Generally, after an integrated circuit is manufactured, it must go through a series of tests to ensure the quality of the produced wafer, and even the process of the integrated circuit (1C) can be modified by the results of these tests. However, the test coverage and test time are usually the basic considerations for selecting various test items. There are no less than 100 items to be tested on each wafer on the wafer, so it will take a lot of time for each test to be performed. However, if the above test time is too long to consider, sometimes we will omit some test items to save the test time. This will often cause defects in the test coverage, which in turn will cause product quality problems. The conventional test method is usually to design a series of test items, and then test each chip directly according to each test item in this series. However, if the production process is properly controlled, the chip will be almost on some test items. If the test fails, then these test items are redundant, which makes the test time very long. In addition, based on the above consideration of test time, the conventional test method usually removes these dummy test items from a series of test items to reduce the test time. However, when the process conditions (process 1220545 07096twf2.doc / 006 revision date 92.12.17 condition) are different each time, there will be defects in the coverage of the test, which will cause the problem of product quality degradation. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to propose a method for testing semiconductor wafers with dynamic processes, which can optimize the test time and test coverage. In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, a test method is proposed that divides all test items into a set of necessary test items and multiple sets of selected test items. Multiple test items in this set of necessary test items are tested for each chip. , And then, depending on the results of the necessary item tests, decide whether to conduct or select multiple groups of selected test items. Because the present invention performs the necessary test items for each wafer, and then selectively conducts subsequent tests depending on the results, the present invention can not only save the test time, but also can reflect each of the necessary test items in the test phase. The difference of one chip, the selection test items after selecting each chip in real time, to achieve the optimization of the test coverage. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make a detailed description as follows: Brief description of the drawings: FIG. 1 ~ FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for testing a semiconductor wafer according to a dynamic process according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First, the test item area is classified (step 102), for example, into a set of necessary test items A and multiple sets of selected test items B, C, D, etc., where the set of necessary test items A includes a plurality of necessary test items Al , A2, A3, etc., and the selection test items include multiple selection test items Bl, B2, B3, Cl, C2, C3, Dl, D2, D3, and so on. Next, a test object is provided. The test object is, for example, a wafer. The test object is tested (step 104) with a necessary test item A to obtain a test result. Then, based on the test results, choose whether to select the test items B2, B2, B3, Cl, C2, C3, D2, D2, D3, and so on (step 106). Among them, the necessary test items are items such as short circuit / open circuit test, DC electrical test, basic function test, and the selected test items are items such as retention time test, high voltage test, and so on. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic flowchart of a test method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. First, the test project area is classified (step 102), for example, it is classified into a set of necessary test items A and a plurality of selected test groups B, C, and D. Among them, the set of necessary test items A includes a plurality of necessary 6 07096twf2.doc / 006 Date of revision 92.12.17 Test items A1, A2, A3, etc., while the selection test groups B, C, D include multiple selection test items B2, B3, Cl, C2, C3, D2 and D2 , D3, etc. Next, a test object is provided. The test object is, for example, a wafer. The test object is tested (step 104) with the necessary test item A to obtain a test result. Then based on this test result, at least one of test groups B, C, and D is selected for testing after selection (step 106). Among them, the necessary test items are items such as short circuit / open circuit test, DC electrical property test, basic function test, and the selected test items are items such as Retention Time test, high voltage test, and reliability test. Finally, please refer to FIG. 3, which shows the flow of the test method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is not intended. First, the test item area is classified (step 102), for example, it is classified into a group of necessary test items A and multiple groups of selected test items B, C, D, etc., where the group of necessary test items A includes a plurality of necessary test items Al, A2, A3, etc., and the selection test items include multiple selection test items Bl, B2, B3, a, C2, C3, D2, D2, D3, and so on. Next, a test object is provided. The test object is, for example, a wafer, and the test object is tested with the necessary test item A (step 104) to obtain a first test result. Then, based on the test results, at least one test item in the test groups B, C, and D is selected and tested once to obtain a second result. Then based on the above two test results (the first result, the first result), select at least one of the test items after selection, and then select a test item for further testing. Among them, 'necessary test items are, for example, short circuit / open circuit test, DC test, basic function test, etc.', and the test items are selected, for example, Retention Time test, high voltage test, reliable 07096twf2.doc / 006 amendment date 92.12. 17 degree test and other items. In the above, if the test result obtained after performing the necessary test item A reaches a certain standard, it can be omitted to select a simpler subsequent selective test item to save testing time (Figure 1). Conversely, if the test results obtained after the necessary test item A fails to meet the standard and cannot be completely determined as eligible, then at least one set of suitable test items is selected from multiple sets of selected test items for one or more different tests. Reaching every test performed has its own advantages (Figures 2 and 3). In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, if those skilled in the art can easily know, the basic function test of the chip includes the initial voltage test, the resistance test, the leakage current test and the capacitance test, but it is not limited thereto. In summary, the test method of the present invention has at least the following advantages: 1 · The test method of the present invention includes necessary test items for each wafer, and then conducts subsequent tests selectively depending on the results, so the present invention can save Time spent testing to optimize test time. 2. The test method of the present invention can optimize the test coverage during the test phase by reflecting the differences of each wafer reflected by the necessary test items in real time to select the test items after each wafer. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
