✦ Synopsis


The use of E-beam equipment in VLSI validation has been stated repeatedly in the past. However, only recently, the necessity for a full integration between the CAD (Computer Aided Design) world and the E-Beam world has been felt. The next step is to completely automate the E-beam debugging procedure. This paper, after a draft description of an integrated E-beam debugging system, developed under Esprit Project 27i °, will present the strategies and the algorithms to achieve a fully automatic trouble-shooting procedure.
