Abstract: An apparatus for performing scan test of IC chip includes a shift-frequency searching unit that searches usable shift frequency for a target scan section among at least one scan section each including whole or part of at least one scan pattern inputted to a scan path. When searching usable shift frequency for the target scan section, the shift-frequency searching unit scales shift frequency of the target scan section differently from that of at least one scan section among scan sections shifted before or after the target scan section or sets shift frequency of the target scan section differently from that of the at least one scan section among the scan sections shifted before or after the target scan section, and searches shift frequency with which result of the scan test indicates pass or shift frequency with which result of the scan test indicates fail.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing a scan test of IC chip includes a shift-frequency searching unit that executes first scan test for first scan pattern whole or part of which constituting first scan section and second scan test for second scan pattern whole or part of which constituting second scan section, and searches usable shift frequency for the second scan section. The first scan pattern is scan pattern inputted to scan path right before the second scan pattern. The shift-frequency searching unit shifts the first scan section to the scan path with first shift frequency in the first scan test, shifts the second scan section to the scan path with second shift frequency in the second scan test, and determines, when both results of the first scan test and the second scan test indicate pass, the second shift frequency as the usable shift frequency for the second scan section.
