Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process using data regarding manufacturing procedures a plurality of IC's have undergone to select manufacturing procedures the IC's will undergo, the IC's being of the type to have a substantially unique identification (ID) code, the process comprising:providing IC's comprising Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) IC's; storing data in association with the ID code of each of the IC's that identifies manufacturing procedures the IC's have undergone, said storing data including storing data for identifying repairs performed on the IC's and storing data that identifies spare rows and columns available to effect repairs in the DRAM IC's; automatically reading the ID code of each of the IC's; accessing the data stored in association with the ID code of each of the IC's; and selecting manufacturing procedures the IC's undergo in accordance with the accessed data; and assembling the IC's into packaged IC devices after the step of storing data and before the step of automatically reading the ID code of each of the IC's.
