ABSTRACT:
A method and system for detecting a potential reliability problem cause by electrical bridging in an integrated circuit. A voltage difference is created between two conducting lines in the integrated circuit to accelerate the bridging effect for a predetermined period of time. The conducting lines are detected to determine whether an undesired connection has occurred due to the bridging effect between the conducting lines.
