SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WIRELESS DEVICE TESTING
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
a test block comprising a test module configured to test at least one of a logic circuit or a memory of the device;
a wireless connectivity module configured to wirelessly communicate with a tester device; and
at least one processor of one or more processors configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor of the one or more processors is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to;
determine, using the wireless connectivity module, a wireless connection between the device and the tester device;
receive, using the wireless connectivity module over the wireless connection, a signal from the tester device, the signal comprising a first data including a manufacturing test for the at least one of the logic circuit or the memory of the device;
cause to send the first data to the test module of the test block;
receive from the test module, a second data indicative of a result of the manufacturing test of the at least one of the logic circuit or the memory of the device; and
cause to send, using the wireless connectivity module, over the wireless connection, the second data to the tester device.

Abstract
The disclosed systems, devices, and methods may provide for wireless testing of devices and, in particular, wireless testing of semiconductor devices comprising integrated circuits, memory, and logic circuitry that can be present on a wafer. The semiconductor devices can be tested for functional defects by applying one or more test patterns to the semiconductor devices. Further, for devices under test that do not have built-in wireless connectivity (for example, those that do not have a built-in Bluetooth low-energy engine), the disclosure describes systems and methods that the devices under test can use for external wireless connectivity (e.g., an external board having Bluetooth low-energy) on the low-bandwidth interface. In one example embodiment, for high-bandwidth scan testing, wireless connectivity modules (such as those implementing WiFi or WiGig) are described, which can be used to meet the bandwidth requirements of the one or more tests.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
determining, by the processor, a wireless connection between a device and a tester device; receiving, by the processor, over the wireless connection, a signal from the tester device, the signal comprising a first data including a manufacturing test for at least one of the logic circuit or the memory of the device; causing to send, by the processor, the first data to a test module of a test block of the device; receiving, by the processor, from the test module, a second data indicative of a result of the manufacturing test of the at least one of the logic circuit or the memory of the device; and causing to send, by the processor, over the wireless connection, the second data to the tester device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
