Abstract:
On-chip test architecture and design-for-testability methods for pre-bond testing of TSVs are provided. In accordance with certain embodiments of the invention, a die level wrapper is provided including gated scan flops connected to one end of each TSV. The gated scan flops include a scan flop structure and a gated output. The gated output is controlled by a signal to cause the output of the gated scan flop to either be in a “floated state” or take the value stored in the flip-flop portion of the gated scan flop. The gated output of the gated scan flop can be used to enable resistance and capacitance measurements of pre-bonded TSVs.
