Post Silicon Validation

Post Silicon Validation remains an important and integral part of highly complex multimillion gate design and silicon manufacturing process. Where Process nodes are shrinking towards making power efficient and high performance electronic devices , with increasing silicon design complexities and decreasing time-to-market windows, today’s verification approaches are incapable of fully validating a microprocessor before its release to the market for Public consumption . Post-silicon validation is necessary and essential to detect complex functional defects in addition to exposing electrical and manufacturing defects.
