Abstract

The world of Microelectronics is characterized by decreasing feature sizes and by this faces a continuous increase of complexity. The development of scan compression techniques was a significant innovative step to address increasing complexity to test logic parts of microelectronic products. This seminar guides you through the basics of test and Design-for-Test. After a summary of scan test and Automated Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) focus is on scan compression as one of the most advanced Design-for-Test techniques. Different implementations as well as the theoretical limits of compression are discussed. Insights into practical implementation for industrial designs are given.
