ABSTRACT:
A first test structure (40) is used to measure both the gate resistance/linewidth and transistor performance. A gate line (42) crosses a moat region (44) with source (48) and drain (50) regions formed on either side of the gate line (42). The gate line (42) is connected to four probe pads (52) in an H configuration for accurate linewidth measurements. A second test structure (70) may be used alone or in conjunction with the first test structure. A single gate line (72) crosses a moat region (74) several times. This allows both capacitance and gate gate-resistance measurements with the same test structure and for more accurate TLD measurement.
