Yield-enhancement tool protects IP
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 8/1/2007
SecureXY, a yield-enhancement tool from Teseda, enables the sharing and analysis of failure information in the physical domain without compromising intellectual property (IP). SecureXY works in conjunction with ScanXY, the first tool in the company’s Diagnostic Manager Suite. ScanXY takes scan failure information and design information and presents failure data in a physical die view showing failing scan cells, failing scan chains, and x-y location data.
SecureXY is able to take the ScanXY data and present it as an x-y view while protecting sensitive design IP information. The design IP is protected at varying levels that can be selected by the design creators.
Base price: Diagnostic Manager tools—$20,000. Teseda, www.teseda.com.
