Saidepet Ramesh, Director of DFT Design Quality at NXP Semiconductors, presented to a full room. The session was recorded and is now available for anyone to view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Targeted screening of bridges with defect oriented tests on automotive designs -  NXP Semiconductors\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bq5411Opm5g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Defect-oriented test enables a complete physical defect-based automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) for the digital logic area of CMOS-based designs. Bridges are the most important defects that occur during manufacturing, so NXP is keen on catching and eliminating them in advanced node automotive ICs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We are all about zero defects.<\/p>\n<cite>Saidepet Ramesh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>NXP evaluated the layout-aware ATPG test to target BEOL bridges and opens because their existing models were not performing well enough on advanced process nodes to keep up with their zero-defect requirements. Saidapet describes defect-oriented test, interconnect bridge and open defects, their evaluation of Tessent defect oriented test on NXP automotive designs, and results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automotive-grade ATPG includes a suite of fault models and test pattern generation applications that target defects in ICs at the transistor and interconnect levels \u2013 in the process helping customers capture defects that would otherwise go undetected with traditional methodologies. ISO 26262 reliability requirements demand zero defective parts per billion (DPPB), and Tessent helps the makers of automotive ICs, like NXP, to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how NXP achieves zero defects for bridging defects with Tessent&#8217;s defect oriented test in this video recorded at the 2023 North America U2U symposuim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69877,"featured_media":1985,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,1],"tags":[369],"industry":[53,56],"product":[269,735],"coauthors":[719],"class_list":["post-1989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-learning-resources","category-news","tag-yield-ramp","industry-electronics-semiconductors","industry-semiconductor-devices","product-tessent","product-tessent-yield"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/06\/Yield-PDF-blog-hero.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69877"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1989"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2020,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1989\/revisions\/2020"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1989"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=1989"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=1989"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/tessent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
