The decision to change from a functional to a structural test methodology is a far-reaching one. Functional test vectors are meant to check for correct device functionality. Structural test vectors ...
Structural test is the foundation of the majority of IC production testing. The idea of structural test is that the entire chip operation doesn’t need to be known. Instead, the structural pieces and ...
As chipmakers move towards finer geometries, IC designs are obviously becoming more complex and expensive. Given the enormous risks involved, chipmakers must ensure the quality of the parts before ...
