Improved IDDQ Testing With Empirical Linear Prediction

Abstract

A new linear prediction method that improves IDDQ test effectiveness is described. The method uses statistical pre-processing of exhaustive measurements on training devices to extract principal patterns in the device IDDQ behavior and to generate a prediction model. Fitting the model to device measurements accommodates variations in the fabrication process. Comparison with the Δ IDDQ test method using the SEMATECH S-121 data shows that for nearly equal numbers of defective parts passed, the new method fails fewer defect-free parts.
