Abstract:
A method and system are provided for chip testing. The method includes selectively deploying a chip for future use or discarding the chip to prevent the future use, responsive to a stress history of the chip determined using a non-destructive test procedure. The test procedure includes ordering each of a plurality of functional patterns by a respective minimum operating period corresponding thereto. The test procedure further includes ranking each of the plurality of patterns based on at least one preceding available pattern to provide a plurality of pattern ranks. The test procedure also includes calculating a sum by summing the plurality of pattern ranks. The sum calculated during an initial performance of the test procedure is designated as a baseline, and the sum calculated during a subsequent performance of the test procedure is compared to a threshold derived from the baseline to determine the stress history of the chip.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pattern ranks comprises a rank for a current one of the plurality of patterns being ranked, and further comprises a starting pattern and an ending pattern, the starting pattern representing an imaginary pattern having an operating period less than the respective minimum operating period of all of the plurality of patterns, and the ending pattern representing an imaginary pattern having the operating period greater than the respective minimum operating period of all of the plurality of patterns.
