Summary :

We propose an advanced hyper parallel testing method which improves the line-mode test method by adding data inversion registers which we call the Advanced Line-mode Test (ALT). This testing method has the same testing capability as the conventional bit-by-bit and multi-bit test method (MBT), because it enables the application of a high sensitive and practical test patterns under the hyper parallel condition. The testing time for fixed data patterns are reduced by 1/1900 (all-0/1, checker board, and etc.). Moreover, the ALT can be applicable to the continuous patterns (march, walking, and etc.). The ALT improved from the line-mode test with registers and comparators (LTR) is able to applicable to the most test patterns and to reduce the testing time remarkably, and is suitable for the ULSI memories.
