  • Patent number: 6029260
    Abstract: When defective bits of a memory are remedied, the disclosed memory analyzing apparatus can execute remedy analysis of a large capacity memory freely and effectively in a short time. Data are transferred from a defect cell memory (3) provided for a memory tester body (1) to a remedy analyzing apparatus (2) in the sequence suitable for defect remedy. The transferred data are regenerated in address sequence, and the numbers of the defective bits are counted and stored in an X line defect memory (26) and a Y line defect memory (27) at the same time. Further, a line detect flag is raised on the basis of the number of detective bits in the same row and the same column. Further, with respect to the defective bits of a line other than the defect line, the addresses thereof are stored in the bit defect memory (35), and the number of the defect bits is stored in a unit region defect number memory (33) for each defect remedy unit region.
