Career growth for a DFT Engineer

DFT or “Design For Testability” is a technique, which facilitates a design to become testable after production. It is the extra logic which we put in the normal design, during the design process, which helps its post-production testing. DFT is independent of design verification. Verification is required to verify the functionality of the chip while […]

How to Know Manufacturing Defects Using Design for Testability?

Good Chip, Bad Chip The term “good chip” refers to a chip that has no manufacturing flaws. A manufacturing defect is a finite chip area containing electrically faulty circuitry produced by fabrication faults. These manufacturing defects can be identified using design for testability (DFT). The defects are generally divided into two categories of broad area […]
