The Design for Testability (DFT)
The Design for Testability (DFT) course begins with semiconductor manufacturing fundamentals and core fault modelling, covering essential concepts like stuck-at, transition, and delay faults. Students progress through scan design and flip-flop architecture, learning the practical RTL-to-netlist insertion flow and ATPG pattern generation.
The curriculum then tackles advanced industry topics such as scan compression, JTAG boundary scan, and memory testing using specific MBIST algorithms like March C. Finally, the program addresses complex SoC challenges, including power-aware DFT, automotive functional safety under ISO 26262, and real-world debug techniques for broken scan chains.
