ABSTRACT:
A method of modifying a semiconductor device to provide electrical parameter monitoring. The device includes a semiconductor die and a package substrate. The substrate includes a conductive plane. The die is connected to the plane via a plurality of connection structures. The method includes disconnecting a first one of the connection structures from the plane, and connecting the first connection structure to an external package connection, thereby providing a capability to monitor an electrical parameter of the die via the external package connection.
