Abstract :
Testing single part number wafers is the normal mode of testing semiconductor devices in the industry today. However, as wafers get larger it may become more economical to put different devices on the same wafer resulting in multiple part number wafers. The authors describe a system architecture that allows for the testing of such wafers.<>
