Scope and Mission

Troubleshooting how and why circuits and systems fail is important and is rapidly growing in industry significance. Debug and diagnosis may be needed for yield improvement, process monitoring, debugging the design function, failure mode learning for R&D, or just getting a working first prototype. But the detective work can become tricky. Sources of difficulty include circuit complexity, packaging, physical access, shortened product creation cycle, the traditional focus on just pass/fail testing, and missing tool and equipment capabilities. New and efficient solutions for debug and diagnosis will have a much needed and highly visible impact on productivity. The mission and objective of the SDD06 Workshop is to consider all issues related to debug and diagnosis of circuits and systems - from prototype bring-up to volume production.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Debug Techniques and Methodologies
  • Structured Debug Architectures
  • Infrastructure IP for SDD
  • Design/Synthesis for Debug
  • Microprocessor Debug
  • Debug for FPGAs
  • Reuse of DFT for Debug and Diagnosis
  • Debug of Embedded Cores/SoCs
  • Digital/analog Turn-on
  • Methods & Tools
  • System Level Debug & Diagnosis
  • Equipment Impact and Techniques
  • Manufacturing & Prototype Environment
  • Silicon Debug Standardization
  • Case Studies
Advance Program (Preliminary Version 1)

Session 1: Chair - TBD

Experience & Opinion (Failure Analysis)

Discussion - What really changed from .18um down to 65nm? - T. McLaurin, ARM

What tests are different - or are there any? What type of reliability is being done - or is there any? Are things really failing differently? Are there any different mbist algorithms being used and why? What new infrastructure was put in for debug and diagnosis of failures? What are other considerations - what else do we need for easier debug and diagnosis?
