Problems solved by technology

At present, the research on 3D system chip test optimization mainly focuses on obtaining the optimal test time or test scheduling. For example, Pradhan analyzed how the stacking order of wafers affects the test time of the entire stacked 3D system chip, and proposed the optimal stacking order. Obtained Algorithms for minimum test time; LAnderegg, S Eidenbenz et al. proposed a 3D SoC die-level test enclosure and test structure suitable for pre-bond testing and post-bonding testing. This method is very practical, but it does not consider the test scheduling problem

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip testing, in particular to a 3D system on chip (3D System on Chip, 3DSOC) testing resource optimization method and system. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of semiconductor industry manufacturing technology has laid a solid foundation for more complex high-speed chip manufacturing. The three-dimensional system chip manufacturing centered on vertical silicon vias (TSV) is a very promising chip manufacturing technology. It has obvious advantages in increasing the interconnection density, reducing the length of the interconnection line, reducing the size of the package, and reducing power consumption. Vertical through-silicon via (TSV) is an interconnection via vertically passing through a silicon substrate filled with conductive materials, which shortens the length of interconnection lines between wafers on two three-dimensional chips, and is mostly used for functional interconnection. ...
