    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing customer-transparent logic redundancy in scan chains for improved yield of integrated circuits. More specifically, an integrated circuit structure is provided for that includes a plurality of combined latch structures. Each of the combined latch structures includes an original latch and a redundant latch. The integrated circuit structure further includes a plurality of combined logic structures. Each of the combined logic structures includes an original logic structure a redundant logic structure. Each redundant latch is a duplicate of each respective original latch within a combined latch structure and each redundant logic structure is a duplicate of each respective original logic structure within a combined logic structure such that a two-fold library of latches and logic is provided for one or more scan chains of the integrated circuit structure.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes component devices (that include primary and alternate devices) and storage elements connected to the component devices. The storage elements store different sets of repair addresses indicating which of the primary devices and alternate devices are to be enabled. Further, a controller is connected to the storage elements, and a temperature sensor is connected to the controller. The temperature sensor senses the temperature. The controller selects one of the different storage elements to select at least one of the sets of repair addresses based on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor. The sets of repair addresses share use of at least one of the alternate devices and at least one of the primary devices.
