Abstract

Improving debug techniques for logic failures is aconstant imperative. This paper describes the resultsof implementing a logic mapping methodology thatintegrates in-line manufacturing defect data andscan-based diagnosis for a complex microprocessor.The correlation between the physical failure analysisresults and defect inspection data is presented andanalyzed. Methods to improve the percentage of'hits' are explored, supported by a detailed accountof challenges and obstacles encountered during theexperiment. Finally, the paper also briefly highlightsthe amount of time that can be saved in processdebug through the usage of logic mapping.
