This paper presents an ECC-based method named “Through-Silicon-Via On Communication Test” (TSV-OCT) to detect and localize faults without halting the operation of TSV-based 3D-IC systems. We first propose Statistical Detector, a method to detect open and short defects in TSVs that work in parallel with data transactions. Second, we propose an Isolation and Check algorithm to enhance the localization ability of the method. Moreover, the Monte-Carlo simulations show that the proposed Statistical Detector increases ×2 the number of detected faults when compared to conventional ECC-based techniques. With the help of Isolation and Check, TSV-OCT localizes the number of defects up to ×4 and ×5 higher. In addition, the response time is kept below 65,000 cycles which could be easily integrated into real-time applications. On the other hand, an implementation of TSV-OCT on a 3D Network- on-Chip router shows no performance degradation for testing while having a reasonable area overhead. date: 2019 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8894077 id_number: 10.1109/TVLSI.2019.2948878 full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems refereed: TRUE issn: 1063-8210 funders: NAFOSTED citation: Dang, Nam Khanh and Ahmed, Akram Ben and Abdallah, Abderazek Ben and Tran, Xuan Tu (2019) TSV-OCT: A Scalable Online Multiple-TSV Defects Localization for Real-Time 3-D-IC Systems.
