3D-IC Testing – A 3D perspective to SoC

3D-IC Testing – A 3D perspective to SoC
by Pawan Fangaria on 03-21-2012 at 9:30 am

In my last article I talked about the physical design aspect of 3D-IC. Now looking at its verification aspect, it spans through a wide spectrum of test at hardware as well as software level. The verification challenge goes much beyond that of a SoC which is at a single plane. Even a typical SoC that comprises of a processor core, memory… Read More


Design for test at RTL

Design for test at RTL
by Paul McLellan on 07-10-2011 at 3:09 pm

Design for test (DFT) imposes various restrictions on the design so that the test automation tools (automatic test pattern approaches such as scan, as well as built-in self-test approaches) will subsequently be able to generate the test program. For example, different test approaches impose constraints on clock generation… Read More
