Hi,
Can anyone help me on this?

What are the tests done after a chip has been manufactured ? (I mean here that the packaging has been done)

Re: Test Question

a previously known set of simulated inputs and outputs are tested for... one prime thing is that the working of each IC pin is tested....
 

Re: Test Question

There is a long list of tests in a manufacturing test. The general answer to your question is that devices must be screened for any defect occurring during the manufacturing process, as well as any intolerable variation in the process parameters.

In order to do that you have to have tests with good fault coverage (like ATPG for digital devices), some sort of at-speed testing (scan or functional), and measurement of all parametric specs (analog devices and I/Os). Some sort of current testing is also a good idea...

Test Question

I heard that alot of power test is done onces the chip is manufactured
well its very good question.... i will get you some more answers after talking to one of the know vendor
an-other things i heard is that even vibration and enviromental test was done for one of the defence and space client....
 

Re: Test Question

There are many tests. open circuit test , short circuit test , PLL & ADC characterization tests and functional test etc....
 

Test Question

That is a huger topic, firstly U finished all test patterns, fun and test.
And the coverage meet Ur requirement
 

Re: Test Question

These are some of the test that are done after packaging for Digital/MS devices:

1) Power supply short
2) Open/short for all the other pins.
3) Scan.
4) Analog tests
5) Memory BIST
6) Other BIST
7) Parametric

For purely analog chips:
1) Power supply short
2) Continuity
3) parametric

Hope that helps.
 

Test Question

suggest you read some books or materials on ic test, it is a big project including many items.
