New data-background sequences and their industrial evaluation for word-oriented random-access memories

Abstract: Abstract-This paper improves upon the state of the art in the testing of intraword coupling faults (CFs) in word-oriented memories. It first presents a complete set of fault models for intraword CFs. Then, it establishes the data background sequence and tests for each intraword CF, as well as a test with complete fault coverage of the targeted faults. All introduced tests will be evaluated industrially, together with the most well-known memory tests. The tests will be applied to big arrays with an interleaved … Show more

“…March SAM is designed to target intra-word coupling faults and faults due to the interference between I/O paths of a single word. But, the test also detect the majority of static faults [37]. This can explain its high FC.…”

“…March SAM [37] is developed to target intra-word coupling faults, which are coupling faults that take place between memory cells that belong to the same memory word, and faults due to the interference between I/O paths of the same word. March SAM requires the use of fx AD and special DBs that are different from the standard ones; see for more details [37].…”

“…These consist of four extra tests that are added, based on our experience in the field of memory testing, to detect some specific faults or some unmodeled/non-understood faults; they are given in the second bottom block of Table I. • March SAM [23] is developed to target intra-word coupling faults, which are coupling faults that take place between memory cells that belong to the same memory word, and faults due to the interference between I/O paths of the same word.

The same test used with other stresses (e.g., sDB) will not be able to detect such faults.…”
