Patent ID: 7126196

Claim:
A printed-circuit-board (PCB) supporting electrically-programmable three-dimensional memory (EP-3DM)-based self-test (EP-3DMST), comprising: a first integrated circuit (IC) chip, comprising: a substrate circuit, said substrate circuit further comprising a circuit-under-test (CUT) and a peripheral circuit; an EP-3DM stacked on said substrate circuit and connected with said peripheral circuit through a plurality of inter-level connecting vias, said EP-3DM comprising at least an EP-3DM level; wherein at least a portion of said EP-3DM stores at least of a portion of test data and/or test-data seeds for at least a portion of said CUT; a second IC chip under-test, wherein at least a portion of said EP-3DM stores at least of a portion of test data and/or test-data seeds for at least a portion of said second IC chip under-test.
