    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a method, system and computer program product for optimizing integrated circuit product yield by re-centering the manufacturing line and, optionally, adjusting wafer-level chip dispositioning rules based on the results of post-manufacture (e.g., wafer-level or module-level) performance path testing. In the embodiments, a correlation is made between in-line parameter measurements and performance measurements acquired during the post-manufacture performance path testing. Then, based on this correlation, the manufacturing line can be re-centered. Optionally, an additional correlation is made between performance measurements acquired during wafer-level performance testing and performance measurements acquired particularly during module-level performance path testing and, based on this additional correlation, adjustments can be made to the wafer-level chip dispositioning rules to further minimize yield loss.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a method, system and computer program for optimizing system yield based on the results of post-manufacture integrated circuit (IC) chip performance path testing. In these embodiments, a correlation is made between IC chip performance measurements, which were acquired from IC chips specifically during post-manufacture (i.e., wafer-level or module-level) performance path testing, and system performance measurements, which were acquired from systems that incorporate those IC chips previously subjected to performance path testing. Based on this correlation and a target system performance value, a post-manufacture (i.e., wafer-level or module-level) chip dispositioning rule can be adjusted to optimize system yield (i.e., to ensure that subsequently manufactured systems which incorporate the IC chip meet the target system performance value). Optionally, simulation of such processing can be performed during design of the IC chip for incorporation into the system in order establish the initial chip dispositioning rule in the first place.

    摘要: A system for enhancing the practicability of at-speed structural testing (ASST). In one embodiment, the system includes first means for performing statistical timing analysis on a design of logic circuitry. A second means performs a criticality analysis on the logic circuitry as a function of the statistical timing analysis so as to determine a criticality probability for each node of the logic circuitry. A third means selects nodes of the logic circuitry as a function of the criticality analysis. A fourth means selects timing paths as a function of the criticality probabilities of the selected nodes. A fifth means generates an ASST pattern for each of the selected timing paths. A sixth mean is provided to perform ASST on a fabricated instantiation of the design at functional speed using the generated ASST pattern.
