Description

Automation integrated circuit system test system, devices and methods therefor
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of automation integrated circuit system test system, devices and methods therefor, but particularly relevant for the final terminal user state of a kind of emulation, and the automation integrated circuit system test system, the devices and methods therefor that carry out dynamic test.
Background technology
Computer has almost become one of necessity in the life for the mankind now, server (server) no matter, work station (Workstation), desktop computer (desktop computer), notebook computer (notebook computer) or portable computer (portable computer), or personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant) or palmtop computer (palm-top PC) or pouch-type computer (pocket PC), even industrial computer (industrial computer), become the some of most people's daily life.(integration circuit IC) forms, and these integrated circuits all must pass through complicated test, just can guarantee the using character of product and these computers are by many integrated circuits.
Please refer to Fig. 1, it illustrates known PC (personal computer, PC) Organization Chart.Known PC 100 mainly comprise central processing unit 110 (Central ProcessingUnit, CPU), system bus controller 112 (System Bus Controller), input/output bus controller 114 main integrated circuits such as (I/O Bus Controller) constitute.Wherein, memory 116 (Memory), advance rank graphics port 118 (Advanced Graphic Port) and electrically connect system bus controller 112, and monitor 120 (monitor) electrically connects with advancing rank graphics port 118, with output image.And peripheral cell interface 122 (peripheral componentinterface PCI) is connected between system bus controller 112 and the input/output bus controller 114.As for integrated driving electrical interface 130 (integrated drive electronics, IDE), (universal serial bus USB) electrically connects with input/output bus controller 114 for floppy drive 132 (floppy disk), parallel port 134 (parallel port), serial port 136 (serial port) and universal serial bus 138.In addition, can also audio 140 (Audio) and Ethernet 142 (ethernet) be electrically connected with input/output bus controller 114 selectivity.
And above-mentioned these members all are that many integrated circuits (Integrated Circuit is arranged, IC) constitute, such as central processing unit 110, system bus controller 112, input/output bus controller 114, memory 116, perhaps advance graphics accelerator (GraphicAccelerator) in the rank graphics port 118 etc.The perhaps integrated circuit on the extended interface in the peripheral cell interface 122; Also comprise audio chip and Ethernet chip etc. in addition.Said integrated circuit all is the important electronic component of computer, so the usefulness of these integrated circuits and compatibility relation are to the operation of whole computer.
Please refer to Fig. 2, it illustrates known integrated circuit testing flow process.Known integrated circuit 202 such as being that logical integrated circuit (logic IC) is finished through the manufacturing of wafer factory, make a preliminary test, and then through after the encapsulation, then need pass through final test 204 (final test) beginning can shipment 206.Normally earlier integrated circuit is positioned over automatic test equipment (automatic test equipment, ATE) in, utilize a test bench (test socket) to electrically connect the contact of integrated circuit, the copying test action of being scheduled to then judges whether integrated circuit is normal again.Yet known integrated circuit is installed to the test bench of automatic test equipment with tested integrated circuit earlier, and automatic test equipment is controlled under the state of high temperature when carrying out high temperature test and during low-temperature test, carries out the electrical detection of tested integrated circuit.After detection is finished, just this tested integrated circuit is pulled down from test bench, and other tested integrated circuit is installed on the test bench, carry out high temperature test.The tested integrated circuit of finishing high temperature test just can be installed on other the test bench of automatic test equipment again, carries out low-temperature test.When carrying out high temperature test and low-temperature test, all be to carry out functional simulation, and the final state of element judges whether integrated circuit normal after all finishing with test with specific program, at last according to test result with integrated circuit classification (binning), shipment then.As mentioned above, after tested integrated circuit finishes high temperature test, must move tested integrated circuit to other automatic test equipment, carry out low-temperature test again, this kind test mode is not very had an efficiency.
Also need pass through burn-in test 210 (burn-in test) as for memory integrated circuit (memory IC) through behind the final test 208 of phase I, at process second stage final test 212, the beginning can shipment.As for phase I final test 208 and second stage final test 212 all is to carry out with automatic test equipment.Burn-in test 210 then is to utilize manual or semi-automatic mode integrated circuit to be positioned in the connector (Socket) of testing circuit board, put into the heating tester table again, integrated circuit is applied thermal effect (thermal stress), voltage stress (voltage stress) or current stress (current stress), to carry out burn-in test.Yet known integrated circuit testing and actual operating state that can't the emulation terminal user all are to carry out functional test with simulated program, thus after being assembled into computer in the future, still the quality instability might take place, or with the incompatible problem of other integrated circuit.
Please refer to Fig. 3, it illustrates known integrated circuit modules testing process.In order to solve the problem that said integrated circuit test can't the emulation terminal user, knownly can with between shipment, add the integrated circuit modules test at final test.Known integrated circuit modules test provides a module, and such as an interface, perhaps a complete machine computer utilizes then and manually integrated circuit 302 inserted in module or the complete machine computer, shown in 304, but emulation terminal user's operating environment.Test 306 then, just will be by the integrated circuit shipment 308 of test.Yet this part all adopts artificial mode to carry out, and test process also is to decide integrated circuit whether qualified in artificial visually examine's mode.Yet manual testing not only production capacity reduces, and the testing time is elongated, and output reduces, and cost improves, and manually is easy to generate erroneous judgement and causes test accuracy to reduce.
Above-mentioned known test mode is listed below by many shortcomings and not enough place:
1, known integrated circuit testing can't the final user mode of emulation user, even if therefore by test, also may have problems when the user uses, conflicts etc. such as producing with software.
What 2, placed on the testing circuit board during known integrated circuit testing all is with a kind of element, can't detect the compatibility issue between different elements.
3, known method of testing still must be dependent on many manually, makes production capacity and cost all limited, and causes the possibility of human error.
4, known integrated circuit modules method of testing also promptly can not impose the control of operating temperature to element in module stage after the integrated circuit assembling, so can't emulation testing for some state of reality use.
5, known tested integrated circuit is after finishing high temperature test, must move tested integrated circuit to other automatic test equipment, carries out low-temperature test again, and this kind test mode is not very had an efficiency.
6, the judgement of known test general all with last integrated circuit state as benchmark, also can't detect for some dynamic mistakes, such as with graphics accelerator, the image drift (video shaking), form and aspect variations (discoloring display), ghost (ghost shallow) or the image error phenomenons such as (white block) that produce during actual executive program all can't be detected.Or cause when phenomenons such as machines during the integrated circuit executive software, all can't obtain with traditional test mode detecting.
