D ire predictions about the soaring cost of semiconductor test are all too familiar. Two factors primarily drive this cost: the number of test patterns applied to each chip and the time it takes to run each pattern. For example, typical semiconductor testing for each chip involves a set of 1,000 to 5,000 test patterns—sets of input values and their associated (expected) output values. These tes...
