Abstract
In a method to verify a mask for a mask ROM, a serial of random codes that are exclusive to each other are implanted into a plurality of wafers manufactured by a same process with the mask or a plurality of die regions in a single wafer manufactured by a same process with the mask, and then the test results derived from the implanted wafers or die regions are compared to determine if the mask is defective.
