Abstract:
Method of burn-in power optimization which includes: testing integrated circuit devices to record a performance speed for each of the integrated circuit devices; categorizing each integrated circuit device by a selective voltage binning (SVB) process into a voltage bin according to the performance speed of the integrated circuit device; performing a burn-in operation on each of the integrated circuit devices while toggling an SVB performance monitor on each of the integrated circuit devices; testing the plurality of integrated circuit devices after the burn-in operation; categorizing each integrated circuit device into the SVB voltage bin according to the performance speed of the integrated circuit device after the burn-in operation; when the SVB voltage bin after the burn-in operation corresponds to an SVB voltage bin having a slower performance speed than before the burn-in operation, changing the SVB voltage bin to the slower performance speed.
