Abstract: Examples described herein provide determining skew of transistors on an integrated circuit. In an example, an integrated circuit includes a ring oscillator and first and second detector circuits. The ring oscillator includes serially connected buffers. Each buffer includes serially connected inverters that include transistors. A transistor of each buffer has a different strength of another transistor of the respective buffer. The first and second detector circuits are connected to different first and second tap nodes, respectively, along the serially connected buffers. The first detector circuit is configured to count a number of cycles of a reference clock that a cyclic signal on the first tap node is either a logically high or low level. The second detector circuit is configured to count a number of cycles of the reference clock that a cyclic signal on the second tap node is either a logically high or low level.

Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to wafer testing and structures implemented on a wafer for wafer testing. In an example method for testing a wafer, power is applied to a first pad in a test site (TS) region on the wafer. The TS region is electrically connected to a device under test (DUT) region on the wafer. The DUT region includes a DUT. The TS region and DUT region are in a first and second scribe line, respectively, on the wafer. A third scribe line is disposed on the wafer between the TS region and the DUT region. A signal is detected from a second pad in the TS region on the wafer. The signal is at least in part a response of the DUT to the power applied to the first pad.

Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to testing of bonded wafers and structures implemented for such testing. In an example method, power is applied to a first pad on a stack of bonded wafers. A wafer of the stack includes a process control monitor (PCM) region that includes structure regions. Each structure region is a device under test region, dummy region, and/or chain interconnect region (CIR). The stack includes a serpentine chain test structure (SCTS) electrically connected between first and second metal features in the wafer in first and second CIRs, respectively, in the PCM region. The SCTS includes segments, one or more of which are disposed between neighboring structure regions in the PCM region that are not the first and second CIRs. A signal is detected from a second pad on the stack. The first and second pads are electrically connected to the first and second metal features, respectively.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a memory cell (e.g., a SRAM memory cell) that includes power selection logic for disconnecting storage inverters from a reference voltage source when writing data into the cell. In one embodiment, the memory cells may be disposed long distances (e.g., more than 100 microns) from the data drivers in the integrated circuit which can result in the data lines having large RC time constants. In one embodiment, disconnecting the memory cells from a power supply may counter (or mitigate) the large RC time constants of the data lines.
