N2 - The three-dimensional (3D) random access memory (RAM) using through-silicon via (TSV) has been considered as a promising approach to overcome the memory wall. However, cost and yield are two key issues for volume production of 3D RAMs, and yield enhancement increasingly requires test techniques. In this paper, we first introduce issues and existing techniques for the testing and yield enhancement of 3D RAMs. Then, a built-in self-repair (BISR) technique for 3D RAM using global redundancy is presented. According to the redundancy analysis results of each die with the BISR circuit, the die-to-die (d2d) and wafer-to-wafer (w2w) stacking problems are transferred to the bipartite maximal matching problem. Then, heuristic algorithms are also proposed to optimize the stacking yield.
