摘要:
A system includes an automated place and route tool to generate a layout of an integrated circuit (IC) die based on a gate level circuit description. A machine readable persistent storage medium includes a first portion encoded with a first gate-level description of first and second circuit patterns to be formed on first and second IC dies, respectively, and a second portion encoded with a second gate level description of the plurality of circuit patterns received from the tool. The second gate level description includes power and ground ports, and the first gate level description does not include power and ground ports. A processor-implemented verification module is provided for comparing the first and second gate level descriptions and outputting an error report if the second gate level description has an error. The verification module outputs a verified second gate-level description of the first and second circuit patterns.

A system and method is disclosed for functional verification of multi-die 3D ICs. The system and method include a reusable verification environment for testing each die in a stack of dies individually without having to simultaneously operate all of the dies in the stack. The system and method includes converting an input/output (“IO”) trace from a die verification test from a first format to a second format to improve performance.

A system and method is disclosed for functional verification and/or simulation of dies in a multi-die 3D ICs. The system and method include converting an I/O trace, embodied as a Value Change Dump, to one or more Universal Verification Methodology objects. This conversion aids in identify and fixing issues contained in die.

An interposer of a package system includes a first probe pad disposed adjacent to a first surface of the interposer. A second probe pad is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. A first bump of a first dimension is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. The first bump is electrically coupled with the first probe pad. A second bump of the first dimension is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. The second bump is electrically coupled with the second probe pad. The second bump is electrically coupled with the first bump through a redistribution layer (RDL) of the interposer.
摘要:
A testing probe structure for wafer level testing semiconductor IC packaged devices under test (DUT). The structure includes a substrate, through substrate vias, a bump array formed on a first surface of the substrate for engaging a probe card, and at least one probing unit on a second surface of the substrate. The probing unit includes a conductive probe pad formed on one surface of the substrate and at least one microbump interconnected to the pad. The pads are electrically coupled to the bump array through the vias. Some embodiments include a plurality of microbumps associated with the pad which are configured to engage a mating array of microbumps on the DUT. In some embodiments, the DUT may be probed by applying test signals from a probe card through the bump and microbump arrays without direct probing of the DUT microbumps.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for testing a stack of dies and inserting a repair circuit which, when enabled, compensates for a delay defect in the die stack, particularly where the defect is located in the inter-die data transfer path. Intra-die and inter-die slack values are determined to establish which die or dies in the die stack would benefit from the insertion of a repair circuit.
