Embodiments of a method for fabricating an integrated circuit having a backside test structure are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, forming at least one Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) through the semiconductor substrate, forming a backside probe pad over the backside of the semiconductor substrate and electrically coupled to the at least one TSV, and forming a frontside bondpad over the frontside of the semiconductor substrate. The frontside bondpad is electrically coupled to the backside probe pad by the at least one TSV.
