I-B. MOTIVATION DFT failures due to loose design practices, however, have been commonplace throughout the history of modern IC design. What has changed recently to accentuate the problem? The answer ...

Abstract As gate counts continue to swell at a rapid pace, modern systems-on-chip (SoCs) are increasingly integrating more design-for-testability (DfT) capabilities 1. Test and diagnosis of complex ...

At its core, DFT postulates that the ground-state energy of a quantum system is a functional of the electron density. This principle, known as the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, simplifies the problem of ...
