    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a system, method and service for detecting and analyzing systematic conditions occurring in manufactured devices. Each embodiment comprises generating a unique signature for each of multiple tested devices. The signatures are generated based on an initial set of signature definitions and the values for those signature definitions that are derived at least in part from selected testing data. A systematic condition is detected based on commonalities between the signatures. The systematic condition is then analyzed, alone or in conjunction with additional information, in order to develop a list of underlying similarities between the devices. The analysis results can be used to refine the systematic condition detection and analysis processes by revising the signature definitions set and/or by modifying data selection.

    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for diagnostically testing circuitry within a device. The apparatus and method incorporate the use of energy (e.g., light, heat, magnetic, electric, etc.) applied directly to any location on the device that can affect the electrical activity within the circuitry being tested in order to produce an indicator of a response. A local sensor (e.g., photonic, magnetic, etc.) is positioned at another location on the device where the sensor can detect the indicator of the response within the circuitry. A correlator is configured with response location correlation software and/or circuit tracing software so that when the indicator is detected, the correlator can determine the exact location of a response causing a device failure and/or trace the connectivity of the circuitry, based upon the location of the energy source and the location of the sensor.

    摘要: A method for designing a chip a priori for design subsetting, feature analysis, and yield learning. The method includes identifying a plurality of signal paths within a chip design that can be readily identified from chip fail data and removing a fraction of the plurality of signal paths that have physical design constraints to generate a subset of the plurality of signal paths. The method further includes constructing a physical implementation of each of the signal paths in the subset, identifying one or more signal paths in the subset that are not constructed consistently with the respective physical implementation, and removing those signal paths from the subset.
