The present invention is directed to a method and system for testing a plurality of integrated circuits. According to one embodiment of the invention, a method and system for testing a plurality of integrated circuits using a probe card having a plurality of circuit sites is provided. First, a group of the plurality of integrated circuits is registered with the probe card and a first-pass test is performed in parallel on each registered integrated circuit in the group using a first number of signal channels for each circuit site. A particular one of the integrated circuits in the group which passed the first-pass tests then selectively registered with a particular one of the circuit sites, and a second-pass test is performed on the particular one integrated circuit using a second number of signal channels greater than the first number. In this manner, the use of test system resources may be optimized with expensive second-pass tests (e.g., performance tests) only being performed on circuits passing less-expensive first-pass tests (e.g., BIST and scan tests). |
