Test Cost Modeling for 3D Stacked Chips with Through-Silicon Vias

Sengupta, Breeta LU ; Ingelsson, Urban and Larsson, Erik LU orcid (2011) Swedish System-on-Chip Conference, SSoCC 2011
Abstract
In this paper we have proposed a test cost model for

core-based 3D Stacked ICs (SICs) connected by Through Silicon

Vias (TSVs). Unlike in the case of non-stacked chips, where the

test flow is well defined by applying the same test schedule both

at wafer sort and at package test, the most cost-efficient test

flow for 3D TSV-SICs is yet undefined. Therefore, analysing the

various alternatives of test flow, we present a cost model with

the optimal test flow. In the test flow alternatives, we analyse the

effect of all possible moments of testing for a 3D TSV-SIC, viz.,

wafer sort, intermediate test and package test. For the optimal

test flow, we have... (More)

yield and test time parameters, which further support our claim. (Less)
