摘要： A method of memory BIST (Built-In Self Test) and memory repair that stores a redundancy calculation on-chip, as opposed to scanning this data off-chip for later use. This method no longer requires level-sensitive scan design (LSSD) scanning of memory redundancy data off-chip to the tester, and therefore does not require re-contacting of the chip for electrical fuse blow.

摘要： A method and circuit for a self timed DRAM. The circuit includes interlock circuits coupled to an extension of the DRAM. The extension does not store “real” data but mimics the operations of the DRAM. The interlock circuits, in conjunction with the extension monitor and control read and write timings of the DRAM and self adjust these timings via feedback. To properly track DRAM cell timings, the interlock circuits and extension use the same cell design and load conditions as the DRAM. The method includes: activating a wordline and reference wordline, interlocking the sense amplifiers, column select and write back functions of the primary DRAM array by monitoring the identical reference cells and the state of the bitline in the extension DRAM array.

摘要： Disclosed is a hybrid built-in self test (BIST) architecture for embedded memory arrays that segments BIST functionality into remote lower-speed executable instructions and local higher-speed executable instructions. A standalone BIST logic controller operates at a lower frequency and communicates with a plurality of embedded memory arrays using a BIST instruction set. A block of higher-speed test logic is incorporated into each embedded memory array under test and locally processes BIST instructions received from the standalone BIST logic controller at a higher frequency. The higher-speed test logic includes a multiplier for increasing the frequency of the BIST instructions from the lower frequency to the higher frequency. The standalone BIST logic controller enables a plurality of higher-speed test logic structures in a plurality of embedded memory arrays.

摘要： Wafer test and burn-in is accomplished with state machine or programmable test engines located on the wafer being tested. Each test engine requires less than 10 connections and each test engine can be connected to a plurality of chips, such as a row or a column of chips on the wafer. Thus, the number of pads of the wafer that must be connected for test is substantially reduced while a large degree of parallel testing is still provided. The test engines also permit on-wafer allocation of redundancy in parallel so that failing chips can be repaired after burn-in is complete. In addition, the programmable test engines can have their code altered so test programs can be modified to account for new information after the wafer has been fabricated. The test engines are used during burn-in to provide high frequency write signals to DRAM arrays that provide a higher effective voltage to the arrays, lowering the time required for burn-in. Connections to the wafer and between test engines and chips are provided along a membrane attached to the wafer. Membrane connectors can be formed or opened after the membrane is connected to the wafer so shorted chips can be disconnected. Preferably the membrane remains on the wafer after test, burn-in and dicing to provide a chip scale package. Thus, the very high cost of TCE matched materials, such as glass ceramic contactors, for wafer burn-in is avoided while providing benefit beyond test and burn-in for packaging.
摘要翻译： 晶圆测试和老化是通过位于被测晶片上的状态机或可编程测试引擎完成的。 每个测试引擎需要少于10个连接，并且每个测试引擎可以连接到多个芯片，例如晶片上的行或一列芯片。 因此，仍然提供必须连接用于测试的晶片的焊盘数量，同时还提供大量的并行测试。 测试引擎还允许并行的片上分配冗余，以便在老化完成后可以修复故障的芯片。 此外，可编程测试引擎可以对其代码进行更改，因此可以修改测试程序以在晶圆制造之后考虑新的信息。 在老化期间使用测试引擎向DRAM阵列提供高频写入信号，为阵列提供更高的有效电压，从而降低老化所需的时间。 沿着连接到晶片的膜提供与晶片和测试引擎与芯片之间的连接。 膜连接器可以在膜连接到晶片之后形成或打开，因此短路芯片可以断开。 优选地，膜在测试之后保留在晶片上，老化和切割以提供芯片级封装。 因此，避免了TCE匹配材料（例如玻璃陶瓷接触器）用于晶片老化的非常高的成本，同时提供超出测试和包装封装的优点。
