Patent ID: 7230442

Claim:
A method for testing semiconductor components, comprising: a training phase, comprising, performing a first training test on a plurality of semiconductor devices to obtain first training test result data, performing a second training test on the plurality of semiconductor devices to obtain second training test result data, performing a third training test on the plurality of semiconductor devices to obtain third training test result data, and analyzing the first training test result data, the second training test result data and the third training test result data to determine a pattern for semiconductor devices in which the first training test result data and the second training test result data indicate an acceptable semiconductor device and the third training result data indicates a failed semiconductor device, and a testing phase, comprising, performing a first test on a semiconductor device to obtain first test result data, performing a second test on the semiconductor device to obtain second test result data, and using a microprocessor based device to analyze the first test result data and the second test result data to predict if the semiconductor device would pass a third test based on the pattern determined in the training phase.
