Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a processing block which comprises one or more intellectual property (IP) blocks; a scan chain which is electrically connected to the IP blocks, wherein the scan chain block has a scan in (SI) terminal and a scan out (SO) terminal; a pattern generating circuit which generates a data pattern having a plurality of bits and inputs the data pattern to the scan in (SI) terminal of the scan chain; and an analyzing circuit which determines the degree of degradation of each of the IP blocks based on a result pattern output from the scan out (SO) terminal of the scan chain.
