[0031] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, it is a flow chart of the chip testing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a chip testing system, and the method includes the following steps: performing performance evaluation and analysis on the chip after initial activation to obtain a first evaluation and analysis result of the chip, comparing and analyzing the first evaluation and analysis result of the chip with the corresponding preset first evaluation and analysis threshold of the chip to obtain a first performance comparison and analysis result of the chip, and judging whether to perform an aging test or repair on the chip according to the first performance comparison and analysis result of the chip; performing stability analysis and evaluation on the chip undergoing the aging test to obtain a second evaluation and analysis result of the chip, comparing and analyzing the second evaluation and analysis result of the chip with the corresponding preset second evaluation and analysis threshold of the chip to obtain a second performance comparison and analysis result of the chip, and judging whether to perform an aging test or repair on the chip according to the second performance comparison and analysis result of the chip; performing comprehensive test analysis and evaluation on the chip to obtain a third evaluation and analysis result of the chip, comparing and analyzing the third evaluation and analysis result of the chip with the corresponding preset third evaluation and analysis threshold of the chip, and judging whether to determine the chip aging test result level according to the third performance comparison and analysis result of the chip.

[0033] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the first evaluation and analysis result of the chip is as follows: collecting chip performance parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip after the initial activation through electronic measuring instruments, and extracting the chip performance standard parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip from the dynamic random access memory chip database; obtaining the first evaluation and analysis result of the chip by analyzing and evaluating the chip performance parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip after the initial activation and the chip performance standard parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip; the first evaluation and analysis result of the chip is the chip activation performance negative evaluation index, and the chip activation performance negative evaluation index is used to represent the basic performance level of the chip after the dynamic random access memory chip is activated.

[0034] In this embodiment, the electronic measuring instrument includes a frequency meter, a signal generator, a logic analyzer and an oscilloscope;

[0035] The negative evaluation index of chip activation performance is obtained through analysis. The specific analysis formula is as follows:

[0039] Indicates The tRAS value of the dynamic random access memory chip of each chip activation performance monitoring point, in nanoseconds; Indicates The DRAM chip preset standard tRAS value of each chip activation performance monitoring point is in nanoseconds.

[0040] tRAS (Row Active Time): It indicates the time from the start of a new read / write operation of the chip memory to the start of the next same read / write operation, that is, the time from the start of a chip memory request to the start of the next request, including the chip memory row activation time and the chip memory row recovery time.

[0041] Indicates The tRCD value of the dynamic random access memory chip of each chip activation performance monitoring point, in nanoseconds; Indicates The DRAM chip preset standard tRCD value of each chip activation performance monitoring point is in nanoseconds.

[0042] tRCD (Row to Column Delay): Indicates how long it takes to read or write data after a memory row of the chip memory is activated, that is, the time interval from chip memory row activation to chip memory column selection.

[0043] Indicates The tRP value of the dynamic random access memory chip for each chip activation performance monitoring point, in nanoseconds; Indicates The DRAM chip preset standard tRP value of each chip activation performance monitoring point is in nanoseconds.

[0044] tRP (Row Precharge Time): Indicates the time required for the chip memory to end a read / write operation and set the row to an invalid state, that is, the time between the chip memory ending the current read / write operation and starting a new read / write operation.

[0045] Through memory testing programs or professional memory testing tools, such as memtest86+ software, a series of tests can be performed on the chip memory, and the measurement results of various chip parameters including tRAS, tRCD and tRP can be provided; or the chip output waveform can be analyzed through a logic analyzer to obtain the measurement results of various chip parameters including tRAS, tRCD and tRP.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the negative evaluation index function of chip activation performance provided in an embodiment of the present application; if the tRP value of the dynamic random access memory chip is used as the dependent variable, if the negative evaluation index of chip activation performance is used as the independent variable;

[0048] Among them, the function curve middle, ,express and , function curve Indicates when and Schematic diagram of the negative evaluation exponential function curve of the chip activation performance at .

[0051] As can be seen from the figure, when The value of is the same as When the values ​​are different, The larger the value, that is, the larger the preset standard tRP value of the dynamic random access memory chip, which means that the preset standard tRP value of the dynamic random access memory chip is set more loosely, the slower the growth trend of the chip activation performance negative evaluation index is, and the smaller the chip activation performance negative evaluation index corresponding to the same dynamic random access memory chip tRP value is.

[0052] As can be seen from the figure, when The value of is the same as When the values ​​are different, The larger the value is, the higher the relative ratio of the dynamic random access memory chip tRAS value and the dynamic random access memory chip tRCD value to the corresponding preset values, that is, the lower the degree to which the dynamic random access memory chip tRAS value and the dynamic random access memory chip tRCD value meet the corresponding preset values, the larger the starting value of the chip activation performance negative evaluation index is, and the larger the chip activation performance negative evaluation index corresponding to the same dynamic random access memory chip tRP value is.

[0053] Comprehensively evaluate and analyze the above parameters. When the performance parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip meet or even exceed the corresponding performance parameter requirements, the negative evaluation index of the chip activation performance is smaller. Conversely, when the performance parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip do not meet or are far less than the corresponding performance parameter requirements, the negative evaluation index of the chip activation performance is larger. The performance parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip will fluctuate during the initial activation of the chip and the subsequent aging process, but can still be used as quantitative evaluation indicators for subsequent judgment of the chip performance level.

[0054] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the first chip performance comparison analysis result is: if the chip first evaluation analysis result is greater than the preset chip first evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be a defective product and the defective product is returned for repair; if the chip first evaluation analysis result is not greater than the preset chip first evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be a qualified product and the qualified product is subjected to aging test.

[0055] In this embodiment, the dynamic random access memory chip can be aged after being activated. The preset chip first evaluation and analysis threshold is a preset threshold obtained from a database.

[0056] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the second evaluation and analysis result of the chip is as follows: collecting chip performance parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip after the aging test through an electronic measuring instrument, and extracting the chip aging test performance standard parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip from the dynamic random access memory chip database; obtaining the chip aging stability negative evaluation integral value at different chip aging stability timing time points by analyzing and evaluating the chip performance parameters after the aging test of the dynamic random access memory chip and the chip aging test performance standard parameters of the dynamic random access memory chip; obtaining the second evaluation and analysis result of the chip according to the chip aging stability negative evaluation integral value; the second evaluation and analysis result of the chip is the chip aging stability evaluation index; the chip aging stability evaluation index is used to indicate the chip performance stability level during the aging process of the dynamic random access memory chip; the chip aging stability negative evaluation integral value is used to indicate the chip performance negative impact level during the aging process of the dynamic random access memory chip.

[0057] In this embodiment, in the early stage of aging of the dynamic random access memory chip, the internal structure of the chip is not yet stable, and the fluctuation index value is relatively high, which is regarded as a high-speed change phenomenon inside the dynamic random access memory chip;

[0058] When the internal structure of the dynamic random access memory chip tends to be stable, its chip aging stability evaluation index will be equal to 0 or close to 0; the chip aging stability evaluation index is obtained through an analysis formula, and the specific analysis formula is as follows:

[0059] ;

[0060] ;

[0061] Set the chip aging stability timing time points, and number the chip aging stability timing time points in sequence. Indicates the chip aging stability timing time point in minutes.

[0062] Indicates the number of the chip aging stability timing time point, , Indicates the total number of chip aging stability timing time points.

[0063] Indicates Chip aging stability timing time point, Indicates Chip aging stability timing time point, Indicates A chip aging stability timing time point.

[0064] Set chip aging stability monitoring points and number them in sequence. Indicates the number of the chip aging stability monitoring point, , Indicates the total number of chip aging stability monitoring points. The chip aging stability monitoring points are monitoring points of different storage areas or different storage particles in the dynamic random access memory chip.

[0065] Indicates The chip aging stability timing time point is The chip aging stability negative evaluation integral value between the chip aging stability timing time points.

[0066] Indicates The chip aging stability evaluation index at each chip aging stability timing time point.

[0067] Indicates the upper limit of the preset chip aging stability integral range.

[0068] Indicates The tCL value of the dynamic random access memory chip at each chip aging stability monitoring point, in nanoseconds.

[0069] Indicates tSU-D value of the dynamic random access memory chip for each chip activation performance monitoring point, in nanoseconds.

[0070] Indicates tWR value of the DRAM chip with each chip activating a performance monitoring point, in nanoseconds.

[0071] Indicates tDRT value of the dynamic random access memory chip when the chip activates the performance monitoring point, in nanoseconds. Indicates The DRAM chip preset standard tDRT value of each chip activation performance monitoring point is in nanoseconds.

[0072] tCL (Column Latency) refers to the time from column selection to data transmission completion of a dynamic random access memory chip, that is, the column access time.

[0073] tSU-D (Data Setup Time before Deassertion of OE) data setup time refers to the time it takes to stabilize the data in the internal circuit of the chip before writing data into the dynamic random access memory chip, by pulling down the chip's output enable signal (OE) to a level that prohibits outputting data, and then pulling up the OE signal after the new data on the data line is stable.

[0074] tWR (Write Recovery Time): Indicates how long it takes for the dynamic random access memory chip to be ready to receive the next write operation after writing data.

[0075] tDRT (Data Retention Time): Indicates the time that data is retained in the dynamic random access memory chip after the memory power is turned off.

[0076] Automated test equipment (ATE) can be used to test dynamic random access memory chips and obtain performance parameters including tCL, tSU-D, tWR, and tDRT.

[0077] When a dynamic random access memory chip is aged, its internal performance parameters fluctuate greatly. After a period of time, its internal structure becomes stable. If only the instantaneous value of its internal performance is judged, it is easy to misjudge the actual state of the chip's aging stability. The comprehensive negative performance integral level within two adjacent chip aging stability timing time points should be evaluated to make the aging stability evaluation of the dynamic random access memory chip more accurate.

[0078] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the chip second performance comparison analysis result is as follows: if the chip second performance comparison analysis result is greater than the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be a defective product, the corresponding chip is continued to be aged, and after the unqualified chip is aged for a preset observation time, the chip second performance comparison analysis result is compared with the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold again; if the corresponding chip second performance comparison analysis result is still greater than the corresponding preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be a defective product, and the defective product is returned for repair; if the chip second performance comparison analysis result is not greater than the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be a qualified and stable product; the qualified and stable chip is continued to be aged, and the chip second performance comparison analysis result is compared with the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold again at each chip aging stability timing time point within the preset observation time of qualified chip aging. If the corresponding chip second performance comparison analysis result at each chip aging stability timing time point within the preset observation time of qualified chip aging is still not greater than the corresponding preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be a first-level qualified stable product, and the aging test is stopped; if the corresponding chip second performance comparison analysis result at any chip aging stability timing time point within the preset observation time of qualified chip aging is greater than the corresponding preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be an unqualified aging product, and the aging test is continued; after the unqualified chip has aged for the preset observation time, the chip second performance comparison analysis result and the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold are compared and analyzed on the unqualified aging product again. If the corresponding chip second performance comparison analysis result is still greater than the corresponding preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the corresponding chip is judged to be an unqualified product, and the unqualified product is returned for repair.

[0079] In this embodiment, the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the preset aging observation time of unqualified chips, and the preset aging observation time of qualified chips can all be obtained from the database.

[0080] In a specific real-time example, the natural aging time of a dynamic random access memory chip enters the stable operation period after 3-6 months. If the memory accelerated aging technology equivalent to 30-50 times is used, a 3-6-day aging test can achieve a 3-6-month natural aging effect, and the preset observation time for qualified chip aging can be set to 3 days.

[0081] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the third chip evaluation analysis result is: comprehensively analyzing the first chip performance comparison analysis result and the second chip performance comparison analysis result through an analysis formula to obtain the third chip evaluation analysis result. The specific analysis formula is as follows:

[0082] ;

[0083] Indicates the comprehensive fluctuation index of chip aging, which is the result of the third chip evaluation analysis; Indicates The chip aging stability evaluation index at each chip aging stability timing time point; Represents the negative evaluation index of chip activation performance; represents a natural constant, is the preset chip aging stability evaluation index weight factor obtained from the database, is the preset chip activation performance negative evaluation index weight factor obtained from the database, , Indicates the number of the chip aging stability timing time point, , Indicates the total number of chip aging stability timing time points.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, a mapping set is established through the relationship between the chip aging stability evaluation index and the chip aging comprehensive volatility index in the historical index data, and the real-time chip activation performance negative evaluation index is input into the pre-set mapping set to obtain the corresponding chip aging stability evaluation index weight factor.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, a mapping set is established through the relationship between the chip activation performance negative evaluation index and the chip aging comprehensive fluctuation index in the historical index data, and the real-time chip activation performance negative evaluation index is input into the pre-set mapping set to obtain the corresponding chip activation performance negative evaluation index weight factor.

[0086] The chip aging comprehensive fluctuation index data example table is shown in Table 1.

[0087] Table 1 Example of chip aging comprehensive fluctuation index data

[0088]

[0089] The chip aging stability evaluation index in Table 1 is a single example value at the chip aging stability timing time point. According to the different preset chip first evaluation analysis thresholds in practice, if the chip activation performance negative evaluation index fails to pass the comparative analysis with the corresponding preset chip first evaluation analysis threshold, the chip aging stability evaluation index cannot be further evaluated. When the chip aging stability evaluation index passes the comparative analysis with the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold in practice, the corresponding chip can be judged as a qualified product. However, according to the actual business standard setting, by adjusting the preset weight factor, the final chip aging comprehensive fluctuation index and the preset chip third evaluation analysis threshold comparative analysis results are in line with the expected business classification requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of dynamic random access memory chip aging test classification.

[0090] Furthermore, the specific process of determining the chip aging test result level according to the chip third performance comparison analysis result is as follows: the repaired chip is subjected to performance evaluation analysis and stability analysis again after the repair, and the corresponding chip first evaluation analysis result and chip second evaluation analysis result are obtained. If the chip first evaluation analysis result is greater than the preset chip first evaluation analysis threshold or the chip second evaluation analysis result is greater than the preset chip second evaluation analysis threshold, the chip aging test result level of the corresponding chip is set to defective product; a first-level qualified and stable product is subjected to comprehensive test analysis and evaluation. If the chip third evaluation analysis result of the first-level qualified and stable product is greater than the corresponding preset chip third evaluation analysis threshold, the chip aging test result level of the corresponding chip is still set to the first-level qualified and stable product; if the chip third evaluation analysis result of the first-level qualified and stable product is not greater than the corresponding preset chip third evaluation analysis threshold, the chip aging test result level of the corresponding chip is set to the second-level qualified and stable product.

[0091] In summary, the specific process of obtaining the chip aging test result hierarchy is also the chip aging test quality grading method. By comparing the evaluation analysis at three different levels with the corresponding preset evaluation thresholds, it is helpful to discover potential quality problems at an early stage, so as to take measures to repair or eliminate them. At the same time, the chips can be accurately divided into different levels. According to actual business requirements, the corresponding preset thresholds can be adjusted to better control the quality and classification of products. The re-grading of qualified products makes the first-level qualified and stable products and the second-level qualified and stable products applicable to a wider range of businesses. Through multi-dimensional performance analysis, the stability and reliability of product quality are ensured, while improving production efficiency and market competitiveness.
