Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a test method thereof, and more particularly to an L c D (Liquid Crystal Display) which is effectively used for a function of a gate line for driving a liquid crystal panel. The technology of a semiconductor device such as a driver and a test method thereof. [Prior Art] The inventors of the present invention have explained the technique reviewed prior to the present invention by using Figs. 16 to 1.9. Figure 16 shows the connection between the LCD panel and the CD driver. Figure 17 shows the connection between the LCD driver and the semiconductor test device. Figure 18 shows the structure of the inverter circuit 3 in Figure 17. Figure 9 shows the action diagram of the gate output of the LCD driver. As shown in Fig. 16, the liquid crystal panel 500 is connected to the L C D driver necessary to drive the liquid crystal. The transistor 51 1 and the capacitor 5 1 2 are arranged in the form of the respective pixels 510 of the liquid crystal panel 500, and the source terminals of the respective transistors in the vertical direction are shown to be common. Similarly, the gate terminals of the respective transistors in the horizontal direction shown in the figure are also common. Generally, in driving the liquid crystal panel 500, it is necessary to have a source driver 510 connected to the source common terminal, having a function of applying a gray scale voltage as color display information, and a common terminal connected to the gate. A gate driver 502 for performing a display control function of a pixel in the horizontal direction and a power supply circuit 503 having a function of generating a voltage necessary for operating the source driver 501 and the gate driver 502. These are generally referred to as LCD drivers, source driver 5 0 1 , gate driver 5 0 2, power supply circuit 5 0 3 have (2) (2) 1254799 for individual integration, and integrate several functions to integrate On the case of one wafer. As shown in FIG. 7 , an LCD driver (power supply circuit built-in gate driver) 1 f having a function necessary for driving the gate common terminal of the liquid crystal panel is connected to the semiconductor test device during the electrical operation test. 1 〇〇, perform an electrical action test in this connected state. The inverter circuit (output circuit) 30 of the output section of the LCD driver If is formed by the level shift circuit 40, the p-channel type transistor 50, and the n-channel type transistor 51 as shown in FIG. A configuration in which a positive voltage VGH or a negative voltage VGL is output from the gate output terminal Gx in response to the input level H/L. In Fig. 17, the gate output terminals G1 to Gn of the LCD driver If perform display/non-display control of one line of each of the liquid crystal panels (pixels in the horizontal direction shown in Fig. 6). Therefore, as shown in Fig. 19, even if the count 値 (set state) of the LCD driver 1 f is changed, one of the plurality of gate output terminals G1 to Gn must have a positive voltage VGH (display voltage) output. In addition, the negative voltage VGL (non-display voltage) output 'acts so exclusively for outputting voltage. In the test of the LCD driver 1f, as shown in FIG. 7, each of the gate output terminals G1 to Gn is connected to the comparator 1 〇3 of the semiconductor test apparatus 1A, and each gate output terminal G1. The voltage 〜 of Gn is determined by the semiconductor test apparatus 100 as a positive voltage VGH or a negative voltage VGL. Further, in the state of all the counts (set state) of the LCD driver 1 f shown in FIG. 9, when the voltages shown are output from the gate output terminals G1 to Gn, it is determined about the LCD driver. 1 f gate output function -6 - (3) (3) 1254799 There is no defect, and the test on the gate output is ended. On the other hand, the high definition of the liquid crystal panel is moving forward, and the number of output pins of the LCD driver tends to increase. The conventional LCD driver test method is as described above, in which each gate output terminal is connected to a comparator of a semiconductor test apparatus to carry out a test. Further, the input pin for operating the LCD driver is similarly applied by the semiconductor test apparatus, and the number of input pins also needs to be allocated to the number of channels of the semiconductor test apparatus. Therefore, it is necessary to have a semiconductor test device having a channel with more than one input/output pin of the LCD driver. For example, in a semiconductor test device equipped with 256 channels, it is not possible to test an LCD driver with a gate output of 305 pins. There is a problem that it is impossible to test in the semiconductor test apparatus. Furthermore, in the LCD driver for driving a liquid crystal panel mounted on a small device such as a mobile phone, for the purpose of miniaturization of the device, there are all functions (source, gate, power supply circuit, etc.) necessary for driving the liquid crystal panel. The tendency to accumulate on one wafer increases the sum of the number of pins of the LCD driver. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of channels of the semiconductor test device by purchasing a new semiconductor test device with a large number of channels, or purchasing a product purchased by a semiconductor test device manufacturer, and the LCD cannot be lowered. The problem of manufacturing cost of the drive. As a method for solving this problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of providing a changeover switch between a device under test and a semiconductor test device. Specifically, it is revealed that the switch performs a test while sequentially switching the connection between the comparator in the semiconductor test device and the output pin of the semiconductor device in accordance with the switching signal from the C P U in the semiconductor test device.

Further, a latch circuit (D-reactor circuit) 7 is provided for the purpose of maintaining the output of the decoder 5 during the display period of the pixels of each line of the liquid crystal panel. The test state inverter circuit 9 is a so-called timing inverter circuit structure, as shown in Fig. 2, is a level shift circuit 40, and a high withstand voltage of a conventional inverter circuit. The p-channel type transistors 50 and 60 are composed of high-voltage n-channel type transistors 5 1 and 61. In the test state inverter circuit 9, by inputting the H/L signal at the gate terminals EnH/EnL of the transistors 60 and 61, as shown in Fig. 4, the input level H/L is applied. Can be controlled to a high impedance state. In addition, the purpose of using the level shifting circuit 40 and the high withstand voltage transistor is as follows: that is, the gate output voltage VGH/VGL is higher than the power supply voltage Vcc for operating the LCD driver 1 by, for example, +16.. 16.5V. Therefore, the P-channel type transistor 50, 60 and the n-channel type transistor 51 61 are used even when a voltage of VGL applied by VGH, that is, a voltage of 33 V (usually a voltage higher than this) is used. A transistor that guarantees the withstand voltage of the action. The shape and type of the ρ channel type transistor surrounded by the circular mark shown in Fig. 2 (input 5/- times, electric height 50 -12- (9) (9) 1254799, 60 0 and 5 1 and 6 1 show the use of a high withstand voltage transistor. The high withstand voltage crystal system is larger than the normal transistor size that is guaranteed to operate by applying a normal power supply voltage. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2 As shown, the level shifting circuit 40 is set, by using a normal transistor in the circuit of the front stage of the level shifting circuit 40, and using a high voltage resistant crystal in the circuit of the latter stage of the level shifting circuit 40, The area of the wafer of the LCD driver 1 is made small. In the case of performing the test, as in the test mode (1) shown in Fig. 4, the setting signal EnH = EriL = L for the test state type inverter circuit 9 is set. When the input signal M = L of the EX - Ο R circuit 6 is set, the input level of the decoder circuit 5 is not changed, and is input to the test state type inverter circuit 9 by the inquiry lock circuit 7. Therefore, In this setting state, as shown in Fig. 6(a), the negative voltage output VGL can be made in the normal operation. The details are changed to the high-impedance state. The details of the setting method of the signal EnH/EnL of the test state inverter circuit 9 and the signal Μ of the Ex-OR circuit 6 will be described later. In the state setting LCD driver, as shown in Fig. 1, the first resistor (R1) 1 2 is connected to each of the gate output terminals G1 to Gn, and the other side of the first resistor 1 2 is connected in common. Connection point A is set to the second resistor (R2) 1 3 as the termination of the resistor circuit net. And 'Connect the connection point A to the semiconductor test device 1 比较 comparator 1 〇 3 ' to carry out the test. There is no LCD driver 1 In the case of the defect, as shown in Fig. 6(a), regardless of the state of the counter 4, only the 1 terminal of the gate output is the VG Η output, and the other is in the high impedance state, which is equivalent to the second figure. The circuit, that is, the input voltage of the comparator 1 0 3 becomes the ratio of the resistance 値R 1 -13- of the resistor 1 2 (10) 1254799 to the resistance 値R2 of the resistor 13 , namely: VA={R2/(Rl+R2) }xVGH [V] (Formula 1), the resistance of the first resistor 1 2 and the second resistor 13 becomes phase R1 = R2 = R) , VA = (1/2) VGH [V]. Based on the failure of the decoder circuit 5 or the like, unlike the voltage state of the sixth (a) diagram, the positive voltage VGH is input to two or more; in the case of output, or the voltage is not output to all of the gate outputs. Second, the resistor circuit shown in FIG. 1 is input to the comparator 1 〇3 different from the aforementioned voltage. For example, in the case of a fault, in the case where the positive voltage is output to the two terminals in the gate output, it becomes equivalent to the first circuit. At this time, if the principle of Millman is used, the voltage at the connection point A of the comparator 1 〇3 becomes: VA = (2VGH/R1) / {(1/R1) + (1/R1) +1/R1}} [V] (Equation 2). In the case where the resistance 値 of the first resistor 1 2 and the second resistor 13 is the same as R1 = R2 = R ), VA = (2/3) VGH [V], based on the voltage 连接 at the connection, the fault can be determined. There is no. In the above-described test, the output negative voltage VGL was originally changed to a high impedance by setting the signal for the test state inverter circuit 9 to EnH = EnL = L. In the implementation of this test 2 1 値 (;: the L gate L case J voltage VGH 3 map is the input 点 (point A situation set situation -14 - (11) (11) 1254799, shown in Figure 2 The n-channel type transistor 50 often does not operate. Therefore, in order to carry out the operation test of the n-channel type transistor 50, the input signal of the input Ex-OR circuit 6 is set to the Η level so that the input is in the test state type inverter. The level of the H/L of the circuit 9 is reversed. Moreover, as shown in the test mode (2) of Fig. 4, if the setting signal EnH = EnL = H for the test state type inverter circuit 9 is set, As shown in Fig. 6(b), only the one terminal of the gate output becomes the V GL output. The voltage input to the connection point A of the comparator 1 〇3 becomes (Formula 1) and (Formula 2) as described above. The VGH is changed to VGL, and similarly, the presence or absence of the fault can be determined. Thus, by setting the polarity inversion signal Μ ' for the Ex-OR circuit 6 and the setting signal EnH of the test state type inverter circuit 9 And EnL is set to the test mode (1) and test mode (2) shown in Fig. 4 'One channel of the semiconductor test device can be simultaneously entered The test of the gate output of the complex number is performed. Next, the setting of the Μ signal ' of the Ex-OR circuit 6 and the EnH and EnL signals for the test state type inverter circuit 9 is explained. Fig. 1 shows the test control circuit 2 A circuit configuration for generating signals of Μ, EnH, and EnL. Specifically, a test register (not shown) and a test control terminal TE ST are prepared in the interface circuit/storage unit 3. For the test register The writing is performed by using the input signal line. The test control terminal TEST is used as a control terminal for selecting the normal operation/test mode. For example, as shown in Fig. 5, the test control circuit 2 can respond to the test control terminal and the test. The setting of the memory is composed of circuits for outputting Μ, EnH and EnL signals. In addition, the test control terminal TEST of Figure 5 and the test temporary storage -15-(12) (12) 1254799 are set and Μ, The correspondence between the EnH and the EnL signal is not limited to this. The test control circuit 2 is illustrated separately, but may be included in the interface circuit/storage unit 3, for example. 2 Although the resistor 1 3 is terminated at GND (ground), it may be terminated at any arbitrary voltage. In the present embodiment, the setting of the test control terminal TE ST and the test register is shown in the figure. The test control circuit 2 generates an example of the signal (Μ, EnH, EnL) for switching the test mode. However, the object of the present invention is to set the output state of the sixth figure (test mode) during the test implementation ( 1) and (2)) are tested, and the circuit configuration for switching signals of these test modes is not limited, and various modifications can be made. For example, you can also set the control terminals of Μ, EnH, and EnL to switch the H/L level by external switching.

The configuration is not even the Ex-OR circuit 6. Although the power supply circuit 1 1 including the gate output voltage VGH/VGL generated by the power supply voltage Vcc is shown, it may be a configuration including a power supply circuit depending on the type of the LCD driver, or may be an external input gate output voltage VGH. /VGL construction. Further, Fig. 1 is an example of a structure of an LCD driver for gate output, and is not limited to the structure shown in the figure. Further, a circuit having a function not shown may be integrated on the same wafer. Further, in Fig. 2, although the level shifting circuit is shown assembled in the test state inverter circuit 9, -16-(13)(13) 1254799 is not necessarily provided in the same circuit. In the present embodiment, although all the gate outputs of the LCD driver are simultaneously tested by one channel of the semiconductor test apparatus, the illustration and description are made. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of gate outputs may be borrowed. One of the resistor circuit nets was collected, and the number of channels of the semiconductor test apparatus having a smaller number of gate outputs was used to carry out the test. The number of input and output pins of the LCD driver and the number of channels of the semiconductor test device used or the arrangement of the gate of the gate output pin can be considered to determine the number of gate outputs and the number of channels used by the semiconductor test device. . In the other embodiments described later, these points are not particularly described, but in the embodiments according to the present invention, they are all quite the same. Finally, in the present embodiment, a method of reducing the area occupied by the wafer of the additional circuit will be described. The structure of the test state inverter circuit 9 shown in Fig. 1 can be realized by a combination of transistors shown in Fig. 2, but as already explained, the transistor used in the circuit also needs to be used high. Pressure-resistant. Therefore, compared with the LCD driver previously proposed in the present invention, the p-channel type and n-channel type high resistance piezoelectric crystals require additional gate output terminal numbers, and the wafer area is increased, and the price of the LCD driver is lowered. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the LCD driver la which is an example in which the circuit scale is reduced is additionally provided with the transistors 65 and 66 controlled to be high impedance and the test state inverter circuit 10, By assigning the transistors 65 and όό and VGL2 to the respective test state inverter circuits 10, the same operations as those of the circuits shown in Figs. 1 and 2 can be performed. By changing the structure shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 by -17-(14) (14) 1254799, the number of additional high-withstand voltage transistors is less than that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 The influence of the increase in the wafer area of the LCD driver due to the use of the present invention can be reduced. In Fig. 7, the transistors 65 and 66 for high-impedance control are shown as being independent of other circuits, but may be included in the test control circuit 2 or the power supply circuit 11. In addition, although the transistors 65 and 6 are each shown as one transistor, considering the current limit of the transistor, the resistance 値, etc., it is possible to form a plurality of transistors in parallel to form an optimum setting system. Various changes can be made. In the embodiment to be described later, the test state inverter circuit shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is illustrated and described. However, the circuit configuration shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is not used. Say it can. (Embodiment 2) An LCD driver according to a second embodiment of a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 9 to 12 . Figure 9 is the structure of the LCD driver. The first circuit is the equivalent circuit of the test. The first picture is the structure of the LCD driver that does not need to set the comparison voltage. The first picture is the test form. In the LCD driver 1b of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the resistor circuit network provided between the LCD driving benefit and the conductor § test device is integrated in the LCD. In an example of the driver, when the test is not performed, the switch (switch means) 17 connected in series with the first resistor 1 2 can be provided by cutting off the resistor network. Regarding the test implementation (test -18-(15) (15) 1254799 type), the gate output voltages, and the settings of the signals of Μ, EnH, and EnL are the same as those described in the first embodiment. , the description is omitted. The difference from the first embodiment is that the resistor circuit network is integrated into the LCD driver 1b, and all of the output voltages during the test are input to the comparator of the semiconductor test device 100 via the gate output terminal G1. And its output voltage 値. As described in detail, when the LCD driver 1 b is not faulty, the equivalent circuit when the count 値 shown in Fig. 6 is 1 becomes the 10th (a) figure, and the case where the count 値 is 1 becomes the first 1 〇( b ) The equivalent circuit of the figure. In the first embodiment, the voltage is determined by the resistance ratio of the first resistor 1 2 and the second resistor 13 in the normal operation, regardless of the count 値. However, in the present embodiment, It can be understood from the equivalent circuit of Fig. 10 that the output voltage becomes V GH or VGL only when the count 値 is 1. The determination of the quality of the voltage 値 is performed by the semiconductor test apparatus 1B, but the comparator 1 0 3 of the semiconductor test apparatus 100 is changed by the state in which the count 値 of the LCD driver 1 b is 1 and other states. When the voltage is compared, the test can be performed correctly. Further, the comparison voltage setting of the comparator 1300 can be arbitrarily performed by a program for controlling the semiconductor test device 100 called a test program. Further, the switch 1 7 ' illustrated in the present embodiment is generally constituted by one or a plurality of transistors. In addition, although the first resistor 1 2 and the second resistor 13 are integrated in the LCD driver 1 'but the same can be changed to the second resistor 1 3 and not integrated into the test. For it. -19- (16) (16) 1254799 As described above, in the present embodiment, when the count 値 is 1 or other, the voltage of the comparator 10 3 input to the semiconductor test apparatus 1 is different. As in the first embodiment, the input voltage of the comparator 1 〇3 is constant regardless of the setting state of the LCD driver 1. In the test, it is not necessary to change the comparison voltage of the comparator. However, in the present embodiment, In the case of the test, it is necessary to change the comparison voltage of the comparator once. Therefore, compared with the first embodiment, the comparison voltage setting portion of the comparator increases the test time. Therefore, in the LCD driver 1b shown in the present embodiment, an example in which the comparison voltage of the comparator 103 is not required to be set is tested in Fig. 1 . In the LCD driver 1c of Fig. 11, two comparators (Cpl, CP2) 103 of the semiconductor test apparatus 100 are connected to the gate output terminals G1 and G2, respectively, and the test is performed. When the LCD driver lc is set in the test mode (1), when the count 値 is 1, the VGH is input to the comparator Cpl connected to G1, and the voltage of VGH/2 is input to the comparator Cp2 connected to G2. Further, when the count 値 is 2, VGH/2 is input to the comparator Cpl connected to G1, and the voltage of VGH is input to the comparator Cp2 connected to G2. As described above, the details of the comparison of the benefits of the comparison test of the semiconductor test apparatus 100 are described. However, in actuality, the output is compared with the comparator described as the test form shown in FIG. It is expected that the form of 値η/L is consistent to determine the quality of the LCD driver. Here, the X system recorded in the test form is not related to the output 値Η/L of the comparator, and is not expected to be determined. That is, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the comparison voltages of the two comparators cp 1 and C p 2 connected to the gate output are expected to be VG Η / 2 -20 - (17) 1254799. According to the test form, only when the count 値1, the comparator connected to G2 makes a judgment, and when other counts 値, the judgment is made by the comparator of G1. Therefore, it is not necessary to set the voltage of the comparator, and the test time becomes shorter than in the case shown in Fig. 7. Further, in Fig. 1, the comparator 103 is connected to Gl|5, but the connection terminal is not limited, and only two comparator experiments may be used. Further, the test form of Fig. 2 is an example of the test, and is not limited thereto. In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, although it is possible to determine the gate output voltage of the plurality of gate outputs, only one pin output voltage is excitable. However, it is difficult to define which gate output pin output voltage is difficult. Further, in the case of the high reliability of the test, the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment will be described below. (Embodiment 3) An LCD driver according to Embodiment 3 of the semiconductor package according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 13 and 14. Fig. 13 shows the LCD driving structure, and Fig. 14 shows the equivalent circuit during the test. In the LCD driver Id of the third embodiment, a portion different from the above-described first embodiment is a resistor circuit network provided between the gate outputs G1 to Gn and the semiconductor test device 1 as shown in FIG. . The first resistor 1 2 is connected between the gate output terminals, and one of the first resistors 12 (connection point A) connected only to the output terminal is terminated by a second resistor. A resistor circuit different from the above-described first embodiment is connected to the comparison t G2 and has been tested. In the embodiment, the terminal body of the device is a gate 13 and the -21 - (18) (18) 1254799 is set in the test mode (1) described in the first embodiment, and the test is carried out. The voltage at the connection point A is, for example, VG Η when the count 値1 of the sixth (a) diagram is set, and 'the voltage divided by the first resistor and the second resistor R2 when set to the count 値2. When the count 値3 is set, the voltage is divided by 2 R1 and the third resistor R2 which are twice the first resistance, and thus the first resistor R 1 is given a weight. As shown in the equivalent circuit in this case, the voltage at the connection point becomes: VA={R2/(xRl+R2)} VGH [V] (Expression 3) (However, X : Count 値· 1 ), by the voltage 连接 at the connection point A, the specific determination of the pin of the gate output voltage can be simultaneously performed. Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the test mode (2) shown in Fig. 4 is set and the test is carried out in the same manner. Further, when the voltage is not in the voltage output state shown in Fig. 6 at the time of the test, when the equivalent circuit is considered as described in the first embodiment, the voltage 连接 at the connection point A is different from the expected value. You can determine the presence or absence of a fault. The voltage measurement at the connection point A is measured by the voltage measuring unit 150 of the semiconductor test device 100 as shown in Fig. 3 . As in the first embodiment, the comparator of the semiconductor test apparatus 100 can be used for the determination. However, in general, the semiconductor test apparatus 1 is configured to compare the voltage of the comparator with the ratio of «22^ (19) (19) 1254799. It takes a few 値A s degrees. The voltage measuring unit of the semiconductor test device 100 detects the voltage, which is determined in advance in the determination of the test program. Therefore, the speed is related to the c P u of the semiconductor test device 1 and can be determined at high speed. . As in the case of the present embodiment, when the voltage is changed during the measurement, as determined by the voltage measuring unit 150, as shown in Fig. 3, the test time can be shortened, and the manufacturing cost of the L C D driver 1 d can be reduced. However, the present embodiment is not limited to the voltage measuring unit 15 5 of the semiconductor test apparatus 100, and the test may be carried out in a manner most suitable for the test.

The level (H/L) of the gate of the type transistor 50 and the ? channel type transistor 51 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and can be controlled to a high impedance in accordance with the input level. Hereinafter, the specific test method is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. According to the present embodiment, the 〇R circuit 90 and the AND circuit 9 1 for controlling the high impedance are disposed in the entire input terminal of the level shift circuit 40, and the high impedance control transistor of the first embodiment is used. Generally, high resistance to piezoelectric crystals is not required. Further, in the circuit configuration shown in Fig. 2 of the first embodiment, the resistance (output impedance) when the gate terminal is turned on is the sum of the p-channel type transistors 50 and 60 or the n-channel type transistor. The sum of 51 and 61, however, in the present embodiment, like the conventional LCD driver, the Ρ channel type transistor 50 or the n channel type transistor 51 is used, and the Ρ channel type transistor 50, η channel is used. The transistor 5i is the same as the -24(21)(21)1254799 characteristic of the first embodiment, and the on-resistance of the gate terminal can be made smaller. The above description is based on the premise that the inverter circuit of the fifth embodiment is used in the first embodiment (first drawing), but similarly, it can be used in the second to fourth embodiments (the ninth diagram and the first The descriptions of the first embodiment, the first embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the first embodiment, the first embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the second embodiment, the second embodiment, the second embodiment.
