Abstract: A memory device can include a first portion having a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells and a first via chain segment for performing a test operation. The memory device can include a second portion comprising processing circuitry and a second via chain segment for performing the test operation. The memory device can also include an interconnect coupling the first portion and the second portion, the interconnect comprising a third via chain segment, wherein the first via chain segment, second via chain segment, and third via chain segment can be selected independently.

Abstract: A microelectronic chip device includes a semiconductor substrate and multiple on-chip strain sensors (OCSSs) constructed on the substrate at various locations of the substrate. The OCSSs may each include multiple piezoresistive devices configured to sense a strain at a location of the various locations and produce a strain signal representing the strain at that location. A strain measurement circuit may also be constructed on the semiconductor substrate and configured to measure strain parameters from the strain signals produced by the OCSSs. The strain parameters represent the strains at the various location. Values of the strain parameters can be used for analysis of mechanical stress on the chip device.

Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods of fabricating the apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes a substrate of a semiconductor die; a memory cell portion located over a first portion of the substrate; a conductive pad portion located over a second portion of the substrate and outside the memory cell portion; and a sensor circuit including a portion located over the second portion of the substrate and under the conductive pad portion. The conductive pad portion includes conductive pads. Each of the conductive pads is part of a respective electrical path coupled to a conductive contact of a base outside the substrate.

Abstract: A microelectronic chip device includes a semiconductor substrate and multiple on-chip strain sensors (OCSS s) constructed on the substrate at various locations of the substrate. The OCSSs may each include multiple piezoresistive devices configured to sense a strain at a location of the various locations and produce a strain signal representing the strain at that location. A strain measurement circuit may also be constructed on the semiconductor substrate and configured to measure strain parameters from the strain signals produced by the OCSSs.
