At Alcatel-Lucent, we test chassis-level products that provide 42 board slots on a midplane, essentially a passive backplane that accepts boards on its front and rear sides. Thirty-four of those slots ...

Yield improvement at sub 100-nm technologies relies on the latest scan test techniques. As IC feature sizes shrink below 90 nm, in-line inspection techniques to determine yield-limiting problems ...

For some time, engineers have followed the IEEE 1149.1 standard, also known as “boundary-scan,” to create test structures on pc boards and in complete systems. Unfortunately, once products leave a ...

Boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1) evolved as a board-level test method, but new developments are making the technology attractive for embedded and system-level test and in-system programming operations.

Some new design-for-test (DFT) technologies are difficult, expensive, or risky to implement but offer significant benefits. Other technologies are easy to implement but offer minor improvements. The ...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Heart scan calcium tests are a quick and painless way to check for coronary artery disease. It's a simple test that can really save your life. Often times people dealing with with ...
