In the production of memories, such as Dynamic Random Access Memories (DRAMs), it is necessary to test the memories.

The most common method for testing a Memory is Memory built-In Self Test (MBIST), which means that Test data of the Memory is not generated by an external tester (ATE), but is automatically generated by an internal Memory Test logic (logic chip), and the logic chip compares results.

With the foregoing drawings in mind, certain embodiments of the disclosure have been shown and described in more detail below. The drawings and written description are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosed concepts in any way, but rather to illustrate the disclosed concepts to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments.
Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
In the production of memories, such as Dynamic Random Access Memories (DRAMs), testing of the memories is required. When testing a memory, generally, test data of multi-bit bits are input into the memory, after a period of time, storage data is read from the memory, and the written test data and the read storage data are compared to judge which memory cells in the memory are abnormal. The most common method for testing a Memory is Memory built-In Self Test (MBIST), which means that Test data of the Memory is not generated by an external tester (ATE), but is automatically generated by an internal Memory Test logic (logic chip), and the logic chip compares results.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prior art MBIST circuit used in performing memory built-in self-tests. An MBIST circuit for use with memory built-in self-test includes an MBIST control circuit, an address vector generator, a test data generator, and a response analyzer. The MBIST control circuit is used for controlling data writing or data reading in the memory to be tested, the address vector generator is used for defining data writing positions, the test data generator is used for generating test data, and the response analyzer is used for comparing the read data with the written data.
The present disclosure provides a memory test repair circuit, a memory device, and a memory test repair method. The Memory test Repair circuit comprises an Error correction Code (ECC circuit for short), a Memory circuit (RAM for short) and a Built-In Self-Repair circuit (BISR circuit for short). The ECC circuit writes test data into the memory chip to be tested and reads out the stored data from the memory chip to be tested after preset time length, and when the stored data is inconsistent with the test data, the ECC circuit outputs address codes of inconsistent data. The storage circuit stores the address code of the inconsistent data output by the error checking and correcting circuit. The BISR circuit repairs the memory to be tested according to the address code of the inconsistent data.
When the memory test repair circuit provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is used for testing a memory, not only can the address of an abnormal memory cell (a memory cell causing inconsistency between write data and read data) be tested, but also the address code of the inconsistency between the write data and the read data can be stored, and the memory can be repaired. Therefore, the built-in self-test function of the memory is enriched, and the built-in self-test effect of the memory is improved.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a memory test repair circuit 10 for repairing a memory 20 to be tested, where the memory 20 to be tested includes at least one memory chip 21 to be tested, and fig. 2 shows that the memory 20 to be tested includes a plurality of memory chips 21 to be tested, but the number of the memory chips 21 to be tested in the memory 20 to be tested is not limited.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the memory 20 to be tested includes a plurality of memory chips 21 to be tested, which are stacked, and the stacking manner may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The memory test repair circuit 10 includes an error checking and correcting circuit (ECC circuit) 100, a memory circuit 200, and a built-in self-repair circuit (BISR circuit) 300. For clarity, the ECC circuit 100 is used to represent the error checking and correcting circuit 100, and the BISR circuit 300 is used to represent the built-in self-repairing circuit 300.
The output terminal of the ECC circuit 100 is connected to each of the memory chips 21 to be tested. The connection of the ECC circuit 100 to the memory chip 21 under test refers to a signal connection or may also include an electrical connection. The ECC circuit 100 is used to write test data into the memory chip 21 to be tested, and read out the memory data from the memory chip 21 to be tested after a preset time period. The ECC circuit 100 is further configured to output an address code of the inconsistent data when the stored data is inconsistent with the test data.
In a digital circuit, the smallest unit of data is "bit", also called data "bit", which is also the smallest unit in a memory, and it represents a data high level signal by "1" and a data low level signal by "0". In a digital circuit, generally 8 consecutive bits (data bits) constitute a byte (byte), and the test data written by the ECC circuit 100 into the memory chip 21 to be tested is data including at least one byte.
The test data is encoded by the ECC circuit 100 and written into the memory chip 21 to be tested. The ECC circuit 100 is also configured to write the check data generated by itself to the memory chip 21 under test at the same time, but the test data and the check data are written to the memory chip 21 under test at different locations. As shown in fig. 3(a), the Data to memory (test Data) and Check bits (Check Data, which may also be understood as Check bits) are written into the memory chip 21 to be tested. That is, the ECC circuit 100 encodes test data by adding check bits (i.e., check data) to data bits in the test data.
If the data bits in the test data are 8 bits, then 5 check bits need to be added for ECC error checking and correction. For each doubling of data bits, the ECC circuit 100 adds only one check bit during encoding of test data, that is, when the data bits in the test data are 16 bits, the additional check bits are 6 bits, when the data bits in the test data are 32 bits, the additional check bits are 7 bits, and when the data bits in the test data are 64 bits, the additional check bits are 8 bits. And so on, the added check bit is increased by only one bit when the data bit is doubled. When the ECC has more check bits, the fault-tolerant capability is stronger.
In addition, when the ECC circuit 100 writes test data into the memory chip 21 to be tested, the test data is written based on an address vector of the test data, which defines a memory bit to which the test data is to be written. Similarly, the parity bits have predetermined locations when written. Each memory bit has an address code. If a storage error occurs in a certain bit of the test data, the ECC circuit 100 will read out the storage data from the memory chip 21 to be tested after a preset time period, and will generate fail bit, which is different from the written test data. At this time, the ECC circuit 100 outputs an address code of the inconsistent data (i.e., the inconsistent data bit fail bit). Similarly, when the written check data does not match the read check data, the ECC circuit 100 outputs an address code of the mismatch data. The address code refers to the address code of the memory location where the inconsistent data is stored.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3(b), the memory circuit 200 is connected to the output terminal of the ECC circuit 100, and the memory circuit 200 is used for storing a Fail bit address (Fail bit address) of the inconsistent data output by the ECC circuit 100. When the ECC circuit 100 does not output the address code of the inconsistent data, the memory circuit 200 does not need to have a memory operation. The storage circuit 200 may automatically store the address code of the inconsistent data, or may complete the storage of the address code of the inconsistent data under the control of other circuits, such as the built-in self-test control circuit 500 described below.
The BISR circuit 300 is used for repairing the memory 20 according to the address code of the inconsistent data. The BISR circuit 300 includes a repair algorithm for determining whether a failed memory cell in the memory 20 under test is repairable and performing a logical repair by software. In an alternative embodiment, after receiving the address code of the inconsistent data, the BISR circuit 300 determines the failed memory location in the memory under test 20 according to the address code of the inconsistent data, and then starts the repair algorithm to determine whether the failed memory location is repairable, and if the failed memory location is repairable, the execution logic performs repair.
Thus, the memory test repair circuit 10 provided by the present embodiment includes the ECC circuit 100, the memory circuit 200, and the BISR circuit 300. The ECC circuit 100 is configured to output an address code of inconsistent data, which is a code of a storage bit in the memory chip 21 to be tested where a problem (i.e., a storage error) occurs. The storage circuit 200 is used for storing the address code of the inconsistent data, and the BISR circuit 300 is used for repairing the memory 20 to be tested according to the address code of the inconsistent data.
The memory test repair circuit 10 provided in this embodiment can not only detect the address of an abnormal memory cell (a memory cell causing inconsistency between write data and read data) when testing the memory, but also store the address code of the inconsistency between the write data and the read data, and repair the memory. Compared with the MBIST circuit used in the memory built-in self-test in the prior art, the memory test repair circuit 10 provided by the embodiment enriches at least the function of the memory built-in self-test, and improves the effect of the memory built-in self-test.
Referring to fig. 4, in yet another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the memory test repair circuit 10 is further described on the basis of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the memory test repair circuit 10 further includes a test Data writing circuit 400(Address/Data Generator), an output terminal of the test Data writing circuit 400 is connected to an input terminal of the ECC circuit 100, and is used for generating the test Data and an Address vector of the test Data. In an alternative embodiment, the Memory Test repair circuit 10 further includes a built-In Self-Test control circuit 500 (MBIST circuit), and the built-In Self-Test control circuit 500 is connected to the input terminal of the Test data writing circuit 400 and the output terminal of the Memory circuit 200. The built-in self-test control circuit 500 is used to control the test data write circuit 400 to generate address vectors of the test data and the test data, and address codes for reading the inconsistent data from the memory circuit 200.
A worker can control the testing of the memory device under test 20 by controlling the built-in self-test control circuit 500. For example, a test command may be issued from the tool to the built-in self-test control circuit 500 through the JTAG standard interface. After receiving the test command, the built-in self-test control circuit 500 controls the test data write circuit 400 to generate the test data and the address vector of the test data. When the address code of the inconsistent data is stored in the memory circuit 200, the built-in self-test control circuit 500 reads the address code of the inconsistent data from the memory circuit 200. The built-in self-test control circuit 500 then controls the BISR circuit 300 to repair the memory under test 20 according to the address code of the inconsistent data.
The BISR circuit 300 is connected to the built-in self-test control circuit 500 and connected to the memory chip under test 21 for repairing the memory under test 20 under the control of the built-in self-test control circuit 500. Specifically, the BISR circuit 300 is in signal connection with the built-in self-test control circuit 500, and can repair the memory 20 to be tested by using the address code of the inconsistent data.
The memory test repair circuit 10 provided in the present embodiment includes the ECC circuit 100, the memory circuit 200, the BISR circuit 300, the test data write circuit 400, and the built-in self-test control circuit 500. The ECC circuit 100 is configured to output an address code of inconsistent data, which is a code of a storage bit in the memory chip 21 to be tested where a problem (i.e., a storage error) occurs. The memory circuit 200 is used for storing the address code of the inconsistent data, and the built-in self-test control circuit 500 controls the BISR circuit 300 to repair the memory chip 21 to be tested having a problem in the memory 20 to be tested according to the address code of the inconsistent data. Therefore, the memory test repair circuit 10 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can not only confirm the abnormal storage bit, but also repair the chip and the memory where the abnormal storage bit is located, so that the memory test repair circuit has various functions, and the effect of built-in self test of the memory is improved.
Referring to fig. 5, the present disclosure provides another embodiment, and the memory test repair circuit 10 is further described on the basis of any one of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, each memory chip 21 to be tested is further provided with a parameter setting circuit 22, and the parameter setting circuit 22 is configured to set an operation parameter of the memory chip 21 to be tested. The parameter setting circuit 22 is, For example, a circuit having a dft (design For test) function For realizing a specific auxiliary design.
Correspondingly, the memory test repair circuit 10 further includes a chip parameter configuration circuit 600. The chip parameter configuration circuit 600 is connected to the parameter setting circuit 22, and is configured to input a parameter code (CMD code) to the parameter setting circuit 22, so that the parameter setting circuit 22 sets an operating parameter of the memory chip 21 according to the parameter code.
The parameter codes include parameter name codes for defining what the operating parameters of the memory chip 21 to be tested have and parameter value codes for defining the values of the operating parameters of the memory chip 21 to be tested. For example, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of parameter coding, in which P4 to P0 are used to define what the operating parameters of the memory chip 21 to be tested have, and D4 to D0 are used to define the values of the operating parameters of the memory chip 21 to be tested. The parametric code may also include a CLK clock that defines the frequency and time period of the parameter change. It should be noted that the parameter code is only valid when the memory chip 21 to be tested is in the high state. The length of the parameter coding may be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment is not limited. The parameter coding may be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment is not limited.

Referring to fig. 11, another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a memory test repair method, which is applied to the memory test repair circuit 10 provided in any one of the above embodiments.
The memory test repair method comprises the following steps:
s1101, the test data write circuit is controlled to input the test data and the address vector of the test data to the error check and correction circuit.
In a digital circuit, the smallest data unit is "bit", also called data "bit", which is also the smallest unit in a memory, and it represents a data high level signal by "1" and a data low level signal by "0". In a digital circuit, generally 8 consecutive bits (data bits) constitute one byte (byte), and the test data written by the ECC circuit 100 into the memory chip 21 to be tested is data including at least one byte.
The test data input from the test data writing circuit 400 to the ECC circuit 100 (i.e., the error checking and correcting circuit 100) is data including a plurality of bytes, and the address vector is used to locate the memory bit to which the data is to be stored.
Alternatively, after receiving the data write command, the built-in self-test control circuit 500 controls the test data write circuit to input the test data and the address vector of the test data to the ECC circuit 100.
And S1102, the error checking and correcting circuit writes the coded test data into a memory chip to be tested of the memory to be tested according to the address vector of the test data.
The test data is encoded by the ECC circuit 100 and written into the memory chip 21 to be tested.
The ECC circuit 100 is also configured to generate check data and write the check data to a specified storage bit in the memory chip 21 to be tested. The test data and the check data are written into the memory chip 21 to be tested at the same time, but the test data and the check data are written into the memory chip 21 to be tested at different positions. The Data to memory (test Data) and Check bits (Check Data, which may also be understood as Check bits) are written into the memory chip 21 to be tested. That is, the ECC circuit 100 encodes test data by adding check bits (i.e., check data) to data bits in the test data.
If the data bits in the test data are 8 bits, then 5 check bits need to be added for ECC error checking and correction. For each doubling of data bits, the ECC circuit 100 adds only one check bit during encoding of test data, that is, when the data bits in the test data are 16 bits, the additional check bits are 6 bits, when the data bits in the test data are 32 bits, the additional check bits are 7 bits, and when the data bits in the test data are 64 bits, the additional check bits are 8 bits. And so on, the added check bit is increased by only one bit when the data bit is doubled. When the ECC has more check bits, the fault-tolerant capability is stronger.
In addition, when the ECC circuit 100 writes test data into the memory chip 21 to be tested, the test data is written based on an address vector of the test data, which defines a memory bit to which the test data is to be written. Similarly, the parity bits have predetermined locations when written. Each memory bit has an address code.
S1103, after the preset duration, the error checking and correcting circuit reads out the storage data from the memory chip to be tested, and compares the test data with the storage data; and when the test data is inconsistent with the stored data, outputting the address code of the inconsistent data.
If a storage error occurs in a certain bit of the test data, the ECC circuit 100 will read out the storage data from the memory chip 21 to be tested after a preset time period, and will generate fail bit, which is different from the written test data. At this time, the ECC circuit 100 outputs an address code of the inconsistent data (i.e., the inconsistent data bit fail bit). Similarly, when the written check data does not match the read check data, the ECC circuit 100 outputs an address code of the mismatch data. The address code refers to the address code of the memory location where the inconsistent data is stored.
S1104, the storage circuit stores the address code of the inconsistent data output by the error checking and correcting circuit.
When the ECC circuit 100 does not output the address code of the inconsistent data, the memory circuit 200 does not need to have a memory operation. The storage circuit 200 may automatically store the address code of the inconsistent data, or may complete the storage of the address code of the inconsistent data under the control of other circuits, such as the built-in self-test control circuit 500 described below.
S1105, the built-in self-repair circuit repairs the memory to be tested according to the address code of the inconsistent data.
The BISR circuit 300 (i.e., the built-in self-repair circuit 300) is used for repairing the memory under test 20 according to the address coding of the inconsistent data. The BISR circuit 300 includes a repair algorithm for determining whether a failed memory cell in the memory 20 under test is repairable and performing a logical repair by software. In an alternative embodiment, after receiving the address code of the inconsistent data, the BISR circuit 300 determines the failed memory location in the memory under test 20 according to the address code of the inconsistent data, and then starts the repair algorithm to determine whether the failed memory location is repairable, and if the failed memory location is repairable, the execution logic performs repair.
Optionally, when the built-in self-test control circuit 500 detects that the address code is stored in the memory circuit 200, the address code of the inconsistent data is sent to the BISR circuit 300, and the BIST circuit 300 repairs the memory 20 to be tested according to the address code of the inconsistent data.
In an alternative embodiment, when each memory chip 21 to be tested is provided with the parameter setting circuit 22 and the memory test repair circuit is provided with the chip parameter configuration circuit 600, the chip parameter configuration circuit 600 inputs a parameter code to the parameter setting circuit 22, so that the parameter setting circuit 22 sets the operating parameter of the memory chip 21 to be tested according to the parameter code.
The memory test repair method provided in this embodiment describes a specific implementation manner of the memory test repair circuit 10 when testing the memory 20 to be tested. When the memory is tested, the memory test repair circuit can not only test the address of an abnormal memory cell (a memory cell causing inconsistency between write data and read data), but also store the address code of the inconsistency between the write data and the read data, and repair the memory. The operation environment of the memory chip 21 to be tested can be set according to actual needs, so that the test of the memory chip 21 to be tested has pertinence and practicability. Therefore, the memory test repair method provided by the embodiment enriches at least the function of the built-in self-test of the memory, and improves the effect of the built-in self-test of the memory.
