Cost of test reduction: assessment of IC tester for high volume and digitized analogue applications

Objective

- To prove the new generation ITS 900CV tester, which is specifically targeted at the microcontroller market, in the high volume production line of SGS-Thomson in Rousset.

- To demonstrate the effectiveness of the hardware and software developments achieved during previous projects.

- To reduce the 'Cost of Test' by a factor of two over the equipment's predecessor.

- To compare 'Cost of Test' using 'parallel by four' of a 'parallel by two' format.

The performance of the new generation ITS9000CV of Schlumberger will be assessed at the IC manufacturing facilities of SGS-Thomson in Rousset, France. To lower IC production costs it is the aim of the project to demonstrate cost of IC test reduction by a factor of two. Production batches of different ICs will be run and test costs will be compared between the ITS9000CV and the previous generation testing equipment of the same supplier.
The evaluations will be done using two high volume products; one, a mixed function microcontroller, the other, a pure digital device.
