The test engineer’s task becomeseven more challenging as ICs are implemented in nanoscale technologies due to the host ofreliability issues that begin to arise.2Despite the critical importance of the test engineer, relatively few universities have introducedsemiconductor testing into their curriculum. Most test engineers report learning their craftthrough other means, such as on the job training from co-workers to even trial and error.3 It hasbeen estimated that about six months of training is typically required to bring a new hire up tospeed using
