Design for Test
(DFT)

Engineering Silicon for Manufacturability, Testability, and Production Excellence

Our DFT services empower semiconductor products to achieve superior test coverage, streamlined manufacturing test, and enhanced defect detection. We architect and implement comprehensive test structures that enable reliable silicon testing throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.

Our engineers collaborate seamlessly across RTL, DFT, verification, and physical implementation teams to ensure testability requirements are embedded early in the design cycle and integrated efficiently into the broader SoC architecture.

DFT methodology

Testability designed for production confidence.

From architecture through manufacturing support, every test structure is shaped for coverage, reliability, and efficient silicon validation.

Testability by architecture

We embed DFT intent early, aligning scan, BIST, test access, and coverage goals with the broader SoC architecture.

Coverage with production focus

Our flows combine scan optimization, ATPG, compression, and rule checking to improve defect detection and manufacturing efficiency.

Confidence through closure

Verification, pattern validation, and manufacturing collateral provide a reliable path from test insertion to production readiness.
