MEMORY TEST SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TESTING MEMORY DEVICE
A memory test system may include a tester and N memory devices, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The tester may generate test signals. A K-th memory device of the N memory devices includes a plurality of K-th memory banks and a K-th decoder, where K is each positive integer equal to or smaller than N. The K-th memory banks may be configured to operate based on first internal signals and each of the K-th memory banks includes a plurality of unit blocks. The K-th decoder may be configured to convert the test signals corresponding to the first test to the first internal signals based on a K-th conversion relation and update the K-th conversion relation based on a result of the first test with respect to the K-th memory device.
Marker pattern for enhanced failure analysis resolution
A marker pattern for enhancing resolution of a defect location along an axis in semiconductor defect analysis, and in particular, a marker pattern providing greater resolution in locating bit line defects using thermal laser stimulation methods such as OBIRCH. In an example, the marker pattern may consist of large markers, each having a set of associated small markers. Each of the small markers may be offset along an axis from each other. By identifying the small marker and its associated large marker which align with the defect, the bit line containing the defect may be more easily identified.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING MEMORY
A system is provided. The system comprises test devices, a transport device and a data processing device. The test devices perform tests different from each other to a memory device and output test results of the tests. The transport device transports the memory device to the test devices and comprises a first storage device.
