  • Publication number: 20100070211
    Abstract: A system and method for performing dynamic in-line testing of semiconductor devices sequentially tests a plurality of semiconductor devices. Test data associated with a predetermined number of semiconductor devices of the sequentially tested semiconductor devices is stored in a data structure. After test data corresponding to a predetermined number of semiconductor devices is stored in the data structure, the following steps are iteratively performed. Statistics concerning the selected devices are calculated using the associated test data. A device that fails to meet a precision setting based on the statistics is marked as an outlier device. Test data stored in the data structure corresponding to an earliest tested semiconductor device in sequence is evicted from the data structure. Test data associated with the next passing tested semiconductor device in sequence is stored in the data structure.
