Description

1277747 玫、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 : 本發明係有關於一種高速半導體元件測試裝置 : 及其測試方法。 【先前技術】 DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM 是一種以 • SDRAM為基礎發展而來的記憶體技術。不同於 SDRAM同步隨機存取記憶體在每個電腦時脈周期只 φ 能支援一個資料運作,DDR SDRAM可以在每個時脈 周期執行兩個資料運作。因此,加倍了記億體的頻寬 也提高資料的傳輸量。因此,DDR SDRAM記憶體已 廣泛應用於電腦系統平台内,包括桌上型電腦、工作 站、伺服器、筆記型電腦、攜帶型、電腦網路及通訊 產品等,成為記憶體技術的主流產品。隨著技術的進 步,DDR SDRAM記憶體的資料率(Data Rate)已由 200/266MHz晉昇為5 3 3/6 6 7MHz,未來更可能進一步 提昇至800MHz/l .066GHz之境。因此,頻率的提昇 對於測試技術也是一項難鉅的挑戰。 請參照圖一,所示為應用於DDR SDRAM記憶體 一測試系統1的示意圖。如圖一所示,測試系統1主 要包括一測試機1 0,例如:此測試機1 0可是由愛德 萬公司所產製之Advantest 5 592/5 593測試機,主要 是用以產生測試型樣(t e s t p a 11 e r η)之用。此測試機1 〇 概可區分為數個測試站(station),若測試機 10是 Advantest 5592/5593測試機,則提供有兩個測試站 1 2和1 4。每個測試站1 2和1 4分別連接至個別的測 試治具(fixture) 1 6和1 8,即如圖一所示。 5 1277747 請參照圖二,所示為測試治具1 6的示意圖。如圖 二所示,測試治具1 6包括:一測試頭(test head) 20、 一共用電路模組(common motherboard) 22、一插座模 組(socket board) 24等。測試頭20内具有驅動器和 比較器等元件,作為訊號驅動和比較之用。共用電路 模組22内具有接線(coaxial cable),作為連接電路模 組22與插座模組24之用。插座模組24内具插座電 路板(Socket Board PCB)與插座連接器,用以固定積 體電路元件(1C)。待測元件,或以 DUT稱之)係插置於插座模組24上,為簡明起見,圖 二僅繪不兩個待測元件26A與26B,實則若以 Advantest 5 592/5 593測試機為例,則待測元件可為 64個、甚至咼達128個。由於圖二僅供示意之用, 表不測試頭20與共用電路模組22呈電性耦接、以及 共用電路模組22與插座模組24呈電性麵接。 由於待測兀件26A與26B的接腳(pin)概可區分 為輸入端(丨叫1^1^11)或輸入/輪出端(1/〇1)111)兩類。請 參照圖二,所不為應用於輸入端之習知測試裝置3的 電路不意圖。此應用於輸入端之習知測試裝置3係設 置於圖二測試治具1 6内,此測試裝置3主要包括一 驅動器(driver) 30,此驅動器3〇經由一接腳32 a連 接至待測元件26A某一輸入端,同時經由另一接腳 32 B連接至待測元件26β某一輸入端。換言之,待 測元件26A與26B均由驅動器3〇所驅動控制。 但是,DDR SDRAM記憶體的輸入/輸出端有4、 8、16位兀的差異,圖三之連接方式可適用於4個輸 入/輸出位το或8個輸入/輪出位元的ddr SDRAM記 憶體的測試,卻無法用於测試16個輸入/輸出位元的 DDR SDRAM記憶體。若於16位元之應用,即便需 6 1277747 如圖四將接腳3 2B浮接(floating),也就是驅動器3 Ο 僅能對應於一個待測元件26Α。此時,由於浮接接腳 3 2 Β之阻抗(i m p e d a n c e)很大,驅動器3 0所傳輸的信 號將有明顯的反射效應(reflection)發生,影響測試的 準確性,而隨著信號的頻率越高,反射效應會更為嚴 〇 請參照圖五,所示為應用於輸入/輸出端之習知測 試裝置5的電路示意圖。此應用於輸入端之習知測試 裝置5係設置於圖二測試治具16内,此測試裝置5 主要包括:驅動器5 0、開關5 1、電阻5 2、電壓終端 器(v ο 11 a g e t e r m i n a 1) 5 3、比較器 5 4、開關 5 5、電阻 5 6、電壓終端器5 7等。驅動器5 0之輸入端接收測試 型樣(test pattern) PAT,輸出端經由輸入/輸出接腳 59A連接至待測元件26A。換言之,驅動器50僅對 應一個待測元件26A。開關5 1、電阻52、電壓終端 器53等串接於驅動器致能信號/DRE與接地點之間。 比較器54連接至輸入/輸出接腳59A,若有資料自輸 入/輸出接腳59A讀出時,比較器54會判別出此資料 為邏輯高準位或邏輯低準位。而開關5 5、電阻5 6、 電壓終端器5 7等係串接於比較器5 4輸入端與接地點 之間。當於寫入模式下,開關5 1和5 5經由OUTL信 號之控制呈關閉狀態,而致能信號/DRE為邏輯低準 位(logic low),用以致能驅動器 50,致使驅動器50 輸出端輸出測試型樣信號 PAT ;同時致能信號/DRE 禁能開關5 8 ;當於讀取模式下,開關5 1和5 5經由 OUTL信號之控制呈開啟狀態,致能信號/DRE為邏輯 高準位(logic high),禁能驅動器50、致能開關58, 使電阻 5 2和電壓終端器5 3耦接至輸入/輸出接腳 59A,由比較器54判別出此讀出資料為邏輯高準位與 7 1277747 邏輯低準位中之一者。同理,應用於待測元件 26B 之輸入/輸出端測試裝置亦與圖五所揭示者相同或類 似。換句話說,待測元件26A與26B無法共用同一 個驅動器。 習知有針對16位元DDR SDRAM記憶體者,另 外設計測試治具,則使用者(通常是記憶體元件製造 廠或測試廠)必須另行購買測試治具,以一套測試治 具動辄以新台幣數千萬元計,實則是種資源的耗費。 【發明内容】 本發明之主要目的係在提供一種半導體元件測 試裝置及其方法,僅需對原有的測試治具最些微的改 良,即可應用於4、8、或16位元輸入/輸出位元的半 導體元件測試,可以減省記憶體元件製造廠或測試廠 對於機器設備的投資成本。 為達成上述之目的,本發明可藉由提供一種半導 體元件測試裝置,來測試一待測元件。根據本發明之 測試裝置包括:一對輸入接腳,待測元件耦接至等輸 入接腳中之一者;一第一導線,係耦接於等輸入接腳 間;一第二導線,係耦接於等輸入接腳間;一驅動器, 經由一第三導線耦接至第一導線;以及一終端器,經 由一第四導線耦接至第二導線。 再者,本發明尚提供一種半導體元件測試裝置, 用以測試一待測元件。根據本發明之測試裝置包括: 一第一輸入/輸出接腳與一第二輸入/輸出接腳,待測 元件耦接至第一輸入/輸出接腳;一匯流排,具有複 數導線,等導線中之一者耦接於第一輸入/輸出接腳 與第二輸入/輸出接腳間;一驅動器,當於輸入模式 下耦接至第一輸入/輸出接腳;一第一終端器,當於 8 1277747 輸出模式下搞接至第一輸入/輸出接腳;一比較器, 耦接至第二輸入/輸出接腳;以及一第二終端器,當 於輸出模式下柄接至第二輸入/輸出接腳。 【實施方式】 為能讓 貴審查委員能更瞭解本發明之技術内 容,特舉若干較佳具體實施例說明如下。

5之阻抗,使與電阻6 3阻值或驅動器6 Ο 内阻值R相當,則將可大幅降低因輸入接腳67Β浮 接所產生的反射效應。較佳而言,子導線621與622 之長度相當、以及子導線661與662之長度相當的 話,能有同樣傳遞延遲(propagation delay)時間而可 降低反射效果;更佳而言,子導線621、622、661與 662約略相等。 請參照圖七,所示為根據本發明應用於輸入/輸出

號PAT,同時致能信號/DRE禁能開關78 ;當於讀取 模式下,開關7 1和75經由OUTL信號之控制呈開啟 狀態,致能信號/DRE呈邏輯高準位禁能驅動器70, 致能開關78,使電阻72與電壓終端器73耦接至輸 入/輸出接腳79A,而電阻76與電壓終端器77耦接 至輸入/輸出接腳79B,由比較器74判別出此讀出資 料為邏輯高準位與邏輯低準位中之一者。根據本發 1277747

Invention]: The present invention relates to a high-speed semiconductor component testing device: and a test method thereof. [Prior Art] DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is a memory technology developed based on SDRAM. Unlike SDRAM synchronous random access memory, which supports only one data operation per computer clock cycle, DDR SDRAM can perform two data operations per clock cycle. Therefore, doubling the bandwidth of the billions also increases the amount of data transferred. Therefore, DDR SDRAM memory has been widely used in computer system platforms, including desktop computers, workstations, servers, notebook computers, portable computers, computer networks and communication products, and has become the mainstream product of memory technology. With the advancement of technology, the data rate of DDR SDRAM memory has been upgraded from 200/266MHz to 5 3 3/6 6 7MHz, and it is more likely to further increase to 800MHz/l.066GHz in the future. Therefore, the increase in frequency is also a difficult challenge for test technology. Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of a test system 1 applied to a DDR SDRAM memory. As shown in FIG. 1 , the test system 1 mainly includes a test machine 10 . For example, the test machine 10 is an Advantest 5 592/5 593 test machine manufactured by Advantest, and is mainly used for generating a test type. For example (testpa 11 er η). This test machine 1 can be divided into several test stations. If the test machine 10 is an Advantest 5592/5593 test machine, two test stations 12 and 14 are provided. Each test station 12 and 14 is connected to individual test fixtures 16 and 18, respectively, as shown in Figure 1. 5 1277747 Please refer to Figure 2, which shows a schematic diagram of the test fixture 16. As shown in FIG. 2, the test fixture 16 includes a test head 20, a common motherboard 22, a socket board 24, and the like. The test head 20 has components such as drivers and comparators for signal driving and comparison. The shared circuit module 22 has a coaxial cable for connecting the circuit module 22 and the socket module 24. The socket module 24 has a socket board (PCB) and a socket connector for fixing the integrated circuit component (1C). The component to be tested, or DUT, is inserted into the socket module 24. For the sake of simplicity, only two components 26A and 26B to be tested are depicted in Fig. 2. In fact, the Advantest 5 592/5 593 tester is used. For example, the number of components to be tested can be 64 or even up to 128. As shown in FIG. 2, the test head 20 is electrically coupled to the shared circuit module 22, and the shared circuit module 22 is electrically connected to the socket module 24. Since the pins of the components 26A and 26B to be tested can be divided into two types: an input terminal (calling 1^1^11) or an input/rounding terminal (1/〇1) 111. Referring to Figure 2, the circuit of the conventional test device 3 applied to the input terminal is not intended. The conventional test device 3 applied to the input end is disposed in the test fixture 16 of FIG. 2. The test device 3 mainly includes a driver 30 connected to the test via a pin 32 a. An input of component 26A is coupled to an input of component under test 26β via another pin 32B. In other words, the elements to be tested 26A and 26B are both driven and controlled by the driver 3''. However, the input/output terminals of the DDR SDRAM memory have a difference of 4, 8, and 16 bits. The connection mode of Figure 3 can be applied to the ddr SDRAM memory of 4 input/output bits το or 8 input/round bits. The test was not able to test the DDR SDRAM memory of 16 input/output bits. For 16-bit applications, even if 6 1277747 is required to float the pin 3 2B as shown in Figure 4, the driver 3 Ο can only correspond to one component 26 to be tested. At this time, since the impedance of the floating pin 3 2 很大 is large, the signal transmitted by the driver 30 will have a significant reflection effect, which affects the accuracy of the test, and the frequency of the signal increases. High, the reflection effect will be more severe. Referring to Figure 5, a schematic circuit diagram of a conventional test device 5 applied to the input/output terminals is shown. The conventional test device 5 applied to the input end is disposed in the test fixture 16 of FIG. 2. The test device 5 mainly includes: a driver 50, a switch 5 1 , a resistor 5 2, and a voltage terminator (v ο 11 agetermina 1 5 3, comparator 5 4, switch 5 5, resistor 5 6, voltage terminator 5 7 and so on. The input terminal of the driver 50 receives the test pattern PAT, and the output terminal is connected to the device under test 26A via the input/output pin 59A. In other words, the driver 50 corresponds to only one of the elements 26 to be tested. The switch 5 1 , the resistor 52 , the voltage terminator 53 , and the like are connected in series between the driver enable signal /DRE and the ground. The comparator 54 is connected to the input/output pin 59A. If data is read from the input/output pin 59A, the comparator 54 determines whether the data is a logic high level or a logic low level. The switch 5 5 , the resistor 5 6 , the voltage terminator 5 7 , etc. are connected in series between the input end of the comparator 54 and the ground point. In the write mode, switches 5 1 and 5 5 are turned off via the control of the OUTL signal, and the enable signal /DRE is logic low to enable the driver 50 to cause the output of the driver 50 output. Test pattern signal PAT; simultaneous enable signal / DRE disable switch 5 8; when in read mode, switches 5 1 and 5 5 are turned on via OUTL signal control, enable signal / DRE is logic high level (logic high), the disable driver 50, the enable switch 58, the resistor 52 and the voltage terminator 53 are coupled to the input/output pin 59A, and the comparator 54 determines that the read data is a logic high level. One of the logical low levels with 7 1277747. Similarly, the input/output terminal test device applied to the device under test 26B is also the same as or similar to that disclosed in FIG. In other words, the elements to be tested 26A and 26B cannot share the same driver. It is known that for 16-bit DDR SDRAM memory, in addition to designing test fixtures, users (usually memory component manufacturers or test plants) must purchase test fixtures separately, with a set of test fixtures. The NT$10 million is actually the cost of resources.
