Soft Test offers a training course which explains the concepts and techniques used in testing digital semiconductors. DC, AC and Functional tests are explained in detail and various test methods are discussed along with the advantage and disadvantage of each method. Device characterization, yield analysis, debug techniques, datalogs and shmoo plots are also explained in detail.

The course begins with an overview of the Semiconductor and ATE industry. ATE system architecture and functionality are explained along with the terminology used to describe semiconductor testing. Interpreting device specifications is emphasized and discussed along with each test procedure. Proper programming practices that insure test integrity, maximized throughput and safe reliable test sequences are taught throughout the course.

Test engineering is typically learned on the job by paring a junior engineer with a more experienced colleague. This consumes valuable resources and slows progress, but there is a better way. Now you can jump start your educational process and receive what has typically taken years of on the job training in just one week.
  

Design, Test and Product engineers, as well as Managers, Sales, Marketing and Field Service engineers have found this course to be an excellent investment.
  

The cost of the 5 day course, including the "Fundamentals of Digital Semiconductor Testing" reference manual and all class material is $1,500 per student. We offer training services at our facility on a regular basis, as well as on-site training.
