Scope

Theme: Testing a Design in its Natural Habitat

Since the inception of ITSW in Santa Barbara in 1994 chip geometries have shrunk from 500 to 65 nanometers with 45 nanometers on the near horizon. Digital circuit speeds have moved from the 100-200 MHz range to 2-3 GHz and higher. This amazing shrinkage and speedup has been spurred by innovative algorithms, tools and methodologies in all aspects of digital chip design and manufacturing. The widespread use of all aspects of Test Synthesis coupled with powerful pre-silicon verification approaches has been able to keep up with increasing chip complexity.

As ITSW moves to its new habitat in San Antonio, Texas, this year’s workshop will focus on post-silicon chip quality. ITSW 2007 will look at all aspects of testing in its natural habitat such as system bringup, system debug tools and architectures, re-use of pre-silicon DFT structures for post-silicon testing, hand-off of test IP, defect modeling, system test coverage metrics, SiP testing, system-level diagnostic methods, emerging standards for embedded testing, No-Fault Found methods, dealing with variations and imperfections inherent in the manufacturing process etc. As always ITSW will also consider the usual papers in the area of Test Synthesis including, but not limited, to the following:

Register Transfer Level DFT
High-Level/Behavioral Test Synthesis
System-on-a-Chip (SoC) DFT
Memory and Logic BIST
Test Synthesis for Debug and Diagnosis
DFT for Mixed-Signal Circuits
Test Resource Partitioning
Functional Verification
Power and Noise-Aware Test
DFT for At-Speed Test
High-speed I/O test
Reducing the Cost of Test
Design for Manufacturing and Yield
Board and System Test
SER / Concurrent Error Detection
Test Synthesis for Reconfigurable Logic

To present recent research results at the workshop, please submit an extended abstract, one to three pages long, in PDF format, to the Program Chair by January 12, 2007 via email. Please include the names, affiliations, and full contact information of all authors. Also, indicate which author will be the speaker if the abstract is accepted for presentation. To support open discussion, no proceedings of the workshop will be published. As in previous years, ITSW will present a BEST Student Paper Award to encourage student participation in the workshop.
