    摘要: A method and structure for an integrated circuit comprising a first transistor and an embedded carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNT FET) proximate to the first transistor, wherein the CNT FET is dimensioned smaller than the first transistor. The CNT FET is adapted to sense signals from the first transistor, wherein the signals comprise any of temperature, voltage, current, electric field, and magnetic field signals. Moreover, the CNT FET is adapted to measure stress and strain in the integrated circuit, wherein the stress and strain comprise any of mechanical and thermal stress and strain. Additionally, the CNT FET is adapted to detect defective circuits within the integrated circuit.

    摘要: A diagnostic system and method for testing an integrated circuit during fabrication thereof. The diagnostic system has at least one integrated circuit chip that has an electrical signature associated with it; a sacrificial circuit that is adjacent to the integrated circuit chip and has a known electrical signature associated with it and intentionally mis-designed circuitry; and a comparator adapted to compare the electrical signature of the integrated circuit chip with the known electrical signature of the sacrificial circuit, wherein a match in the electrical signature of the integrated circuit chip with the known electrical signature of the sacrificial circuit indicates that the integrated circuit chip is mis-designed. The diagnostic system further includes a semiconductor wafer that has a plurality of integrated circuit chips and a kerf area separating one integrated circuit chip from another integrated circuit chip. A mis-designed integrated circuit chip has abnormally functioning circuitry.
