摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for repairing memory chips (7) with redundant cell areas and fuses using microlithography means, characterized by the following method steps: a) photoresist is applied to at least one wafer (6) which is to be repaired; b) a mask (1) is created in line with the chip-specific fuse coordinates; and c) at least one wafer (6) provided with photoresist is exposed using an exposure means through the mask (1); and an arrangement for a method for repairing memory chips (7) with redundant cell areas and fuses using microlithography means, where the arrangement comprises an application unit for photoresist onto wafers (6) which are to be repaired, a controllable mask (1) and an exposure means (2).
摘要:
A method for testing semiconductor chips is disclosed. A chip to be tested has a test logic, at least one test mode is set in the form of a serial first bit string, the test modes are executed in the chip and test results or the status of the test modes are output from the chip in the form of a serial second bit string. The method includes at least one of the bit strings is provided with at least one binary check bit, the test logic being controlled by a check bit which is in a first logic state such that the bits of the bit string which follow the check bit are skipped until a check bit which is in the second logic state is detected by the test logic. The test logic is controlled by a check bit which is in the second logic state such that the bits of the bit string which follow the check bit are not skipped until a check bit which is in the first logic state is detected by the test logic.
摘要:
A method for on-chip testing of memory cells of a cell array of an integrated memory circuit includes writing different data patterns to memory cells and reading the different data patterns from the memory cells in order to test the memory cells. A basic data pattern is stored in a data word register and read out by applying a data control signal provided by a controller. In addition to the basic data pattern, at least one further data pattern, which differs from the basic data pattern and is stored in a data word register section, is accessed in a targeted manner through the use of the data control signal. As a result the test proceeds rapidly and yields extensive test information.
