Session 14: Test and Diagnostic, Test and Debug
Location: Lalique Ballroom (InterContinental Hotel Dallas)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: Failure isolation and debug of integrated circuits has become increasingly difficult to perform, and there is a vital need to effectively utilize semiconductor test and to properly interpret test failures. Some test equipment is optimized to process structural and design-for-test based test sequences. Diagnosis software can be used to determine the location and defect mechanisms causing test failures. A variety of test, characterization, and diagnosis techniques now help failure analysis engineers in the process of determining root cause of failing devices, thus accelerating the failure and yield-analysis process.
