This paper presents a novel memory test algorithm, named alternate hammering test, to detect the pairwise word-line hammering faults for application-specific DRAMs. Unlike previous hammering tests, which require excessively long test time, the alternate hammering test is designed scalable to industrial DRAM arrays by considering the array layout for potential fault sites and the highest DRAM-access frequency in real system applications. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed alternate hammering test are validated through the test application to an eDRAM macro embedded in a storage-application SoC. |
