Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a short circuit in wiring and double selection fault by using an array of alternate ''1'' and ''0'', or low and high levels as a dummy cell pattern for inspection and taking a test of functions. CONSTITUTION:As an arrangement of an inspecting cell, transistors and diodes are arranged alternately for, for example, a junction destructive type PROM. In other general ROM devices, memory cells are arranged so that pieces of information on a high and a low level are arrayed alternately. Thus, a short circuit in wiring and the double selection fault of a memory cell are detected.

FIG. 2 shows a specific embodiment of the present invention.6
M1 to M. are test cells in which transistors and diodes are alternately arranged. The output from each cell is input into a comparator, and the expected value corresponding to each cell is input into the comparator and compared. For example, if J turtle and Jt are in conflict, if M electric is selected, the expected value will be 1, but if pigeon is selected, the expected value will be 10. Well then (outputs "1" V. 5) If the transistors and diodes are alternated, if they are seated, the expected value and true output will be detected and compared with the expected value using comparison I! The defective location is detected.Thereby, it is possible to eliminate assignment errors and double selection defects.Note that 1' and ~1' are the bit lines where the expected value is output. It is.

Similarly, in the case of the fuse method shown in Figure 3, if there is a mark between the wires, if there is a double selection defect, or if information different from the expected value is obtained, it is considered defective. It can be determined that there is.

The present invention makes it possible to detect layout defects and single-layer selection defects, which previously could only be detected after assembly, at the probe inspection stage, which has a significant effect on reducing product costs. It also gives the product credibility in the market and makes it effective. Furthermore, the inspection pattern can also be simplified to (101010...).
