ABSTRACT:
A flexible semiconductor test structure that may be incorporated into a semiconductor device is provided. The test structure may include a plurality of test pads designed to physically stress conductive lines to which they are attached during thermal cycling. By utilizing test pads with different dimensions (lengths and/or widths), the effects of thermal stress generated by a plurality of conductive lines having corresponding different dimensions may be simulated.
