  • Publication number: 20050259478
    Abstract: Disclosed is a memory device including self-ID information. The memory device has a storage unit for storing information related to the memory device, such as a manufacturing factory, a manufacturing date, a wafer number, coordinates on a wafer and the like. Each bank of the memory device stores self-ID information related to the memory device and outputs the self-ID information out of a chip when an address is applied thereto during a test mode.
