Abstract

The invention provides an integrated circuit testing method, which comprises the steps of design index parameter determination, circuit diagram input, pre-simulation, layout design, layout verification and parasitic parameter extraction, post-simulation and tape-out. The integrated circuit testing method is characterized in that both the pre-simulation and the post-simulation use a transistor-level SPICE netlist, which can be converted to documents required for an automatic testing platform. The testing method provided by the invention can be used to greatly shorten the original test vector writing time for chip testing personnel, speed up the progress of the test, avoid understanding deviation between designers and testers and achieve seamless butting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integrated circuit testing method, in particular to an analog and digital-analog hybrid integrated circuit test. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of chip design level and the improvement of processing technology, the number of pins of a single chip is increasing, and the functions are becoming more and more complex. This poses a new problem for test engineers: facing such a chip with complex functions, how can we write a comprehensive and effective test pattern file that basically covers most of the functions of the chip? Moreover, after the writing is completed, the entry of the file will also be a cumbersome task. Therefore, there is an urgent need for methods to flexibly convert between electronic design automation (EDA) tools and automatic test equipment (ATE) platforms. [0003] VCD file is the abbreviation of Value Change Dump (Value Change Dump), which is the standard output fo...
