A testable design method for electrical testing is proposed in this paper to detect open defects occurring at interconnects between dies in a 3D IC and locate the defective interconnects. An IEEE 1149.1 test circuit is utilized to provide a test input vector to a targeted interconnect in the electrical tests.
Feasibility of the electrical tests is evaluated by Spice simulation. It is shown by the experiments that a hard open defect and a resistive open defect can be detected at a test speed of 1GHz.
