Abstract :
This paper focuses on X-Y type in-circuit testers, which has two flying probes. The problem of finding the ordering of inspection points that minimizes the total time of inspection is an expansion of the travelling salesman problem (TSP). We formulate the problem of finding the minimum traveling cost of flying probes as the 0-1 integer programming, and an algorithm to solve this problem is proposed. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the method.
