Fault Isolation
Location: Malachite Showroom (InterContinental Hotel Dallas)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: The haystacks are taller, and the needles are smaller. Before any understanding of a root cause can start, the failure analyst must first find the location of the defect on a failing chip. The Fault Localization Track focuses on both imaging and software techniques that can pinpoint a defective location on the failing chip.
