We propose an embedded processor-based built-in self-repair (BISR) design for embedded memories. In the proposed design we reuse the embedded processor that can be found on almost...
In this paper, we give an overview of the trade-off to improve yield and optimize silicon manufacturing cost. The specific technology focus is on large embedded memories in comple...
Testing embedded memories is becoming an industry-wide concern with the advent of deep-submicron technology and system-on-chip applications. We present a prototype chip for a progr...
This paper summarizes advanced test patterns designed to target dynamic and time-related faults caused by new defect mechanisms in deep-submicron memory technologies. Such tests a...
In this paper, we propose a new transparent built-in self-test ( TBIST ) method to test multiple embedded memory arrays with various sizes in parallel. First, a new transparent tes...
