ABSTRACT:
A system and method for reducing voltage stabilization time in a leakage current test system, and thereby reducing the time for measuring leakage currents in the I/O pins of an IC chip including CMOS DRAMs is disclosed. The method and system of the present invention accelerates leakage current testing time by precharging the capacitance of the I/O pins under test to a voltage near the settled voltage level, before measuring leakage current at the I/O pin contact points of packaged IC chips and assembled IC modules, and indicating when an I/O pin is defective.
