Abstract:
As multi-die chip packages gain popularity, testing dice without direct access to the package IO1 presents a challenge. This paper describes a scan SerDes implementation [1] [2] designed to transfer test or scan data between the IO-die (the die with direct access to the package IO) and core-dice (other function-specific dice within the package) of a multi-die package. The key objective is to keep the implementation transparent to ATPG2 tools, allowing it to be viewed as a fixed number of pipeline stages, thereby minimizing programming overhead for ATPG patterns. Additionally, this approach enables wafer sort structural test patterns to be re-used at the package test stage without modification. Our solution is especially well-suited for multi-die packages with narrow die-to-die interconnect links, where the limited bandwidth can become a bottleneck for parallel test data transfer.
