The 2006 International Test Conference is scheduled for the week of October 22 in Santa Clara, CA. For more on this year’s ITC, read our interview with program chair Anne Gattiker. Semiconductor test ...

Left-shifting DFT, scalable tests from manufacturing to the field, enabling system-level tests for in-field debug.

BALTIMORE — The marriage of design-for-test (DFT) software with test hardware may drastically lower the cost of test, according to several companies that will present their plans at this week's ...

Design for Test (DFT) managers often must make difficult and sometimes costly trade-offs between test implementation effort and manufacturing test cost. The traditional method for evaluating these ...

Design for test (DFT) has been around since the 1960s. The technology was developed to reduce the cost of creating a successful test for an IC. Scan design, fault models, and automatic test pattern ...

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 ...
