We host an industry seminar by Luc Romain, Principal Software Development Engineer at Siemens Digital Industries Software.

Luc will present “Introduction to Design-For-Test (DFT) and Memory Self-Repair”, offering an overview of modern structural test methodologies used in advanced SoC and ASIC development.

Date: Tuesday, March 3
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Location: ME (Mackenzie Building), Room 3235

About the Talk

As semiconductor systems continue to scale in complexity, Design-For-Test (DFT) has become a fundamental component of digital IC design. This seminar will introduce key concepts and industrial practices including:

  • Motivation and fundamentals of DFT
  • Scan insertion and Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG)
  • IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and IJTAG (1687) standards
  • Logic BIST and Memory BIST architectures
  • Fault models and test coverage
  • Memory self-repair and redundancy techniques
  • Overview of Siemens Tessent silicon lifecycle solutions
