher defect coverage would be obtained. Such a test set, however, would have a large number of test vectors, and hence the test costs would go up. The proposed method improves defect coverage of the test set by not adding new test vectors but modifying test vectors with the information obtained from fault analysis. Therefore there are no negative impacts on test data volume and test application time. The initial fault coverage for stuck-at faults of the test set is guaranteed with modified test vectors. In this paper we focus on detecting as many as possible non-feedback AND/OR-type bridging faults. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly decreases the number of non-feedback AND/OR-type bridging faults undetected by a test set generated for stuck-at faults","PeriodicalId":373563,"journal":{"name":"14th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'05)","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121257102","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 digital radio applications, running BER tests during production is highly prohibitive in terms of test cost due to the prolonged testing time required for applying RF modulated digital data-frames (each containing pseudo-random bit patterns) to the receiver and capturing the response digital bits at low baseband data-rate. Accurate and repeatable BER measurement requires the use of a large number of data-frames. In this paper, a new production testing methodology for measuring BER of wireless receivers is presented. The proposed methodology significantly reduces the time for making BER measurements by applying a sequence of AC tests. The BER value is predicted using statistical regression models that map the results of the AC tests to the expected BER value. The method also alleviates the need for using a complex BER tester (BERT).

In general, a test engineer has 4 things he wants to optimize: (1) Test cost, (2) Yield, (3) Time to volume/Time to Market, and (4) Defective-Parts-Per- Million (DPPM) of shipped devices. The relative importance of each of these goals depends on market segment, maturity of the product and a host of other factors. Test cost is minimized by optimizing test time, and by choosing low-cost test platforms. There are also other factors involved in test cost, including burnin requirements and the need for testing at multiple temperatures. Optimization of yield and DPPM often involves improving test reliability to minimize guardbands, as well as ensuring high test coverage. Timeto- volume constraints, often imposed by market requirements, put severe pressure on test engineers to develop reliable low-cost test solutions in minimum time.","PeriodicalId":373563,"journal":{"name":"14th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'05)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123586780","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}
