| abstract |
A process for making an integrated circuit, either in the form of a wafer, die, or chip, includes instantiating multiple standard cell-compatible fill cells, configured to enable non-contact electrical measurements. Such instantiated fill cells include mesh pads that contain at least three conductive stripes disposed between adjacent gate stripes. Such instantiated fill cells further include geometry to enable non-contact evaluation of interlayer overlap shorts and/or leakages. |
