In a SoC physical design flow, it is very important that there is correlation with respect to timing between various tools. Perfect timing correlation between tools leads to faster timing closure, and ...

Growing pressure to improve IC reliability in safety- and mission-critical applications is fueling demand for custom automated test pattern generation (ATPG) to detect small timing delays, and for ...

Semiconductor companies have come to rely on delay testing to attain high defect coverage of manufactured digital ICs. Delay testing uses TD (transition delay) patterns created by ATPG (automatic test ...
