TUTORIAL 5 Microelectronic Wafer Test Technology Presenters J. Broz, W. Mann Description This is broad tutorial covering
mechanical and electrical aspects of wafer sort and the impact wafer sort practices can have on assembly and device reliability. A general overview of wafer processing, device testing, and package assembly demonstrates importance of wafer sort and exactly where sort fits into the overall manufacturing process. General probe requirements discuss probe/bond pad configurations on the DUT needed for wafer sort, good/bad die identification, feedback to the fab, thoroughness of test, temperature effects, and cost pressures. Each component of a wafer test cell, e.g., the probe cards, the prober, and the ATE, are individually discussed in detail. High-volume manufacturing (HVM) sort-floor challenges discuss probe-card metrology, online cleaning to maintain high yield and throughput, and I/O damage control.
defect diagnosis activities have become a timeconsuming phase in the development cycle of a new design. This tutorial covers the state of the art in silicon debug and defect diagnosis ranging from the basic concepts to advanced applications and new DFD techniques. After a brief review of the basic concepts and applications of diagnostics over the life-cycle of a product, design for debug and silicon debug methods are discussed. Next, recent enhancements and advanced diagnosis topics are covered, including methods for at-speed debug and implementing assertions in silicon, diagnosis for delay-faults, debug of clocking and power networks, and establishing correlation between simulation and silicon. The tutorial finishes with scan-chain diagnosis, BIST-based diagnosis, and diagnosis for yield learning.
TUTORIAL 4 Advanced Memory Testing Presenter A. van de Goor Description The tutorial covers SRAM fault
modeling, test generation, tests and stresses, DFT, BIST and BISR. Spice simulation and IFA establishes faults in SRAMs; e.g., SAFs, transition and coupling faults. The fault space is established; address and data scrambling are addressed together with data backgrounds and addressing schemes, speed-related and peripheral circuit faults require nonlinear tests such as MOVI, GalRow, etc. A large set of SRAM tests (GalPat, MATS+, March C-, March LR, etc.) are covered; DFT, BIST and BISR are presented. The tutorial ends with a case study, in which a set of tests is applied to high speed industry SRAMs, using algorithm stresses, such as Fast-X/Fast-Y, different data backgrounds, etc.; together with voltage and
TUTORIAL 2 Delay Test: A Practical Approach Presenters A. Cron, B. Cory Description This tutorial provides an introduction to path and transition delay test techniques. It concentrates on design, vector generation methods, and vector application requirements. Attendees of the tutorial should be able to dive right into their next delay test challenge.

TUTORIAL 6 Design for Manufacturability, Yield and Reliability Presenters Y. Zorian, J.-A. Carballo Description In addition to designing the
TUTORIAL 7 Design-for-Testability for RF Circuits and Systems Presenters M. Margala, S. Osev Description As the level of integration
continues to increase, the test cost escalates. This issue only becomes aggravated as ICs are being designed with faster speed, more complexity, and higher density. Traditional testing mechanisms are specification-based and incapable of meeting current trends in test cost reductions. In addition, with the rapid growth of the wireless telecommunications industry, testing of RF circuitry has gained significant attention. The test costs associated with RF systems is considerable, affecting both time-tomarket and product cost requirements. The number of ATEs available with RF testing capabilities is sparse, and, therefore, these testers are exorbitantly expensive. The purpose of this tutorial is to educate the audience with efficient embedded DFT methods for RF circuits and systems. Its main focus is on practical and implementation aspects. The presented techniques and methodologies are extensively supported by silicon data.
TUTORIAL 8 Scan Compression Techniques: Theory and Practice Presenters R. Parekhji, T. W. Williams, R. Kapur, J. Abraham Description This tutorial provides
functionality, todays SOC necessitates designing for manufacturability, yield and reliability. Such requirements are fundamentally transforming the current SOC design methodology. Techniques for enhancing manufacturability, yield, and reliability, or DFX, include yield enhancement techniques, resolution enhancement techniques, new or restricted design rules, variability-aware design, and the addition of a special family of embedded IP blocks, called Infrastructure IP blocks. The latter blocks are meant to ensure manufacturability of the SOC and to achieve adequate levels of yield and reliability. The infrastructure IP leverages the manufacturing knowledge and feeds back the information into the design phase. This tutorial analyzes the key trends and challenges resulting in manufacturing susceptibility and field reliability that necessitate the use of the above DFX techniques and provides related examples.
a comprehensive coverage of scan compression. It begins with cost models to help designers understand the choices available to them. Thereafter, a more detailed view of compression with mathematical underpinning of the different techniques is presented. Implementation techniques and tradeoffs are described. Diagnostics, which is an important part of deep-submicron designs, are also discussed within the realm of compression. Finally, compression results are be presented to illustrate how best the theory and practice fit together.
TUTORIAL 11 Practices in Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF Testing Presenters S. Abdennadher, S. Shaikh Description The objective of this tutorial is to
present existing industry ATE solutions and alternative solutions to ATE testing for mixedsignal and RF SOCs. These techniques greatly rely upon DFT and BIST structures. The tutorial presents the basic concepts in analog and RF measurements (eye diagram, jitter, gain, power compression, harmonics, noise figure, phase noise, BER, etc.). Several industrial examples of production testing of mixed-signal and RF devices, such as, SERDES transceivers, PHYs, HSIO, and RF transceivers are also presented. The block-DFT solutions are presented for PLLs, CDR, equalizers, filters, mixers, AGC, LNAs, DACs and ADCs. The testing of high-speed IO interfaces, such as, PCIe, and SATA, etc, and the new design trends in RF systems such as MIMO and SIPbased systems and their testability are also presented.

TUTORIAL 16 Statistical Screening Methods Targeting "Zero Defect" IC Quality and Reliability Presenter A. Singh Description Integrated circuits have
traditionally all been tested identically in the manufacturing flow. However, as the detection of subtle manufacturing flaws becomes ever more challenging and expensive in aggressively scaled nanometer technologies, innovative new statistical screening methods are being developed that attempt to improve test effectiveness and optimize test costs by adaptively subjecting suspect parts to more extensive testing. The idea is similar to security screening at airports. Such methods fall into two broad categories: those that exploit the statistics of defect distribution on wafers, and those that exploit the correlation in the variation of process and performance parameters on wafers. This tutorial presents test methodologies that span both these categories, and illustrates their effectiveness with results from a number of recently published experimental studies on real production circuits by key manufacturers.
TUTORIAL 13 Delay Testing: Theory and Practice Presenters S. Patil, S. Chakravarty Description The goal of this tutorial is to
provide the background and knowledge of DFT methods, tools/methodologies and bestknown industry practices necessary for implementation of delay-test methodology on both custom and ASIC designs. To that end, it covers the following key aspects of delay tests: delay-test models and test application techniques, incorporating environmental conditions such as cross-talk and power droop in delay tests, DFT design techniques to support scan-based delay test, relevant tools and methodologies and representative test case studies from the industry. The focus of the tutorial is primarily scan-based delay tests with emphasis on real-world implementation using industrial case studies. On the theory front, the emphasis is on the easy-tounderstand theoretical concepts related to delay test, and not on the complicated algebra and theory which accompanies many theoretical works on delay test.
TUTORIAL 15 Scan-based Yield Improvement, Debug and Diagnosis Presenters G. Eide, A. Crouch Description Most digital IC designs today
use DFT techniques like internal scan and BIST to increase the designs testability and automate the test generation process. This tutorial is an investigation into detecting and isolating design errors, implementation errors, logic and manufacturing problems using structural techniques and scan architectures. When implemented correctly, scan and other DFT techniques can be used to simplify debug and diagnosis of silicon during device bringup on the tester, characterization, failure analysis and initial and ongoing yield analysis. The tutorial covers how to utilize existing DFT structures as well as how to successfully apply design-for-debug (DFD) and design-for-yield (DFY) techniques and how to collect and relate fail data from the test process to reduce the time to identify the problem or its root cause.
TUTORIAL 17 Test Strategies for System-inPackage Presenter Y. Zorian Description Todays miniaturization and
performance requirements result in the usage of high-density advanced packaging technologies, such as system-in-package (SIP), direct-chip-attach, chip-scale packaging (CSP), and ball-grid arrays (BGA). Due to their physical access limitation, the complexity and cost associated with their test and diagnosis are considered major issues facing their use. This tutorial provides comprehensive knowledge of test solutions for advanced packages by placing particular emphasis on: test and debug approaches for bare dies; testing schemes for flip-chips used in direct-chip attach, CSP and SIP packages; testing bare substrates, and finally, test, diagnosis and repair techniques for assembled modules.

This tutorial will attempt to describe the basics of mixed-signal production test in less than 1-1/2 hours. Well start by having a brief look at ATE hardware and the importance of the tester interface in the role of mixed-signal test. This will then be followed by a discussion of the three fundamental impairments of analog and mixed-signal circuitsthese being: signal transmission loss, noise, and distortion and how each are tested using ATE. As accuracy and precision are central to any discussion on production test, well look at the implication of these issues on the test process (yield and test time). Finally, well look specifically at the ways in which amplifiers, filters, data converters, SERDES and RF-type devices are tested in production. We shall close out on a short discussion on design-for-test and BIST techniques for mixed-signal testing. About the speaker: Dr. Gordon Roberts is a professor and James McGill Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University. He has co-written five textbooks related to analog IC design and mixed-signal test and he has contributed numerous chapters to industrially focused textbooks. Dr. Roberts together with his students have won numerous awards including the ITC 2000 Best Paper Award, ITC 1994 Honorable Mention Paper Award and the ITC 1993 Honorable Mention Paper Award. He has also won several awards for teaching including the 2000 Best Tutorial Award from the Test Technology Technical Council of the IEEE Computer Society. In 2003 he took leave from McGill to help start DFT Microsystems, Inc., a company specializing in high-speed timing measurement. Dr. Roberts received the B.A.Sc. degree from the University of Waterloo in 1983 and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, in 1986 and 1989, respectively.

Todays connected environment has created significant growth opportunities in the electronics industry. Products have never been so diverse, ranging from phones that can play movies and give directions to super routers that can move terabits worth of data around the world instantly. It is now possible to access the internet from areas which once had little to no contact at all with the rest of the world. This growth in opportunities has spurred significant supply chain growth with significant growth in both consumers and suppliers. The challenges for todays supply chain have also grown significantly with much greater diversity in products; increasing customer requirements (lower cost, faster deliver, better quality and faster time-to- market); smaller, denser, faster and more complex technology and a supply chain that now consists of thousands of suppliers and thousands of customers all over the world. All of this with a totally virtual, global supply chain. Mike Lydon will highlight these challenges and discuss how test, and the data produced by test can either enable or disrupt these virtual supply chains. He will talk about communication in the virtual supply chain and how test can enable real time, end-to-end adjustments over the product lifecycle. Mike will conclude by presenting his vision of the test and data managed, optimized, end-to-end, global, virtual supply chain. About the speaker: Mike Lydon, Vice President of Technology and Quality (T&Q), oversees the advanced manufacturing engineering, test, and technology process definition and management. This includes component engineering management, central test development, and manufacturing quality process oversight. Mike has been with Cisco Manufacturing for nine years where hes held a number of roles of increasing responsibility. Prior to his current role, he was in the Product Operations group where he led a team responsible for manufacturing product and test engineering, DfX, lifecycle margin management, value engineering, and product supply strategy for Internet Systems Business Unit (ISBU), Application Delivery Business Unit (ADBU), and the Security Technologies Group (STG). Mike has extensive experience in production operations, product introduction, and R&D at Cisco and elsewhere. In 1998 Mike arrived at Cisco through an acquisition where he reported to the CEO, responsible for the entire supply chain and sourcing strategies, quality oversight, manufacturing engineering, and product cost accountingafter building these capabilities from the ground up. Mike earned a BSME degree from the University of California, Davis.

These vectors are known to cause IR drop, voltage droop, hot spots, etc. 11 Monday: 9 to Consequently, there is an increase in demand for power reporting, insertion of DFT logic to control power dissipation during shift Monday: 12 to 16 as well as capture, design partitioning, imposing power threshold limits during ATPG, etc. But there are some basic questions that need to be answered. Is there a real power dissipation problem during test mode? Is it impacting yield today? How do we make sure that power dissipation during test SundayTuesday Wednesday Thursday-Friday correlates well with the functional mode? Are we under-testing our design if we restrict power? This panel provides a forum to ask these tough questions to the experts and help us understand how to address the challenges in the near future. Panelists: R. Galivanche, Intel W. Huott, IBM P.

Workshop Summaries
ATE Vision 2020: IEEE International Workshop on Automated Test Equipment Vision 2020
Scope: This workshop will examine where the ATE industry is heading in the near-term as well as in the long-term. Integrated circuits get denser, larger, and faster and more heterogeneous. As the number of dies in a single package increases, so does the test quality target.Invited Addresses Certain dies require known-good-die (KGD) quality levels, whereas more complex failure modes already challenge our yield learning curves. These issues, when added to increasing cost-of-test (COT), time-to-volume (TTV), and time-to-market (TTM) pressures, driven by todays high-volume market applications, pose significant challenges to the ATE industry. To meet those challenges the 9 to 11 needs to innovate16 areas such as test methodologies, interconnection technologies, architectures, and designMonday: industry Monday: 12 to in for-testability (DFT) technologies. The goal of this workshop is to create an informal forum to discuss those innovations relevant to ATE developers and users. We are looking for solutions to the issues of 2020 and beyond, not those of 2008. Are our roadmaps SundayTuesday addressing future test Wednesday Do we have the right business models in place to succeed in the future? Join the discussion. challenges? Thursday-Friday Representative topics include, but are not limited to the following:
ATE for statistical test ATE/EDA link Lost-cost ATE Adaptive design techniques RF and high-speed I/O test Test methods for future defects
General Chair: Erik Volkerink, erik.volkerink@verigy.com Program Chair: Scott Davidson, Scott.Davidson@sun.com
Scope: As silicon-based CMOS technologies are fast approaching their ultimate limits reliability is threatened by issues such as process, voltage and temperature variability, accelerated aging and wearout, radiation-induced soft-errors and crosstalk. These problems are creating barriers to further technology scaling and are forcing the introduction of new process and design solutions aimed at maintaining acceptable levels of reliability. As elimination of these issues is becoming increasingly difficult, various design techniques including self-calibration and fault tolerance are emerging as the most promising design approaches to circumvent them. However, these techniques may incur significant area, power or performance penalties. Thus, to enable their adoption by industrial teams, there is need for new solutions which minimize these penalties, together with automation tools. The goal of this workshop is to create an informal forum to discuss those design, EDA and test innovations enabling chips to maintain acceptable reliability levels at reasonable cost. Topics to include:
Reliability issues in advanced CMOS Variability-aware design Radiation effects in advanced CMOS Design-for-Reliability Fault-tolerant architectures Variability mitigation Self-calibrating architectures Online monitoring of circuit parameters Design automation for fault tolerance Variability-insensitive architectures Reliability assessment tools
Scope: New test-data-based methodologies are required to detect, monitor, and comprehend the various defect mechanisms at sub-50nm technology nodes. Data-driven testing (DDT) has been in practice for a number of years. It is now gaining attention more than ever in adaptive test. DDT can provide feedbacks on which tests to add/remove, or test subsets (e.g., reduced MINVDD test sets.) It can also be utilized for improving quality of logic test patterns (e.g., small delay defect, defect-based) vs. outlier analysis tests (e.g., MINVDD, IDDQ). However, test data has not been easily accessible by smaller companies and researchers in academia. These issues will be discussed in this years D3T workshop. The D3T is aimed at addressing these issues and others related to this years theme DataDriven Testing (DDT). Paper presentations on topics related to the workshops theme and to those given below are expected to generate active discussion on the challenges that must be met to ensure high IC quality through the end of the decade:
Outlier identification Data-driven testing Test data analysis Adaptive testing Data mining methods for test data processing Low voltage testing Noise and crosstalk testing Nanometer test challenges Defect coverage and Metrics Mixed-current/voltage testing Economics of defect-based testing Fault localization and diagnosis
