Abstract:
Ce travail concerne l'étude et la réalisation de stratégies d'auto-test intégrées pour VCO radiofréquence (RF). La complexité des circuits intégrés RF devient un obstacle pour la mesure des principaux blocs RF des chaines de transmission/réception. Certains nœuds ne sont pas accessibles, l'excursion en tension des signaux baisse et les signaux haute fréquence ne peuvent pas être amenés à l'extérieur de la puce sans une forte dégradation. Le s techniques habituelles de test deviennent très couteuses et lentes. Le test pour le wafer-sort est étudié en premier. La solution proposée est la mise en œuvre d'une stratégie d'auto-test intégrée (BIST) qui puisse discriminer entre circuits sans fautes et circuits avec fautes pendant le wafer-test. La méthodologie utilisée est le test structurel. La couverture des fautes est étudiée pour connaitre la quantité à capter au niveau intégré afin de maximiser la probabilité de trouver tous les défauts physiques dans le VCO. Le résultat de cette analyse montre que la couverture des fautes est maximisée quand la tension crête-crête en sortie du VCO est captée. La caractérisation complète (validation de la puce et process-monitoring) du VCO est étudiée dans la deuxième étape. Les informations à extraire de la puce sont: amplitude des signaux, consommation du VCO, fréquence d'oscillation, gain de conversion (Kvco) et une information à propos du bruit de phase. Un démonstrateur pour le test au niveau wafer est réalisé en technologie ST CMOS 65nm. Le démonstrateur est composé d'un VCO 3.5GHz (le circuit sous test), un LDO, une référence de tension indépendante de température et variations d'alimentation, un capteur de tension crête-crête et un comparateur. Le capteur Vpp donne en sortie une information DC qui est comparée avec une plage de valeurs acceptables. Le BIST donne en sortie une information numérique pass/fail<br>This work deals with the study and the realization of Built-In Self-Tests (BIST) for RF VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) The increasing complexity of RF integrated circuits is creating an obstacle for the correct measurement of the main RF blocks of any transceiver. Some nodes are not accessible, the voltage excursion of the signals is getting lower and lower and high frequency signals cannot be driven off the die without a main degradation. The common test techniques become then very expensive and time consuming. The wafer sort is firstly approached. The proposed solution is the implementation of a BIST strategy able to discriminate between faulty and good circuits during the wafer test. The chosen methodology is the structural test (fault-oriented). A fault coverage campaign is carried out in order to find the quantity to monitor on-chip that maximizes the probability to find all possible physical defects in the VCO. The result of the analysis reveals that the fault coverage is maximized if the peak-to-peak output voltage is monitored. The complete on-chip characterization of the VCO is then addressed, for chip validation and process monitoring. The information that need to be extracted on-chip concern: amplitude of the signal, consumption of the VCO, frequency of oscillation, its conversion gain (voltage-to-frequency) and eventually some information on the phase noise. A silicon demonstrator for wafer sort purposes is implemented using the ST CMOS 65nm process. It includes a 3.5GHz VCO, an LDO, a temperature and supply-voltage independent voltage reference, a peak-to-peak voltage detector and a comparator. The Vpp detector outputs a DC-voltage that is compared to a predefined acceptance boundary. A logic pass/fail signal is output by the BIST. The attention is then turned to the study of the proposed architecture for an on-chip frequency-meter able to measure the RF frequency with high accuracy. Behavioral simulations using VHDL-AMS lead to the conclusion that a TDC (Time-to-Digital Converter) is the best solution for our goal. The road is then opened to the measure of long-time jitter making use of the same TDC

Abstract:
Les technologies silicium récentes sont particulièrement prônes aux imperfections durant la fabrication des circuits. La variation des procédés peut entrainer une dégradation des performances, notamment aux hautes fréquences. Dans cette thèse, plusieurs contributions visant la réduction des coûts et de la complexité du test des circuits millimétriques sont présentées. Dans ce sens, deux sujets principaux ont fait l'objet de notre attention : a) le test indirect non-intrusif basé sur l’apprentissage automatique et b) la calibration non-itérative "one-shot". Nous avons en particulier développé une méthode générique pour implémenter un test indirect non-intrusif basé sur l’apprentissage automatique. La méthode vise à être aussi automatisée que possible de façon à pouvoir être appliquée à pratiquement n'importe quel circuit millimétrique. Elle exploite les modèles Monte Carlo du design kit et des informations de variations du BEOL pour proposer un jeu de capteurs non-intrusifs. Des mesures à basses fréquences permettent ensuite d'extraire des signatures qui contiennent des données pertinentes concernant la qualité des procédés de fabrication, et donc a fortiori de la performance du circuit. Cette méthode est supportée par des résultats expérimentaux sur des PAs fonctionnant à 65 GHz, conçus dans une technologie 55 nm de STMicroelectronics. Pour s'attaquer plus encore à la dégradation des performances induite par les variations des procédés de fabrication, nous nous sommes également penchés sur une procédure de calibration non-itérative. Nous avons ainsi présenté un PA à deux étages qui peut être calibré en post-fabrication. La méthode de calibration exploite une cellule de découplage variable comme moyen de modifier les performances de l'amplificateur. Des moniteurs de variations des procédés de fabrication, placés dans les espaces vides du circuit, sont utilisés afin de prédire la meilleure configuration possible pour les cellules de découplage variables. La faisabilité et les performances de cette approche ont été validés en simulation<br>Recent silicon technologies are especially prone to imperfections during the fabrication of the circuits. Process variations can induce a noticeable performance shift, especially for high frequency devices. In this thesis we present several contributions to tackle the cost and complexity associated with testing mm-wave ICs. In this sense, we have focused on two main topics: a) non-intrusive machine learning indirect test and b) one-shot calibration. We have in particular developed a generic method to implement a non-intrusive machine learning indirect test based on process variation sensors. The method is aimed at being as automated as possible and can be applied to virtually any mm-wave circuit. It leverages the Monte Carlo models of the design kit and the BEOL variability information to propose a set of non-intrusive sensors. Low frequency measurements can be performed on these sensors to extract signatures that provide relevant information about the process quality, and consequently about the device performance. The method is supported by experimental results in a set of 65 GHz PAs designed in a 55 nm technology from STMicroelectronics. To further tackle the performance degradation induced by process variations, we have also focused on the implementation of a one-shot calibration procedure. In this line, we have presented a two-stage 60 GHz PA with one-shot calibration capability. The proposed calibration takes advantage of a novel tuning knob, implemented as a variable decoupling cell. Non-intrusive process monitors, placed within the empty spaces of the circuit, are used for predicting the best tuning knob configuration based on a machine learning regression model. The feasibility and performance of the proposed calibration strategy have been validated in simulation

Abstract:
The expanding wireless market has resulted in complex integrated transceivers that involve RF, analog and mixed-signal circuits, resulting in expensive and complicated testing. The most important challenges that test engineering faces today are (1) providing a fast and accurate fault-diagnosis and performance characterization so as to accelerate the time-to-market and (2) providing an inexpensive test strategy that can be integrated with the design so as to aid the high-volume manufacturing process. The first part of the research focuses on the design of an RMS detector for built-in-self-test (BIST) of an RF integrated transceiver that can directly provide information at various test points in the design. A cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) has been chosen as the device under test (DUT). A compact (< 0.031 mm2) RF RMS detector with negligible input capacitance (< 13 fF) has been implemented in 0.35 µm CMOS technology along with the DUT. Experimental results are currently being assimilated and compared with the simulation results. Frequency limitations were encountered during the testing process due to unexpected increase in the value of the N-well resistors. All other problems faced during the testing, as well as the results obtained so far, are presented in this thesis. In the second part of the research, the use of the RMS detector for BIST has been extended to a continuous-time high-frequency boost-filter. The proposed HF RMS detector has been implemented along with a 24 dB 350 MHz boost filter as the DUT on 0.35 µm CMOS technology. The HF RMS detector occupies 0.07 mm2 and has an input capacitance of 7 fF. The HF RMS detector has a dynamic range greater than 24 dB starting from -38 dBm of input power. The bandwidth and boost of the filter have been accurately estimated in simulation using the HF RMS detector. The sensitivity of an intermediate band pass node of the filter has also been monitored to predict the filter's sensitivity to Q errors. The final part of the research describes the design of a single-ended to differential converter for use in a broadband transceiver operating from 50-850 MHz. This circuit is used as the second stage in the transceiver after the LNA. The design has been simulated on a 0.35 um CMOS process and has a power consumption of 13.5 mW and less than 8 dB of noise figure over the entire band. It is capable of driving a 500fF load with less than 1dB of gain ripple over the entire band (50-850 MHz).

Abstract:
Le secteur de communications sécurisés et portables connait une véritable révolution avec l’apparition des plateformes dites radios logiciels (Software Defined Radios, SDRs). Les performances exceptionnelles de ces systèmes sont les résultats d’une interaction assez complexe et souvent peu évidente entre le logiciel embarqué, le circuit de traitement numérique et les blocs mixtes analogiques/RF. Cette complexité limite la testabilité du produit fini. La méthodologie de test utilisée actuellement a atteint ses limites dues au cout élevé, le long temps de test et le bas degré de généralisation. De plus, les plateformes SDRs peuvent évoluer sur le terrain et elles vont supporter des standards et des scénarios qui n’ont pas été considérés pendant le la phase de conception. Donc, une stratégie de test sur le terrain (en ligne) n’est plus une caractéristique optionnelle mais une nécessité. Dans ce contexte, le but de notre recherche est d’inventer et développer une méthodologie de test capable de garantir le bon fonctionnement d’une plateforme SDR après la production et pendant sa vie. Notre objectif final est de réduire le coût du test en profitant de la reconfigurabilité de la plateforme. Pour les radios tactiques qui doivent être mises à jour sur le terrain sans équipement spécial, les stratégies Built-In Self-Test (BIST) sont, sans doute, la seule moyenne de garantir la conformité aux spécifications. Dans cette mémoire, nous introduisons une nouvelle architecture de test RF BIST qui utilise la technique de de sous-échantillonnage nonuniform à la sortie de l’émetteur (TX) d’une SDR afin d’évaluer la conformité de la masque spectrale. Notre solution s’appuie sur une implémentation autonome, est modulable et peut être appliquée pour le test sur le terrain avec des modifications minimes. Par rapport aux autres techniques de test analogiques/RF, cet approche ne dépends pas de la architecture du TX, ni d’un modèle ad-hoc, ce qui est idéale pour le test des SDRs<br>The advent of increasingly powerful Integrated Circuits (IC) has led to the emergence of the Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept, which brought the sector of secured mobile communications into a new era. The outstanding performance of these systems results from optimal trade-offs among advanced analog/Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry, high-speed reconfigurable digital hardware and sophisticated real-time software. The inherent sophistication of such platforms poses a challenging problem for product testing. Currently deployed industrial test strategies face rising obstacles due to the costlier RF test equipment, longer test time and lack of flexibility. Moreover, an SDR platform is field-upgradeable, which means it will support standards and scenarii not considered during the design phase. Therefore, an in-field test strategy is not anymore 'a nice to have' feature but a mandatory requirement. In this context, our research aims to invent and develop a new test methodology able to guarantee the correct functioning of the SDR platform post-fabrication and over its operational lifetime. The overall aim of our efforts is to reduce post-manufacture test cost of SDR transceivers by leveraging the reconfigurability of the platform.For tactical radio units that must be field-upgradeable without specialized equipment, Built-in Self-Test (BIST) schemes are arguably the only way to ensure continued compliance to specifications. In this study we introduce a novel RF BIST architecture which uses Periodically Nonuniform Sampling (PNS2) of the transmitter (TX) output to evaluate compliance to spectral mask specifications. Our solution supports a stand-alone implementation, is scalable across a wide set of complex specifications and can be easily applied for in-field testing with small added hardware. Compared to existing analog/RF test techniques, this approach is not limited to a given TX architecture and does not rely on an ad-hoc TX model, which makes it ideal for SDR testing
