Abstract

A board and multi-chip module (MCM) manufacturing test simulator (MTSIM) is described, MTSIM is a concurrent engineering tool used to simulate the manufacturing test and repair aspects of boards and MCMs from design concept through manufacturing release. MTSIM helps designers select assembly process, specify, design for test (DFT) features, select board test coverage specify ASIC defect level goals, establish product feasibility, and predict manufacturing quality and cost goals. MTSIM was implemented in the Mentor Graphics Falcon framework at Colorado State University (CSU) and validated with high performance assemblies at Hewlett-Packard (HP). MTSIM is a step towards the simulation of the whole board/MCM assembly factory
