In order to meet market demands for the rapid introduction of new semiconductor products, automated means of diagnosing defective silicon are fast becoming a requirement. The use of these techniques affects many parts of the product design and manufacturing processes. This paper describes the development and deployment of an automated diagnosis methodology within Texas Instruments.
