Description of the invention (丨) The present invention relates to a test circuit for recording billion-body components, and in particular, to a content-addressable memory (CAM, Qontent) Addressable Memory) is used as a test circuit for memory components to save a lot of test time. When the memory density of integrated circuits is getting larger, the time required for testing and repairing is very long, and relatively, it also increases the cost. In the memory process, the previous method is to write every bit into the data and then read it out. The test machine has a memory to write down and read the data patterns, then compare them one by one, and find out the wrong bit. The method for reducing the test time, for example, is to use a multi-bit test mode and test 4 to 8 bits at the same time, which can reduce the test time to about 1/4 or 1/8. However, this multi-bit test method is limited by area and cannot be used for simultaneous testing of more than 16 bits. In addition, in the IEEE magazine numbered 0018-9200 / 89 / 1000-1184, Kazutami Arimoto et al. Mentioned a method related to the Line Mode Test, which has improved the memory test considerably. , Can reduce the test time to about 1/1000. However, this method can only be measured when there is an error bit in any row of the address, and the results of input and output cannot be distinguished properly. Therefore, the efficiency of patching is low, which is not the above-mentioned result. The test time is long; and an additional pad must be provided, and the production of the test card and the test machine are not easy to match. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a test circuit capable of saving a large amount of time for testing and repairing semiconductors. When reading and comparing data, errors on the entire word line can be found and processed in a clock cycle. Repair; and no additional pads are required, just use the original paper on the wafer. 3 paper sizes are applicable to Chinese National Standards (CNS) A # 哥格 (2〗 0 X 2V7 male touch) --------- install -------, 1Τ ------ 〆 '[(Please read the precautions on the back before writing this page 4) I * I * The Ministry of Economic Affairs publishes the print of 扃 Chung Kung Consumer Cooperative 9 9 Β 1892twf.d〇c / 008 V.

Description of the Invention (仏) To control the storage of data. The action of the row address COL / ′ is controlled by the data on the data line DU / = o, 1,2, ...) and the complementary data line ΰΓ7 via the transistor 100 and the transistor 101. The sense amplifier 12 is used to compare the voltage in the memory cell 10 with a reference voltage in the sense amplifier 12 to determine whether the data stored in the memory cell 10 is "Γ" or "0". The memory The test circuit is controlled by a test control signal TESTen, and the test is compared according to the data line DLi, the complementary data line "5L7" and the row address COL /, and then a matching signal is generated ^^ 17 (/ = 0, 1, 2 ...), if the output of the matching signal 1 匹配 × Ϊ7 is low, it means that the memory cell 10 is normal, and if the output of the matching signal MAT / is high, it means that the memory cell 10 is wrong. When the memory cell 10 is being tested, the steps are as follows: 1. First, enable the test control signal TESTen (located at the high level), and raise the preset potential 100 from the low level to the high level. Originally, the preset potential When i is at a low level, the transistor 102 is in a conducting state, so Match / at the comparison result output terminal will produce a low-level output. The transistor 102 is a preset potential control device, for example, it is composed of a PMOS. Here, At the same time raise the preset potential i At the highest level, the transistor 102 is turned off, so that the output of Match / at the comparison result output terminal can be controlled by the memory test circuit 14 without affecting the recording of the test result. When the output of Match? At the comparison result output terminal is maintained at a low level Punctuality means that the test result is normal; if it is maintained at a high level, it means that the test result is abnormal. 2.

Description of the invention (f) ′. 3. After the data is written into the memory cell 10, all row address COUs are closed, so that the memory test circuit 14 can compare the stored data of the memory cell 10 with the data line DL / or the complementary data line. " Whether the data on 5E7 match. The memory test circuit 14 used here is composed of, for example, four NMOS as shown in the figure. 4. Select a character line WLj ′ in sequence, and set the character line WLy to a high level, and test each memory cell 10 on the entire character line. At the same time, the data originally written in the memory cell 10 is input to the data line DL / and the complementary data line Έΰ. 5. The memory test circuit M compares the stored data of the memory cell 10 with the data on the data line DL / or the complementary data line ΰυ, and then compares the result to produce an output that matches the signal ΜAΊ7. The comparison method is described as follows: (1) When the data of the data line DL / is 1, that is, the data of the complementary data line " 5Γ7, the data is 0, because the stored data of the memory cell 10 is 1, and the test The control signal TESTEN is at a high level, so that the test transistor of the gate input test control signal TESTen is turned on. At this time, the drain of the test transistor is extremely low, and the drain of the transistor 104 is also low. Because the gate of the transistor 104 is connected to the memory cell 10 and the gate of the transistor 106 is connected to the data line D1 /, because the data of the memory cell 10 and the data line DL / are both 1 (that is, Micro Motion) Bit), so the transistor 104 and the transistor 106 are both in a conducting state. Therefore, the output of the matching signal MAT7 is at a low level (the source potential of the NMOS in the on state). If the stored data of the memory cell 10 is wrong, the transistor 104 cannot be in the on state, so the 7 is matched. ----- Line (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Employee Cooperatives This paper is printed in accordance with Chinese National Standards < CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 4 3 67 9 8 1892twfl.doc / 002 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the invention (') The output of the signal MAT / is at a high level, indicating that this memory cell 10 is abnormal. (2) When the data of the data line DL / is 0, that is, the data 1 on the complementary data line ΰΓ7, because the stored data of the memory cell 10 is 0, and the test control signal TESTw is also at a high level, so that The test transistor of the gate input test control signal TESTen is turned on. At this time, the drain of the test transistor is at a very low level, and the drain of the transistor 108 is also at a low level. Because the gate of transistor 104 is connected to the drain of transistor 101 and the gate of transistor 106 is connected to the data line " 5E7, because the data of the drain of transistor 101 and data line H7 are both 1 (that is, High level), so transistor 108 and transistor 110 are both in a conducting state. Therefore, the output of the matching signal ¥ × ϊ7 is at a low level. If the stored data of the memory cell 10 is incorrect, the transistor 108 cannot be in the on state, so that the output of the matching signal ¥ × 7 is high, indicating that the memory cell 10 is abnormal. 6. The matching signal MAT / is output to the gate of transistor 112, such as the gate of an NMOS transistor, and produces an out-of-phase output at the drain of transistor 112. For example, when the output of the matching signal MAT7 is at a low level, the transistor 112 is turned off, and a high level is generated at the drain of the transistor 112, and this level is maintained by the latch circuit 16, so the inverter 114 is used. After that, the output of Match / at the output of the comparison result is at a low level; if the output of the matching signal MAT / is at a high level, the transistor 112 is turned on, and a low level is generated at the drain of the transistor 112 and passed through the latch circuit 16 maintains this level, so the output of Match / 'at the comparison result output is high. Therefore, when the output of Match / at the output of the comparison result is at a low level, it means that the 8 paper sizes are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ----------- i-- -Install ---- l ·! — Order ·! -Line (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page). 4 3 6 7 9 〇1892twfl.doc / 〇〇2 Employee Consumer Cooperatives, Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed 5. Description of the invention (q) The billion cell unit 10 is normal; if it is at a high level, it means that the billion cell unit 10 has an error. The matching signal 1 ^ χΪ7 passes through the transistor 112, the latch circuit 16 and the inverter. 114, and then match / output from the comparison result output terminal to avoid affecting the recorded results of the memory after the test. In this way, the comparison result of the entire word line can be read out at one time, and those bits can be known There is an error, and there is no need to compare the individual bits and then repair them. Repeat the above steps until all the errors on the word line WL / are read out. Therefore, if it is on a character line With 128 row addresses, the test time is 1/128 of the original; if it is on a character line There are 1024 row addresses on it, so the test time is 1/1024 of the original. Actually, when testing the memory components, a lot of memory blocks 20 are included. Please refer to FIG. The block diagram of the above-mentioned memory element test circuit of the present invention. Therefore, at the start of the test, when the test control signal TESTe ^ U of a memory block 20: = 0, 1, 2, ... is the serial number of the memory block) After that, the following test steps are generated: 1. Select a character line WU / in each memory block 20, and each character line WL_ / has a corresponding output / input control signal 10). The row address COL / is placed in a conducting state, and data is written into each memory cell 10. 2. After the data is written to the memory cell 10, turn off all the row addresses COL /, and then start the test. As described above, each memory cell 10 has an output corresponding to the matching signal ¥ ^. Until the comparison result output end outputs a record of all error bits of this memory block 20 ------------------ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling (This page) rr 矣 良 ^ Paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) A7 A7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs / 0 02 β7 I Invention Description (Guest) . The result is output to the test record port 24 through the output buffer 22 to the interesting record. 3. Continue selecting the next character line WU 'for each memory area 20 until the memory test is completed, and then perform fuse repair on the entire character line. Among them, when the memory block 20 is used for normal reading and writing, the multiplexer 26 chooses to output the result of the output / input control signal i0y to the output buffer 22; when the memory block 20 starts testing, the multiplexing The device 26 chooses to output the result of the comparison result output Match / · to the output buffer 22 ° In the traditional method, normal reading and writing is to access one word line at a time in a certain memory block. However, the present invention reads and writes a certain character line in all the memory blocks at the same time, so the read and write time of the character lines of each memory block is saved. For example, in the traditional method of reading and writing, only the character lines of a certain memory block are selected for reading and writing in the n memory blocks, the character lines of the n memory blocks need to be read and written one by one. It needs to be done a total of η 'and this rule only needs to be done once. As described above, in the first clock cycle, the data of each word line can be written for comparison; and, after the wrong message is read, it is not necessary to restart each For a character line wl_ /, it is only required to output the test result of the character line WLy in each memory block 20 to the test recording port 24 for recording. Therefore, the test time period required to turn on the character line every time can be omitted, because when the reading of the character line in each memory block 20 is replaced, it only needs to be replaced from the comparison result output terminal 1 ^ 7. 'As in the general memory page address mode, only the line position needs to be changed. 10 This paper size applies to the national standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) nil —-------- i I — L · III Order ——l I — (Read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) A7 4.3 6 7 9 〇1892twfl.doc / 002 5. The invention description (1) The address can be the same. In addition, since each error bit has been recorded, there is no need to read it out through the row address again. In summary, in the present invention, if 1024 bits can be activated on a column address, the test period can be saved to 1/1024; if it is a row address strobe (RAS) The time period is 60 nanoseconds (nS). Generally speaking, the comparison result output terminal iatch / is read below 10nS, so the comparison result output terminal Match / of each memory block can read about Reading time is saved to about 1/6. Each time period can be saved to 1/6, and each test period can be saved to 1/1024, so the entire test time can be saved to (1/6) χ (1/1024) = 1/6144. It is very helpful for product yield. In the above-mentioned test process, if a more complicated test mode is needed, ‘just ground the test control signal TESTew, and then you can resume normal memory chip operation. Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows a timing diagram of a memory device test circuit according to the present invention. At the beginning of the test, the memory test control signal TESTEfu (i: = 0, i, 2 ..., is the serial number of the memory block) is enabled, and rises from a low level to a high level; then, at the column address After the Row ADD is sent, when the low-enabled column address selection signal RAS drops to a low level (for example, about 60 nanoseconds), the character lines of each memory block are turned on. At this time, the data lines DLy The data is loaded into the memory; when the low-enable writing signal drops to a low level, the data is written into the memory cell 10; finally, after comparing the results, the memory block addresses BAvKkO are sequentially written, l, 2 ..., the serial numbers of the memory blocks) are output simultaneously (for example, both are 10 nanoseconds), and the test results are based on the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇χ 297 public) Li) ---!
