Abstract: The present invention provides a test key structure for measuring or simulating a target via array. The structure includes a substrate with a test region, a plurality of first conductive lines in the test region; a plurality of second conductive lines in the test region and on the first conductive lines, wherein the first conductive lines and the second conductive lines overlaps vertically in a plurality of target regions, and a plurality of vias disposed between the first conductive lines and the second conductive lines, wherein at least two vias vertically contact one of the first conductive lines and one of the second conductive lines. The present invention further provides a method of measuring resistance by using the testkey structure.

Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor includes the following steps. First, a substrate is provided. A dielectric layer is formed over the substrate. A first patterning process is performed to form a first contact plug through the whole thickness of the dielectric layer and a second patterning process is performed to form a second contact plug in the dielectric layer and spaced apart from the first contact plug in a pre-determined distance, wherein the first contact plug and the second contact plug are capacitively coupled.
