Abstract: A chip-testing method, which allows Large-Scale-Integrated circuit (LSI) logic chips to be tested on wafer without necessitating expensive equipment involving high-precision step-and-repeat mechanisms, and which further allows chips to be tested individually in the connected-on-module environment. The circuit configuration and method are applicable to the testing of LSI-logic chips which may comprise various circuit structures including latches and combinatorial networks in many combinations and which may be fabricated in any circuit technology.The basic idea is to configure the chips and wafers in such a way that the LSSD provisions already incorporated in the chips can be utilized also for the on-wafer and on-module testing. The arrangements, which can be made with a "cut-away", or "deactivate" or an "extend-usage" approach, include five major extensions in the chip-image design.
