While increased transistor densities and smaller feature sizes present opportunities for enhanced capabilities, they also bring about significant hurdles such as heightened manufacturing variability and sensitivity to runtime and workload effects. Moreover, higher design densities result in elevated current and power densities, necessitating solutions for maintaining voltage supply levels and managing heat dissipation. Complicated factors like chip placement, system arrangements, and hardware–software interactions further elevate the risk of physical failure, making it challenging to model, mitigate, or identify issues during the design, manufacturing, and testing phases.","PeriodicalId":48917,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Design & Test","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141507572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He is currently the vice president of engineering at Siemens Tessent Wilsonville, Wilsonville, OR, USA. During his tenure at Siemens, he has built a strong international research and development organization with a focus on innovative DFT technologies. His team has developed several revolutionary products widely adopted by the semiconductor industry: TestKompress, cell-aware test, and streaming scan networks. He has published 300 IEEE research papers and is a co-inventor of 130 U.S. and international patents. His papers won prestigious awards, including two best paper awards published in IEEE Transactions on CAD, one on logic synthesis and another on test compression. In 2009, Janusz received the Stephen Swerling Innovation Award from Mentor Graphics for his breakthrough innovation TestKompress and revitalizing Mentor’s DFT business to its current position as the number one test business in EDA. In 2018, he received the Siemens Inventor of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award for his extensive contributions to DFT. In 2023, he received the prestigious Bob Madge Innovation Award.
