Abstract

This paper describes the goals and history of the Quality Test Artion Group (QTAG) since it was formed at the 1993 International Test Conference. QTAG was created to provide the industry with a de-facto standard for IDDQ/ISSQ monitors on test fixtures for production testing of CMOS ICs. The group was needed because informal discussions between the semiconductor test departments and the ATE vendors over the past decade had failed to generate the ATE based IDDQ test instrumentation needed by the semiconductor industry.
