一、課程說明(Course Description)
This course is devoted to the fundamental knowledge of testing Very
Large-Scale Integrated circuits (VLSI). The emphasis is on the investigation of
various technically feasible test solutions combining both Design-for-
Testability hardware and Computer-Aided Design algorithms for test-pattern
generation to ensure the overall testability and quality of manufactured ICs. It
begins with the topics of fault modeling and fault simulation, followed by the
algorithms of Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG). Then, widely adopted
Design-for-Testability (DFT) techniques in IC design industry, such as Scan
Test, Built-In Self-Test (BIST), and test compression will be introduced. Upon
the completion of this course, the students will know how to apply all kinds of
test solutions to make an IC easily testable and reliable in a cost-effective
way.
