REPORTING

iRoC Technologies offers standard and detailed reporting. For detailed reporting, extra fees may apply, since it requires additional analysis.
There are three files in the reporting:

  • raw data in the form of CSV file
  • excel spreadsheet including: Test execution Logbook, Failure in Time (FIT) results and cross sections.
  • written report (.pdf)

[2] Item delivered is requested by customer. Must appear in test plan is such case
[3] Item is delivered by default if report type is requested


Reporting Format

All test conditions related items are reported the same way, that is:
One graphic for each event type (SEU, MBU, SEL, SEFI)
Integration of all chip instances into a given graphic
Y-Axis always represents the FIT per Mbit value, or the cross section for test at multi energy beam facilities or alpha particle testing.
A continuous or discreet X-Axis reflecting the possible test condition values


Other examples of data reporting are detailed below:
Physical Bitmaps
The physical bitmap item reflects the error distribution at physical level resulting from the test. Such analysis allows designers to check error consistency from a device architecture point of view.
Physical mapping is proposed for all events. It can be displayed for one sort of event, of for all of them. The report offers up to five bitmaps.

Figures below shows the bitmap for all events compounded:

Physical Bitmap

MCU Patterns
The MCU patterns can be analyzed.
Statistics are provided for each MCU size in order to see what the topology of MCU at physical level is.
Only significant patterns are reported in any case. Marginal events (generally representing less than 2% of cases) are reported as one event.

The following picture gives an example of such analysis
