  • Abstract
    Failure analysis is one of the most challenging tasks in IC manufacturing today. Every failed die clamours for individual attention and the task of finding the defect which is the root cause of the problem can take hours to a few days. Automation aids in a very limited way in this area and this inevitably leads to wars. So how do we prevent wars in IC diagnosis? Some suggestions are given for improving design for diagnosis, fault modelling and diagnosis algorithms, and defect excitation
