Abstract

Editor's note: Test technology faces new challenges as faults with increasingly complex behavior become predominant. Design approaches aimed at fixing some of the undesirable effects of nanometric technologies could jeopardize current test approaches. This article describes possible solutions to many of these challenges, including statistical timing and delay test, IDDQ test under exponentially increasing leakage, and power or thermal management architectures.--Michael Nicolaidis, iRoC Technologies
