Q: How important is DFT among semiconductor manufacturers? A: Given the complexity of chips being designed today, every semiconductor company knows how vital DFT is to ensuring product reliability.

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the rapidly changing landscape of design for testability (DFT), focusing on the impact of advancements in fault models, high-speed ...

DFT has nearly half of its square footage in preconstruction or construction. As these developments complete, we anticipate substantial FFO/share growth. At just over 15X FFO, this growth is not ...

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to explore how AI impacts design for testability, with Jeorge Hurtarte, senior director of product marketing in the Semiconductor Test Group at ...

What is CTL, and why is it important to the semiconductor industry? The answers are here. Although the IEEE 1450.0 Stand-ard Test Interface Language (STIL) was adopted in March 1999, widespread ...

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 ...

Reading Dan Strassberg’s 1988 article “Pioneering engineers begin to adopt board-level automatic test generation” (PDF) made me realize that there are two DFT-related rules for success that are as ...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have become a ubiquitous feature of journal articles in all of chemistry’s subdisciplines, used by researchers to electronically characterize molecules or ...

Hedge funds and large money managers usually invest with a focus on the long-term horizon and, therefore, short-lived dips on the charts, usually don’t make them change their opinion towards a company ...
