    摘要: A unit test signal having duration T is repeatedly supplied from an LSI tester to an IC under test and, simultaneously, a power source current is supplied from the LSI tester through a current detection unit to the IC under test. The power source current is monitored by the current detection unit and a current information obtained by the monitoring is analyzed by a spectrum analyzer unit. Since the repetition period of the test signal is T, the power source current having a period nT flows through the IC under test along with a state shift of the IC under test, where n is an integer. When the IC under test has a fault, the power source current flows with a period n′T, where n′ is an integer different from n, or an abnormal power source current flows with the period nT, due to a change of the state shift of the IC under test. A decision unit performs a fault decision of the IC under test by judging an existence of abnormal power source current or the change of the state shift of the IC under test on the basis of values of spectral power in the vicinity of a frequency 1/nT and high harmonics thereof of the power source current or existence or absence of peak having such period.

    摘要: A method of screening LSIs is provided, which makes it possible to screen out faulty LSIs before potential failure existing therein is elicited. A specific power supply voltage is supplied to LSIs to be tested while applying a specific test signal to the LSIs at a specific period. Power supply currents of the LSIs are observed. Sets of power spectrum data of the power supply currents are generated corresponding to the test signal. The distributions of the sets of power spectrum data are generated. whether or not the distributions of the sets of power spectrum data of the power supply currents are equal to or greater than a specific reference value is judged. When the distribution of the set of power spectrum data of the power supply current of one of the devices is equal is to or greater than the reference value, the device in question is regarded as a faulty one.
