Teseda and Yokogawa Collaborate on STIL Pattern Transportability to Accelerate Time-to-Profit for Semiconductor Companies
TesedaT Corporation and Yokogawa Electric Corporation announced that they will work together to verify transportability of Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) Design-for-Test (DFT) data between the Teseda OpenDFT WorkBenchT engineering software and production test platforms. Customers using the Teseda V520T and the Yokogawa TS6000 SOC Test family will be able to validate, debug, and apply IEEE 1450 (STIL)-based production test data generated by electronic design automation (EDA) tools. The result will be a test development flow that will cut weeks from time-to-money for many of today's semiconductor products.
"Yokogawa is moving to a STIL-based flow to ensure our customers will have a smooth transition from design to test," said Norio Kubo, general manager of the SOC Department, ATE HQS Semiconductor Test Solution Division of Yokogawa. "By verifying STIL transportability with Teseda's OpenDFT environment, our customers can be confident that their designs will transition quickly from engineering to production, shortening time-to-money."
"As part of our new OpenDFTT initiative, the Teseda V520 engineering test platform running Teseda OpenDFT WorkBenchT software is a DFT productivity solution that saves weeks when validating and debugging DFT," said Steve Morris, president and CEO of Teseda. "Yokogawa's adoption of a STIL-based flow is a perfect fit for Teseda's OpenDFT production solution. By verifying STIL transportability we will enable our customers to move large volumes of test data from engineering to their Yokogawa testers on the production floor as quickly and efficiently as possible, reducing the cost of test."
The Teseda V520 engineering test platform running the Teseda OpenDFT WorkBench software is a DFT productivity tool for DFT-focused design validation, debug, and failure analysis. IC companies around the world using Teseda DFT-OptimizedT hardware architecture and DFT-IntelligentT software on theTeseda OpenDFT solutions can exploit the full power of DFT, uniting design, test and manufacturing. This helps them cut weeks from time-to-money while also improving device yield and profitability.
Yokogawa's global network of 18 manufacturing facilities, 91 affiliate companies, and over 500 sales and engineering offices spans 28 countries. Since its founding in 1915, the U.S. $3 billion company has been engaged in cutting-edge research and innovation, securing more than 4,500 patents and registrations, including the world's first distributed control system and the first digital sensors for flow and pressure measurement. Industrial automation and control, test and measurement, information systems and industry support are the core businesses of Yokogawa.
