Automotive integrated circuits (ICs) are the critical drivers behind modern vehicle automation, safety, and efficiency. As electronic systems in automobiles become increasingly complex, robust testing ...

Historically, testability is an afterthought in the design process. But heightening complexity of chip designs, and especially SoCs, forces testability (and manufacturability) to take a more central ...

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 ...

Design-for-test, or DFT, should facilitate high-quality test, not change the design. Test techniques and strategies need to supply a high-quality test that screens out defective devices, avoiding ...

The semiconductor industry continues to face numerous challenges as designs approach reticle limits, process nodes evolve and engineering resources become increasingly stretched. It is essential to ...

System-level test (SLT), once used largely as a stopgap measure to catch issues missed by automated test equipment (ATE), has evolved into a necessary test insertion for high-performance processors, ...

For most system-on-chip (SoC) designs, the most critical task is not RTL coding or even creating the chip architecture. Today, SoCs are designed primarily by assembling various silicon intellectual ...

Self-healing tests became the QA industry's biggest bet in 2025. Vendors claim AI can fix broken automation overnight. Engineering teams are burning budgets on tools that supposedly eliminate ...

Semiconductor chiplets represent an advancement in microchip design. They divide traditional monolithic systems into smaller, modular components. Unlike traditional monolithic SoCs, which integrate ...
