  • Abstract
    IC testing has evolved from the patterns established some years ago in the production of semiconductors. Since manual testing cannot meet the complex needs indigenous to IC manufacture, highly sophisticated instruments and test systems have developed that are automatically programmed by computer, tape, or printed-circuit card. This article focuses on many of the problems encountered and techniques employed, and also the requirements imposed on automatic IC testing systems.
