摘要:
A method and control device is used for testing electronic memory devices. The method comprises loading test data and/or instructions into a control logic circuit portion associated with a matrix array of memory cells and integrated storage circuitry. According to the invention, a test operation control device is used temporarily instead of the control logic, the test operation control device being external of and connected detachably to the memory device. Advantageously, the test operation control device is a matrix cell array external of the memory.

A memory controller can provide current to a heater in a flash memory to reduce cycling induced errors. If necessary, after heating, the memory may be refreshed. In non-battery powered systems, data may be removed from the memory prior to heating and restored to the memory after heating.

An interface board of a testing head for a test equipment of electronic devices is described. The testing head includes a plurality of contact probes, each contact probe having at least one contact tip suitable to abut against contact pads of a device to be tested, as well as a contact element for the connection with a board of the test equipment. Suitably, the interface board comprises a substrate and at least one redirecting die housed on a first surface of that substrate and a plurality of contact pins projecting from a second surface of that substrate opposed to the first surface. The redirecting die includes at least one semiconductor substrate whereon at least a first plurality of contact pads is realized, suitable to contact a contact element of a contact probe of the testing head, the contact pins being suitable to contact the board.

Embodiments for providing improved reliability or extended life for a non-volatile memory component may comprise a secondary non-volatile memory component to store error correction information, for example.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, and apparatuses related to multilevel encoding with error correction. In some embodiments, data may be programmed and/or read from a matrix of nonvolatile memory cells with concatenated encoding/decoding schemes. In some embodiments, a calculation module may determine an actual bit per cell value of a given combination of parameters of a nonvolatile memory device. Still other embodiments may be described and claimed.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing solder bumps for through vias in a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to each other. The method includes the steps of forming a blind hole extending in the substrate from the first surface for each via and filling each blind hole with a conductive filler; a deepest part of each filler includes a bump portion made of a solder material. The method further includes the step of removing a part of the substrate extending from the second surface to have at least the bump portions protrude from the substrate. The non-protruding part of each filler defines the corresponding via and the bump portion defines the corresponding bump.

An electronic system adapted to perform a corresponding function and including at least a first subsystem and a second subsystem, the first subsystem and the second subsystem being operatively couplable to each other through a plurality of electric connections to perform the function of the system, in which the first subsystem and the second subsystem are respectively integrated on a first material chip and on a second material chip, the plurality of electric connections including a plurality of conductive through holes formed in at least one of the first and second chips and adapted to form a corresponding plurality of inter-chip electric connections when the first and the second chips are superimposed.
摘要:
A memory array is divided, at the design stage, into a plurality of elementary sectors; depending on the specific application and the requirements of the user, the elementary sectors are grouped into composite sectors of desired size and number; a correlating unit memorizes the correlation between each composite sector and the elementary sectors; and, to address a composite sector, the relative address is supplied to the correlating unit which provides for addressing the elementary sectors associated with the addressed composite sector on the basis of the memorized correlation table.
摘要:
A method for writing cells in a memory which reduces errors caused by depleted memory array cells being turned on even when not selected. In the method, nonselected bit lines and nonselected word lines are biased so that the threshold voltage of the nonselected cells increases. In particular, the nonselected bit lines are left floating and the nonselected word lines are set to a zero voltage. Appropriate potentials are applied to the selected word line, selected bit line, and selected source line in order to program the selected cell.
