Abstract
In Particle Physics, electronic systems are widely exploited to track and record collisions results: dedicated ASICs are used to read and analyse silicon sensors. The High Luminosity LHC phase requires the development of novel detectors for CMS Outer Tracker, able to perform real-time computations and to stand harsher conditions (-40°C, 100 Mrad of ionizing dose). The development stage of the three Front-End ASICs (MPA, SSA and CIC) is finalized and a successful verification phase will imply the large scale production. The limited manufacturing yield requires testing strategies to exclude defective units from being installed, guaranteeing their correct functionality. The aim of the thesis is to study and develop innovative procedures to replace the currently used functional tests, which present limited performances in terms of testing time, completeness and costs.
The concept of structural test is introduced for the first time for ASICs in the field of High Energy Physics and Design For Testability (DFT) techniques are studied for a novel testing approach
