Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to integrated circuit devices having through silicon vias (TSVs). In one embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) device includes a field of TSVs and an address decoder that selectably couples at least one of the TSVs to at least one of a test input and a test evaluation circuit. In another embodiment, a method includes selecting one or more TSVs from a field of TSVs in at least one IC device, and coupling each selected TS V to at least one of a test input and a test evaluation circuit.
