By constructing a universal test circuit on a tester chip, and stacking the tester chip in an IC package together with operational circuit chips to be tested, the problems inherent with external IC testing are reduced. The tester chip can be standardized across a number of different chip combinations and, if desired, pre-programmed during manufacturing for a particular package. The tester chip interfaces to other chips in the stack advantageously are standardized. |
