Test compression has quickly moved from a luxury item for leading edge companies to a necessity for much of the mainstream market. This is because semiconductor companies manufacturing designs at ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

Nanometer fabrication processes offer higher circuit density and better performance but also present new challenges. Systematic and random defects that were a nuisance above 90 nm are now killer ...

Today’s highly complex and large system on chip (SoC) devices and systems present many challenges to be addressed from manufacturing tests to the field while meeting stringent requirements for test ...

Moore’s law has been the standard reference for semiconductor scaling. It roughly says that semiconductor design sizes, fueled by technology improvements, double every two years. Consequentially, the ...

Lithium-ion batteries are a kind of rechargeable battery that is charged or discharged through desorption or insertion of lithium ions (Li +) from or into the active material structure. In recent ...
