In life, more often than not experience will mean the difference between success and failure. Experience is a great tool to have when designing an efficient air suspension, too, but what do you do if ...

Each new manufacturing process generation brings with it a whole new set of challenges. In an era of multimillion-gate complexity and increasing density of nanometer manufacturing defects, a key ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...

Test compression sounds like magic. Read on to learn how this trick is done. Large, complex ICs are viable because their design meets test as well as functional requirements. Design for test (DFT) was ...

Mission-critical applications within markets such as transportation and medical devices require higher overall manufacturing test quality, but that often means more test patterns, data volume, and ...

General Electric Oil & Gas, a business unit of GE Power Systems, recently supplied a compressor train for the Malaysia LNG Tiga Sdn. Bhd. (No. 3) project at its Bintulu, Malaysia, plant. We performed ...
