Among the challenges for design-for-test (DFT) engineers is how to set a target metric for automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) and how to choose the best set of patterns. Traditional coverage targets based on the number of faults detected don’t consider the likelihood of one fault occurring compared to another.

This white paper describes the basic components of the Tessent Streaming Scan Network (SSN), a technology designed to decouple core level and chip level DFT requirements. With SSN, DFT engineers can for the first time implement DFT using a true, effective bottom-up flow, not having to make trade-offs between implementation effort and manufacturing test cost.
