摘要:
A fuse box including make-links and a redundancy address decoder including the fuse box are provided. It is preferable that the fuse box includes a plurality of make-links for programming an address of a defective normal memory cell with an address of a corresponding redundant memory cell, and the address is a row address or a column address. The redundant address decoder includes a fuse box having a plurality of make-links for decoding an address of a defect cell and a redundant word line selection circuit for selecting a word line of a redundant cell corresponding to the address of the defect cell in response to a signal output from the fuse box.

A laser link structure used in semiconductor devices and a fuse box using the laser link structure preferably include a plurality of first conductive line patterns positioned in parallel at predetermined intervals, and a second conductive line pattern broadly formed on the plurality of first conductive line patterns for forming hole regions which link the second conductive line pattern to the plurality of first conductive line patterns. Preferably, at least one hole region is formed on each of the plurality of first conductive line patterns, and via holes are formed in the hole regions.

Provided are a semiconductor device including a fuse focus detector, a fabrication method thereof and a laser repair method. In a chip region, fuses may be formed at a first level. A fuse focus detector including first and second conductive layers may be formed in a scribe line region. The first conductive layer may be formed at the first level, while the second conductive layer may be formed at a different level. For a laser repair method, a target region may be divided into sub-regions. In one selected sub-region, the fuse focus detector may be laser scanned in a direction for a reflection light measurement providing information on a thickness of the fuse focus detector. Using the thickness information, a focus offset value of a fuse in the selected sub-region may be calculated. When the focus offset value is within an allowable range, fuse cutting may be performed.

摘要:
An electrical testing method for a semiconductor package for detecting defects of sockets mounted on a device under test (DUT) board is provided. A tester performs electrical test, accumulates electrical test results, and compares the accumulated results to reference values. The result of the comparison decides whether a plurality of sockets mounted on the DUT board can be used or not. The decision results are transmitted to a handler so that the socket having the defects is not used on the DUT board.
摘要:
A method for testing semiconductor devices includes loading a customer tray with semiconductor devices to be tested. Groups of devices are transferred from the customer tray to buffer trays for testing. The number of devices in the customer tray is checked after each transfer. If the customer tray is empty, the number of semiconductor devices in the buffer trays is counted and compared with the number of semiconductor devices that can be tested simultaneously, typically either 64 or 128. If the number of semiconductor devices in the buffer trays is greater than the tester capacity, the semiconductor devices in at least one buffer tray are tested. If the number of semiconductor devices in the buffer trays is smaller than the tester capacity, semiconductor devices that were determined to be low quality in a prior test are loaded into a buffer tray, thus testing both untested and low quality devices together.
摘要:
A method and system for testing a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method provides an integrated test program defined by a plurality of test items, and a test program defined by a sub-set of the test items. Test data is derived by batch sample testing of the semiconductor device, and an error rate for a test item is computed and then compared to a reference data value. On the basis of the comparison between the error rate and the reference data value, the test program may be modified in real-time.
