ABSTRACT:
A method, an apparatus and a computer program product are provided for implementing At-Speed Wafer Final Test (WFT) with total integrated circuit chip coverage including high speed off-chip receiver and driver input/output (I/O) circuits. An integrated circuit (IC) chip includes off-chip Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) nodes and a driver and a receiver of the off-chip receiver and driver input/output (I/O) circuits connected to respective off-chip C4 nodes. Through Silicon Vias (TSVs) are added to the connections of the driver and the receiver and the respective off-chip C4 nodes to a backside of the IC chip. A metal wire is added to the IC chip backside connecting the TSVs and creating a connection path between the driver and the receiver that is used for the at-speed WFT testing of the I/O circuits.
