Speech Title: Power-Aware LSI Testing: Present and Future

Abstract: With low power consumption becoming a key requirement for advanced LSI designs, the gap between functional power and test power has kept growing to such an extent that power-aware testing has now become a must. The foundation of power-aware testing is a complete understanding of the global impact of switching activity on peak and average power as well as the local impact of switching activity on IR-drop-induced delay increase along data and clock paths. This talk presents a holistic view on various aspects of power-aware testing, aimed at helping researchers and engineers to develop more sophisticated and complete solutions for controlling LSI test power.

Biography: Xiaoqing WEN received the B.E. degree from Tsinghua University, China, in 1986, the M.E. degree from Hiroshima University, Japan, in 1990, and the Ph.D. degree from Osaka University, Japan, in 1993. He was an Assistant Professor at Akita University, Japan, from1993 to 1997, and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA, from Oct. 1995 to Mar. 1996. He joined SynTest Technologies Inc., USA, in 1998, and served as its Vice President and Chief Technology Officer until 2003. He joined Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, in 2003, where he is currently a Professor with the Department of Computer Science and Networks. He is a Co-Founder and Co-Chair of Technical Activity Committee on Power-Aware Testing under Test Technology Technical Council (TTTC) of IEEE Computer Society. He has served as Associate Editors for IEEE Trans. on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD), IEEE Trans. on Very Large Scale Integration Systems (TVLSI), and Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications (JETTA). He co-authored and co-edited the widely adopted VLSI test textbook “VLSI Test Principles and Architectures: Design for Testability” in 2006 and the first comprehansive book on power-aware VLSI testing “Power-Aware Testing and Test Strategies for Low Power Devices” in 2009. His research interests include design, test, and diagnosis of VLSI circuits. He has published more than 356 papers and holds 43 U.S. patents & 14 Japan patents. He received the 2008 Society Best Paper Award from IEICE-ISS. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a World’s Top 2% Scientist for his career-long impact.
