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 ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

Testing can represent as much as half the cost of semiconductor device manufacture. To reduce that, Mentor Graphics' TestKompress uses a new compression technology that lets designers cut the amount ...

Fort Worth, TX. ITC is underway this week, with companies on hand to highlight their software, switching systems, mmWave test cells, test structures, sensors, and power supplies. For example, ...

Mission-critical applications within markets such as transportation and medical devices require higher overall manufacturing test quality, but that often means more test patterns, data volume, and ...

Large digital integrated circuits are becoming harder to test in a time- and cost-efficient manner. AI chips, in particular, have tiled architectures that are putting pressure on older testing ...
