Testing and Reliability of Integrated Circuits and Systems

• Testing digital integrated circuits.
• Examples of mistakes.
• Generation of test vectors.
• Design for test (DFT).
• Built-in self-test (BIST).
• Analog Integrated Circuit Testing.
• Industrial testing (functional and parametric testing, characterization).

Understand the issues involved in industrial testing of integrated circuits and systems, as well as methods for reducing testing costs (vector generation, test-oriented design, etc.). Understand characterization techniques and know how to determine the operating and performance margins of digital integrated circuits.
