Prof. Klemens Schnorr at the Marienorgel at the Freiburger Münster.
The four organs of Freiburg Münster were built in 1964/65. Main instrument is the Marienorgel on the left of transept (61 stops, 4 manuals and pedal), built as well as the Choir organ by Rieger, Schwarzach / Austria. The Choir organ was changed in 1990 and translated from the left to the right side. The organ in the main nave is built by Marcussen /Denmark, its organ case is inspired by the original instrument made by Jörg Ebert from Ravensburg in 1545. The16th century sculptures of holy Mary (top) and the trumpet player (bottom) are still conserved. The organ on S.Michael choir in the tower was built by Freiburg organ builder Späth. All four organs with totally 136 stops can be played at the central console in the choir.

Organizers

- Erik Jan Marinissen : NXP Research, NL

Moderator
- Ben Bennetts : Bennetts Associates, UK

Abstract:  Just a few years ago, Logic BIST was presented as the one and only solution to virtually all test challenges: growing ATE costs, growing test application times, difficult test access to deeply embedded cores, etc. However, suddenly, in 2001, before mainstream acceptance of Logic BIST, the first commercial Test Data Compression tool was launched. This, and similar TDC products, seemed to have quickly gained foothold in the DfT market. This panel will address the following questions: Did TDC tools actually erode the market for Logic BIST tools? How do TDC and Logic BIST compare, in benefits and costs? Is the success of TDC a temporary thing, while the long-term solution still has to come from Logic BIST? What are companies offering or using today, and how do they expect that to change in the medium- and long-term future? Is the DfT space per chip big enough for both approaches to co-exist?

Abstract  Excessive power during test affects the reliability of digital integrated circuits, test throughput and manufacturing yield. Numerous low power test methods have been investigated over the past decade and new power-aware automatic test pattern generation, design-for-test and test planning techniques have emerged. This embeded tutorial introduces the topic of low power test and it overviews the basic techniques and some recent advancements in this field.

System-in-Package (SIP), A combination of challenges and solutions
Philippe CAUVET : NXP, France · Serge BERNARD · Michel RENOVELL : LIRMM, France

Abstract  System-in-Package (SiP) has recently become a significant technology in the semiconductor industry, offering to the consumer applications many new product features without increasing the overall form factor. In this talk, the basic SiP concepts are first discussed, showing difference between SiP and SoC, illustrated by some examples, drawn from real-life cases. The specific challenges are considered from the testing point of view, focussing on the assembled yield and defect level for the packaged SiP. Various bare-die test techniques to find known-good-dies are described including their limitations, followed by two techniques to test the SiP at the system level: functional system test and embedded component test. A brief discussion on future SiP design and test challenges concludes the presentation.

IC Test Cost Benchmarking
Klaus LUTHER : Infineon Technologies, Germany

Abstract  Driven by the increasing complexity of integrated circuits the pressure on test cost reduction increases exponentially as productivity on chip level progresses according to Moore's Law. A high-level strategic approach for test cost target setting and planning will be explained. The intention is to keep cost of test constant relative to overall cost of goods sold. This method has been developed and used at Infineon over the last couple of years to align our location, equipment and productivity target setting.

Wafer Level Reliability Screens
Peter MAXWELL : Micron Technology, USA

Abstract  This tutorial discusses test methods and voltage stress appoaches required to ensure effective cost effective defect screening to produce high quality, reliable products. Wafer level reliability screens (WLRS) refers to the application of screens during wafer test that will both activate and detect a sufficient number of defects so that early life failure rate (ELFR) is reduced enough to meet customer spec, preferably without doing burn-in. Further, these screens have to have acceptable yield loss and acceptable test times

11:00-12:30 Panel Session 13A: Error Tolerance: Are Good-enough Chips Good Enough?

Organizer
- Ilia Polian : Universität Freiburg, Germany

Moderator
- Ilia Polian : Universität Freiburg, DE

Abstract:  The advent of nanoscale technologies is leading to more and more errors, both hard and soft, showing up in the circuits. Known fault tolerance approaches can help in solving the problem, but often at an prohibitively high cost. Error tolerance is a novel paradigm stating that circuits containing defects, or good-enough (rather than perfect) chips, can operate in a way acceptable with respect to an application. First experiments demonstrated that a significant share of single-stuck-at faults in MPEG and JPEG devices lead to an acceptable performance. This panel will address the following questions: Is error tolerance a concept suited to achieve adequate yields in inherently unreliable nanoscale technologies? What are the implications of error tolerance on the design, test and verification flows? Is the market willing to accept good-enough chips? Is error tolerance applicable to hard or soft errors? What are the limitations?

Moderator
- Erik Jan Marinissen : NXP Research, NL

Abstract  What do you do when chips on a board behave unexpectedly? How do you know if the errors originate from functional design bugs or physical manufacturing defects? Do you have access to the internal silicon signals for observation and/or stimulation? Can you access the signals even when chips are mounted on boards and placed into systems? Do IJTAG and SJTAG initiatives help with this issue, or is something else needed?
