Test Integration for SOC Supporting Very Low-Cost Testers

The HOY (Hypothesis, Odyssey, and Yield) test system provides wireless test access and embedded DFT, while offering lower cost and better performance than conventional ATE. This article briefly describes HOY, then proposes a test cost model to compare it ...

3-D integration provides another way to put more devices in a smaller footprint. However, it also introduces new challenges in testing. Flexible test architecture named test access control system for 3-D integrated circuits (TACS-3D) is proposed for 3-D ...

The test scheduling problem is one of the major issues in the test integration of system-on-chip (SOC), and a test schedule is usually influenced by the test access mechanism (TAM). In this paper we propose a graph-based approach to power-constrained ...
