The reliability testing side of the memorizer of the specific embodiment of the invention is described in detail in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiment
Method.
Perform step S1, memorizer is carried out the first test, it is judged that the first test result of memorizer whether
More than or equal to the first criterion.Memorizer described herein can be with flash memory, read only memory
As a example by (Read-Only Memory, ROM).
Owing to memory reliability method of testing purpose of the present invention is to improve the essence of data retention test
Degree, and the data that data retention refers to memorizer storage do not have distortion after a while or lose
The ability that mistake can also effectively read.In actual application, keep feelings with the data of data in memorizer " 1 "
Condition judges the data retention of memorizer.
Therefore, correspondingly, described the first test carrying out memorizer refers to read memorizer
Operation, judges the read current that " 1 " data of storage in memorizer are corresponding is the most up to specification.
In particular it is required that first write " 1 " data in memorizer, afterwards " 1 " data in memorizer are carried out
Read, it is thus achieved that read current, described read current is the first test result.
The described step judging whether the first test result of memorizer is more than or equal to the first criterion
In, described first criterion refers to the first read current threshold value.First read current of the present invention
Threshold value is more than the read current threshold value of the first test in the method for testing reliability of prior art memory, i.e.
The present invention improves criterion in the first test.Such as, in prior art, read current threshold value is
15 μ A, and during the present invention first tests, the first read current threshold value is 17 μ A.
Perform step S2, if the first test result of memorizer is more than or equal to described first criterion,
Described memorizer is arranged the first mark.Specifically, if memorizer first test in first reading
Electric current is more than or equal to described first read current threshold value, then described memorizer carries out the first mark, institute
State the first mark for showing that memorizer test result in the first test (reads more than or equal to first
Current threshold).Such as, the described memorizer the first read current in the first test is 18 μ A, is more than
The first read current threshold value of described 17 μ A, carries out the first mark the most in memory.
The form of the first mark is not limited by the present invention, and the present embodiment is with in the sector of test memorizer
The data instance of write labeled.Such as, in the sector of memorizer, " 55 " or the letter of " AA " are write
Breath.Otherwise memorizer can also be carried out the first mark, as long as can obtain in subsequent step S7
Take described first to identify.
Perform step S3, if the first test result of memorizer is less than described first criterion, to institute
State memorizer and the second mark is set.Specifically, if memorizer first test in the first read current
Less than described first read current threshold value, then described memorizer is carried out the second mark, described second mark
For showing memorizer test result (less than the first read current threshold value) in the first test.Such as,
The described memorizer the first read current in the first test is 14.5 μ A, less than the first of described 17 μ A
Read current threshold value, carries out the second mark the most in memory.
The present embodiment second identifies to write the data instance of described labeled the most in memory.The present invention
The form of the second mark is not limited, as long as described second mark is different, rear with the first mark
First mark and the second mark can be made a distinction by continuous step S7.
So far complete the first test process to memorizer, the present invention memorizer is completed the first test it
After, it is not as prior art and equally memorizer is carried out any eliminating (being judged to difference product), but to storage
The Different Results of device the first test is identified, in case the result of follow-up combination the second test is to memorizer
Data retention is analyzed.
Perform step S4, described memorizer is carried out burin-in process.Described burin-in process is to deposit to simulate
Reservoir carries out the process of life-time service, specifically, described in the present embodiment, described memorizer is carried out aging place
The step of reason includes: make memorizer continue 72 hours under the temperature conditions of 250 DEG C, in such a way
Analog memory uses the situation of 10 years under conditions of 25 DEG C (room temperature).But the present embodiment is to aging
The condition processed does not limits.
Perform step S5, the memorizer through burin-in process is carried out the second test, it is judged that the of memorizer
Whether one test result is more than or equal to the second criterion, and described second criterion is less than described first
Criterion.The second test herein carried out memorizer refers to carry out the memorizer after burin-in process
Whether read operation, accord with the read current that " 1 " data of storage in the memorizer after burin-in process are corresponding
Close specification to judge.
Owing to being written with the data of " 1 " the most in memory, if right in this step
In memorizer after burin-in process, " 1 " data read, it is thus achieved that read current, this time obtain
Read current is the second test result.
The described step judging whether the second test result of memorizer is more than or equal to the second criterion
In, described second criterion refers to the second read current threshold value.Second read current of the present invention
Threshold value is (existing with the read current threshold value of the second test in the method for testing reliability of prior art memory
In technology, the first test is identical with the read current threshold value in the second test) identical.Such as, prior art
During middle read current threshold value is 15 μ A, and the present invention second tests, the second read current threshold value is 15 μ A.
It should be noted that the present invention is to the first criterion, the second criterion and prior art first
The relation between criterion in test the second test does not limits, and for the present invention, first sentences
Disconnected standard is more than the second criterion, and the most in the present embodiment, described first read current threshold value is big
In described second read current threshold value.
Perform step S6, if the second test result of memorizer is more than or equal to described second criterion,
The most described memorizer is non-defective unit.If during memorizer is tested second, read current is read still above second
Go out current threshold, illustrate that memorizer first is tested and the read current of the corresponding data " 1 " in the second test
The biggest, the most described memorizer has preferable data retention, enters with the characteristic of data retention
It is non-defective unit that row evaluates described memorizer.Such as: memorizer read current in the first test is that 18 μ A(are big
In 17 μ A), the read current in the second test is that 16 μ A(are more than 15 μ A), this memorizer is first
In test and the second test, the gap of read current is only 2 μ A, and described memorizer is after burin-in process
Data variation is little, has good data retention.
Perform step S7, if the second test result of memorizer is less than described second criterion, it is judged that
The identity type of described memorizer, if described memorizer is provided that the first mark, the most described memorizer
For difference product;If described memorizer is provided that the second mark, the most described memorizer are non-defective unit.
When the read current obtained in memorizer second is tested is less than the second current threshold, it is judged that memorizer
Identity type.Identity type described herein includes the first mark and the second mark, it is judged that the mark of memorizer
The step knowing type is to be designated the first mark or the process of the second mark described in judgement.
Specifically, if being provided that the first mark on described memorizer, represent that this memorizer is surveyed first
The read current obtained during examination is greater than the first current threshold, and the reading of this memorizer in the second test
Go out electric current and be less than the second current threshold, owing to the first current threshold is more than the second current threshold, represent described
Memorizer read current variable quantity before burin-in process and after burin-in process is more than the first current threshold and the
The difference of two current thresholds, say, that in described memorizer, " 1 " data of storage have occurred and that bigger
Change, judge that described memorizer is undesirable with data retention characteristic, for difference product.Such as: deposit
Reservoir read current in the first test is that 18 μ A(are more than 17 μ A), the reading electricity in the second test
Stream is that 14 μ A(are less than 15 μ A), this memorizer is the gap of read current in the first test and the second test
Being 4 μ A, described memorizer data variation after burin-in process is relatively big, has poor data and keeps
Power.
If on the contrary, be provided that the second mark on described memorizer, illustrate that this memorizer is surveyed first
Read current during examination is less than the first current threshold, and the read current when the second test is less than the second electric current
Threshold value, illustrates that the read current of twice test of described memorizer is little, and described memorizer simply has relatively
Low saturation current.Therefore judge that described memorizer, can be at it as non-defective unit with data retention characteristic
In his reliability testing, whether saturation current to memorizer meets design specification and tests.Such as:
Memorizer read current in the first test is that 16 μ A(are less than 17 μ A), the reading in the second test
Electric current is that 14 μ A(are less than 15 μ A), this memorizer is the difference of read current in the first test and the second test
Away from for 2 μ A, described memorizer data variation after burin-in process is little, and data retention meets and sets
Meter specification.
If it should be noted that differed between the first read current threshold value with the second read current threshold value
Greatly, the requirement that can make paired data retentivity is too low, and cannot judge the poor product that data retention is poor;
If the difference between the first read current threshold value and the second read current threshold value is too small, the most still it is difficult to differentiate
The poor product of data retention and there is relatively low saturation current product.It is preferred that described first reads
The ratio going out current threshold and the second read current threshold value is positioned in the range of 1.1 ~ 1.2.Such as, described
One read current threshold value is 17 μ A, and described second read current threshold value is 15 μ A.
In the present embodiment, due in step s 2, to write the data of labeled in the sector of memorizer
As the first mark, to write the data of described labeled the most in memory as the second mark, therefore,
Correspondingly, judge described in this step that the step of the identity type of described memorizer includes: from the fan of memorizer
Data are read, it may be judged whether the data of described labeled can be read in district.Such as, fan accordingly from memorizer
If the read out " 55 " or " AA " in district, then it represents that what described memorizer was arranged identifies for first, if
From respective sectors, do not read " 55 " or " AA ", then it represents that what described memorizer was arranged identifies for second,
Thus complete the judgement of identity type in memorizer.The present invention is to the first mark, the form of the second mark
Do not limit, correspondingly, to how performing to judge that the step of the identity type of described memorizer does not limits
System, the identity type of the described memorizer of described judgement is as the criterion can differentiate described first mark and the second mark.
The present invention can correspondingly be revised according to above-described embodiment, deforms and replace by those skilled in the art.
It should be noted that in above-described embodiment, the first criterion and the second criterion are with memorizer
Read current as a example by illustrate, but the invention is not limited in this regard, in other embodiments institute
Stating criterion and can also is that voltage represents the reading information of memorizer, those skilled in the art can basis
The present invention is correspondingly revised, deforms and replaces by above-described embodiment.
