Recent and continuing trends in the semiconductor industry pose challenges to IC test-data volumes, test application times, and test costs. The industry has thus far succeeded in containing test costs ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...

Automobiles are increasingly more like electronic devices than mechanical platforms. As a share of the total cost of a car, electronics components have grown from about 5% in 1970 to 35% in 2010.

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

Many ASTM standards encompass the determination of the flash point of petroleum and petroleum products. ASTM D 93A is a key technique for the specification of diesel and aviation turbine fuels. First, ...

The 2026 Volume 101 marks a new Era following the Century Edition of the AATCC Manual of International Test Methods and Procedures and will be available starting January 1, 2026. Containing three new ...
