Defects such as bonding misalignment, micro-voids and contact defects at the copper surface, can affect the electrical characteristics and the life time of 3D-IC considerably. In this paper, we propose two complementary test and characterization structures dedicated to high density 3D-IC interconnects. The first test structure permits to measure the misalignment defect with a great accuracy and the second to measure the RC delay of a periodic signal applied to a daisy chain composed of 3D Cu-Cu interconnects. The measured misalignment values and propagation delays allows to detect Cu-Cu full open, misalignment, and micro-voids, in order to assess performance of high density 3D Integrated Circuit. Both test structures are implemented as BIST engines, which are integrated and controlled with IEEE 1687, for an overall negligible area cost.","PeriodicalId":223459,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd European Test Symposium (ETS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121533370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the tests provide thorough testing of the cells, the interconnects between them are tested only as input and output lines of cells. This paper defines cell-based faults that allow the interconnects to be tested more thoroughly within a uniform framework that only targets input patterns of cells. In contrast to a real cell that is part of the design, a dummy cell is used for defining interconnect-aware faults. Using a gate-level description of the circuit, a dummy cell contains an interconnect, an output gate of the real cell that drives it, and an input gate of the real cell that it drives. Experimental results for benchmark circuits show that many of the interconnect-aware faults are not detected accidentally by gate-exhaustive tests, and that the quality of the test set is improved by targeting interconnect-aware faults. Here, quality is measured by the numbers of detections of single stuck-at faults in a gate-level representation of the circuit.","PeriodicalId":223459,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd European Test Symposium (ETS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132710558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fault-tolerance of this routing fabric has also been studied and a design technique for implementing a fault-tolerant crossbar has been proposed. However, prior work leads to a significant increase in fabric size and a decrease in cell-analysis performance. We address the above drawbacks and introduce a low-overhead design technique for achieving fault-tolerance, while maintaining the efficiency of the cell-analysis platform. We show that the proposed method is optimal in that it minimizes the overhead in terms of fabric size. We also show that the new design outperforms the previous solution in terms of cell-analysis performance.","PeriodicalId":223459,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd European Test Symposium (ETS)","volume":"253 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115596650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adding coverage monitors to a design consumes a significant amount of chip area. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are commonly deployed as a rapid prototyping platform to accelerate the validation of digital designs, and though they share same visibility challenges as post-silicon, recent work have proposed the use of overlays to improve debug effectiveness.
