    Abstract: In one embodiment, a capacitor includes a first row including a first capacitor element and a second capacitor element coupled in parallel, and a second row including a third capacitor element and a fourth capacitor element coupled in parallel. The first row is coupled in series with the second row. In a metallization level over a workpiece, the second capacitor element is disposed between the first capacitor element and the third capacitor element. In the metallization level, the third capacitor element is disposed between the second capacitor element and the fourth capacitor element. The first, the second, the third, and the fourth capacitor elements are disposed in the metallization level.

    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer includes dielectric regions of different thicknesses, some of the dielectric regions being thinner and other ones of the dielectric regions being thicker. The semiconductor wafer further includes a stress circuit operable to stress at least one of the dielectric regions internally within the semiconductor wafer for assessing dielectric reliability. A corresponding method of internally assessing dielectric reliability of a semiconductor technology is also provided.
