发明名称 Method of testing a semiconductor structure
摘要 An integrated circuit (IC) comprises routing circuitry including a plurality of signal line segments in routing layers of the IC, and a plurality of micro-bump contacts coupled to the routing circuitry. The IC includes a plurality of test circuits coupled to respective subsets of the plurality of signal line segments. Each test circuit is configured to connect micro-bump contacts in the respective subset to form first and second sets of daisy chains. Each test circuit is configured to test the first and second sets of daisy chains for open circuits and test for short circuits between the first and second sets of daisy chains. Each test circuit is configured to determine the locations of detected open circuits and determine the locations of detected short circuits.

主权项 1. A semiconductor structure, comprising: an interposer that includes routing circuitry, the routing circuitry including a plurality of signal line segments in one or more routing layers of the semiconductor structure; a plurality of micro-bump contacts disposed on a surface of the interposer and coupled to the routing circuitry; wherein each line segment of the plurality of signal line segments connects a pair of the plurality of micro-bump contacts, respectively; and a plurality of test circuits stacked on the interposer, each test circuit coupled to a subset of the plurality of signal line segments via a respective subset of the micro-bump contacts, each test circuit configured to: switchably connect a first pair of micro-bump contacts in the respective subset of micro-bump contacts to at least a second pair of micro-bump contacts in the respective subset of micro-bump contacts to form a first set of daisy chains of the subset of signal line segments and dynamically connect a third pair of micro-bump contacts in the respective subset of micro-bump contacts to at least a fourth pair of micro-bump contacts in the respective subset of micro-bump contacts to form a second set of daisy chains of the subset of signal line segments;test for short circuits between the first set of daisy chains and the second set of daisy chains;test the first and second sets of daisy chains for open circuits;in response to detecting an open circuit in a daisy chain, determine a portion of the daisy chain in which the open circuit is located; andin response to detecting a short circuit between the first set of daisy chains and the second set of daisy chains, determine a location at which the first set of daisy chains is short circuited to the second set of daisy chains.
