    摘要: An interconnect structure of an integrated circuit having improved reliability and a method for forming the same are provided. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a dielectric layer overlying the substrate, performing a first shrinking process, wherein the dielectric layer shrinks and has a first shrinkage rate, forming a conductive feature in the dielectric layer after the step of performing the first shrinking process, and performing a second shrinking process after the step of forming the conductive feature, wherein the dielectric layer substantially shrinks and has a second shrinkage rate.

    摘要: An interconnect structure includes: a plurality of dielectric layers having aligned process control monitor (PCM) pads, and a conductive structure above a topmost one of the PCM pads. The conductive structure electrically connects the topmost PCM pad to a device under test above a level of the topmost PCM pad. The conductive structure is sized and shaped so as to leave a majority portion of the topmost PCM pad exposed for access by a test probe.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is disclosed. The device includes a substrate and a first wiring layer overlying the substrate. The first wiring layer comprises a first wiring area surrounded by a first seal ring. The first seal ring comprises a first monitor circuit isolated by a first dielectric layer embedded in the first seal ring. The first monitor circuit is responsive to a predetermined amount of deformation occurs in the third dielectric layer.

    摘要: An integrated circuit parametric testline providing increased test pattern areas is disclosed. The testline comprises a dielectric layer over a substrate, a plurality of probe pads over the dielectric layer, and a first device under test (DUT) formed in the testline in a space underlying the probe pads. The testline may also include a second DUT, which is formed in a space underlying the probe pads overlying the first DUT in an overlaying configuration. The testline may further include a polygon shaped probe pad structure providing an increased test pattern area between adjacent probe pads.
