Stimulus Induced Fault Testing

SIFT - FA Instruments (FA Instruments)

SIFT allows for the analysis of numerous stimuli to identify speed, fault, and parametric differences in silicon. The heart of the SIFT technique revolves around intentionally disturbing devices with external stimuli and comparing the test criteria to reference parts or timing/voltage sensitivities. Synchronous interfacing is possible to any tester without any wiring or program changes. The system can be based on either a motorized probe station or portable microscope stand for test head applications.
