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

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?
