Test Cost Modeling for 3D Stacked Chips with Through-Silicon Vias
(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) - In this paper we have proposed a test cost model for

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