    摘要: By forming a large metal pad and removing any excess material thereof, a pronounced recessed surface topography may be obtained, which may also affect the further formation of a metallization layer of a semiconductor device, thereby increasing the probability of maintaining metal residues above the recessed surface topography. Consequently, by providing test metal lines in the area of the recessed surface topography, the performance of a respective CMP process may be estimated with increased efficiency.

    摘要: A test structure or a circuit element acting temporarily as a test structure may be provided within the die region of sophisticated semiconductor devices, while probe pads may be located in the frame in order to not unduly consume valuable die area. The electrical connection between the test structure and the probe pads may be established by a conductive path including a buried portion, which extends from the die region into the frame below a die seal, thereby maintaining the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the die seal. Hence, enhanced availability of electrical measurement data and superior authenticity of the data may be accomplished, wherein the measurement data may be obtained during the production process.
