Abstract

Methods for testing integrated circuits (ICs) are provided. An embodiment of a method comprises: electrically interconnecting automated test equipment (ATE) with the IC; providing at least one stimulus such that the IC determines the presence of a leakage current of the first pad; and receiving information corresponding to the leakage current of the first pad. Systems also are provided.
