ABSTRACT:
A structure for measuring electrical and physical characteristics of a semiconductor region includes a semiconductor region having a first portion of width W.sub.1 and a second portion of width W.sub.2, wherein W.sub.1 is not equal to W.sub.2. First, second, third and fourth contact areas to the semiconductor region are disposed in seriatim such that the second portion of the semiconductor region extends between the third and fourth contact areas. A bonding pad is electrically connected to each of the contact areas for supplying current to predetermined pairs of the contact areas and for measuring the voltage across predetermined pairs of the contact areas.
