Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, since it is difficult for the probes of the testing machine to contact the electrode pads of all the dies on the wafer at the same time, it is necessary to test the semiconductor dies one by one.
As a result, the required test time is extremely long, and the cost is too high. It is impossible to complete a large number of tests in a short period of time, and even only a partial sampling test (sample test) can be done, so it is impossible to conduct a comprehensive test for all IC products.
In addition, since the semiconductor dies are tested one by one, the use efficiency of expensive testers is quite ineffective, which will reduce its cost-effectiveness, and at the same time cannot shorten the time required for the consistent process (Turn-around-time, TAT)

[0020] Each die is provided with a built-in aging pattern generating circuit, as long as a voltage source is provided to the die, an aging test pattern (aging pattern) can be generated for aging testing. Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B , which is a schematic diagram of the wafer according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Since there are a large number of dies with the same method on the wafer, for the sake of clarity, six dies with the same method are used here as a representative. Such as Figure 1A As shown in , the wafer 100 includes a first bare die 110 , a first aging pattern generation circuit 120 , electrode pads 130 and scribelines 140 .

[0021] The dicing line 140 is formed on the wafer 100 other than the first die 110 . That is, a dicing line 140 is left between any two adjacent dies on the wafer 100 as a gap for cutting between the dies. After the wafer 100 is diced, only the bare die remains.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to a wafer, and in particular to a wafer capable of performing burn-in and electrical tests and a method for implementing the same. 【Background technique】 [0002] Aging test is one of the important items of semiconductor integrated circuit test (Integrated Circuit Reliability, IC RA). Generally, aging is carried out after cutting (saw) and packaging (package) the die into a complete IC. test. The main purpose of the burn-in test is to screen out ICs with hidden defects from mass-produced semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) before shipment, and remove ICs that may have initial defects in advance to avoid shipment to the client. Generally speaking, the input signal is sent to the IC by using a tester or a pattern generator (Gen), and the burn-in test is performed at a high temperature at the same time. Then by viewing the display panel of the testing machine, it is possible to identify whether the IC is good or bad,...
