    摘要: Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include forming a metallic fuse structure by forming at least one via on a first interconnect structure, lining the at least one via with a barrier layer, and then forming a second interconnect structure on the at least one via.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention enable detection of edge damages in semiconductor devices. To this purpose, one or more continuity structures may be provided, where each structure comprises an undulating arrangement disposed between active circuits of the semiconductor device and a perimeter of the metallization layers. The continuity structure(s) forms one or more conductive paths intersecting a plurality of metallization layers in the semiconductor device. A relative change in an electrical characteristic of the continuity structure(s) is monitored to ascertain whether or not an edge damage is present.

    摘要: A microelectronic die including a CMOS ring oscillator thereon, and a method of using the same. The microelectronic die includes: a die substrate; and a plurality of CMOS ring oscillators on the die substrate, the ring oscillators being disposed at regions of the die substrate that are adapted to exhibit differing strain responses to package-included stress with respect to one another. A method of determining mechanical stress on a die which includes providing a die substrate in a CMOS ring oscillator on a die substrate. A frequency counter is coupled to the ring oscillator to measure a frequency of the ring oscillator to generate a frequency data signal therefrom. The frequency data signal is used to determine the mechanical stress on the die at a location of the ring oscillator.
