Abstract:
In an integrated circuit having a plurality of modules and/or submodules that each performs a substantially same function, defective modules and/or submodules are determined by creating a test signature from an input test pattern. The output of each module and/or submodule is compared with the test signature and defective modules to identify defective modules and/or submodules. The identity of defective modules/submodules is stored on the integrated circuit for subsequent use by a customer. Integrated circuits having one or more defective modules/submodules are sold to customers with full disclosure of which modules/submodules are defective, thereby improving the yield associated with the product. Pricing of the product is discounted for products with less than full functionality.
