Abstract:
An apparatus of three-dimensional integrated-circuit (3D-IC) chip is provided. The apparatus uses a test through-silicon-via (TSV). The test TSV is used as a redundant TSV operated under a normal mode. Vice versa, the test TSV is remained to be used as a traditional test TSV under a scan mode. The present invention significantly reduces the number of redundant TSVs and the production cost of the chip.
