Divide and conquer based Fast Shmoo algorithms

Abstract

Shmoo-plots are a powerful characterization technique in digital IC testing. Utilization and number of ICs exposed are limited by high execution times. This work presents an effective Fast-Shmoo algorithm to accelerate device characterization. The robust optimization concept is adapted to specific device characterization needs and reduce test execution times significantly.
