COURSE OVERVIEW

VLSI professionals can build a rewarding and challenging career with DFT Online Course and DFT Training.
Design For Testability, commonly called as DFT is a specialization in the SOC design cycle, which facilitates design for detecting manufacturing defects. DFT Course is different than functional verification, which tests the functionality of the design and is popularly known as Design Verification.
VLSI DFT Course online has evolved as a specialization in itself over period of time, with the increase in size & complexity of chips, facilitated by the advancement of manufacturing technologies like 10nm, 7nm, DFT Engineers works on introducing various test structures as part of the design flow, on increasing the testability of logic, pads, memories, interconnects.
DFT Course Online covers different techniques like Scan Insertion to test the combinational & sequential logic, BIST to test the memories, JTAG to test the PADS..etc. Using ATPG Techniques test patterns are generated on the scan inserted design. Generated patterns are simulated and debugged in case of any failures.
VLSI DFT Course Online is designed as per industry requirements, covering SCAN, ATPG, BIST, JTAG along with hands-on labs and multiple projects covering all the DFT techniques.

What Our Learners Have to Say

I have completed my DFT course from ChipEdge. Trainers are very good and informative. Materials and recorded sessions can be accessed in LMS portal which is very helpful. The lab access through VPN has helped me to have good hands on training. The topics explained by the instructor is very clear, where sir had good patience level to explain the topics. Trainers address the problems individually. Training was helpful for placements. Thank you ChipEdge.

I pursued DFT course from ChipEdge, the instructor was excellent, the best I've experienced, and I couldn't imagine him doing a better job of seamlessly walking students through a breadth of information. He did a fabulous job pacing everything and addressing student questions. There were no problems with connectivity. Just wanted to let you know that the service provided, from registration to training was a very positive experience for me. Placement assistance provided was also very good. I intend on taking more courses in the future and referring friends/family members to take courses at ChipEdge. Thank you ChipEdge Technologies.
