在IC工业界,经常要决定各种对产品和生产这些产品的厂商产生重大影响的目标。定这些目标的人包括:设计,工艺技术,电性能测试,可靠性和故障分析等方面的负责人。而产品的最终价格很大程度上取决于这些目标能否在其有效周期内及早达到。 ICs的复杂性仍以爆炸性的速度增长。一个新芯片的价格、质量及推向市场的时间与它的设计特性、可测 In the IC industry, it is often necessary to decide on the various goals that have a significant impact on the products and the manufacturers that make them. Those who set these goals include: Design, Process Technology, Electrical Performance Testing, Reliability and Failure Analysis. And the final price of the product depends largely on whether these goals can be achieved as early as within their effective life cycle. The complexity of ICs is still growing at an explosive rate. The price, quality and time-to-market of a new chip with its design features are measurable
