Empirical Computation of Reject Ratio in VLSI Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among significant components of testing cost are testlength, reject ratio, and lost-yield. In this paper a new approach is proposed to estimate the reject ratio. The empirical model is based on test-data properties that are believed to be invariant for a wide range of manufacturing technologies and types of tests. The analysis is carried out entirely in terms of the device test data, as might be available from wafer probe. Experimental results demonstrate robustness of the model.

Accurate computation of field reject ratio based on fault latency
The field reject ratio, the fraction of defective devices that pass the acceptance test, is a measure of the quality of the tested product. Although the assessment of quality is important, a n accurate measurement of the field reject ratio of tested VLSI chips is often not feasible. We show that the known methods of field reject ratio prediction a re not accurate since they fail to realisticall...

This paper deals with the problem of testing statisticalhypotheses when the available data are fuzzy. In this approach, wefirst obtain a fuzzy test statistic based on fuzzy data, and then,based on a new signed distance between fuzzy numbers, we introducea new decision rule to accept/reject the hypothesis of interest.The proposed approach is investigated for two cases: the casewithout nuisance p...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Distance Measures for Multivariate Time Series Clustering
Multivariate time series (MTS) data are ubiquitous in science and daily life, and how to measure their similarity is a core part of MTS analyzing process. Many of the research efforts in this context have focused on proposing novel similarity measures for the underlying data. However, with the countless techniques to estimate similarity between MTS, this field suffers from a lack of comparative...
متن کاملComputation of the Empirical Likelihood Ratio from Censored Data
The empirical likelihood ratio method is a general nonparametric inference procedure that has many desirable properties. Recently, the procedure has been generalized to several settings including testing of weighted means with right censored data. However, the computation of the empirical likelihood ratio with censored data and other complex settings is often non-trivial. We propose to use a se...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study on Reject Ratio Prediction for VLSl Circuits: Kokomo Revisited
Assurlng product quality Is becoming lncreaslngly more important for the semlconductor chip manufacturers. The reject ratlo (defect level) provides a simple and accurate measure of a product's quallty. However, measuring the reject ratlo of tested chips is often not feasible or accurate. Statlstical technlques for reject ratio prediction provide a posslble way out of this dilemma. In this paper...
