One of the prime challenges of testing a system-on-achip (SOC) is to reduce the required test data size. In this paper, we introduce a novel compression / decompression scheme based on geometric shapes that substantially reduces the amount of test data and reduces test time. The proposed scheme is based on ordering the test vectors in such a way that enables the generation of geometric shapes t...

Despite relevance to disparate areas such as cloud microphysics and tribology, major gaps in the understanding of the structures and phase transitions of low-dimensional water ice remain. Here, we report a first principles study of confined 2D ice as a function of pressure. We find that at ambient pressure hexagonal and pentagonal monolayer structures are the two lowest enthalpy phases identifi...

In this paper, we proposed a test data compression scheme targeted for minimizing the amount of test data. The proposed scheme can reduce the test application time and minimize the amount of compressed test data, which reduces the size of data memory in ATE and the time needed to transfer test data. A decoder design is also presented. Experimental results on ISCAS benchmark circuits show that t...
