Abstract
A method of accepting semiconductor chips is provided using on-chip parametric measurements. An on-chip parametric measurement structure is determined for each parameter in a set of parametric acceptance criteria. An on-chip parametric measurement macro is included in a design of each semiconductor chip for each identified on-chip parametric measurement structure. Each on-chip parametric measurement macro is tested to determine compliance of the semiconductor chip to the set of parametric acceptance criteria. Compliance to the set of parametric acceptance criteria is validated.
