Apparatus and method for testing semiconductors

A test circuit for testing semiconductors includes a plurality of at least first conductors and second conductors. The first and second conductors are operatively connected together by a plurality of conductive vias to form an open chain of alternating first and second conductors. A plurality of con...

description A test circuit for testing semiconductors includes a plurality of at least first conductors and second conductors. The first and second conductors are operatively connected together by a plurality of conductive vias to form an open chain of alternating first and second conductors. A plurality of conductive taps are included, each of the taps being connected at a first end to a corresponding first conductor. The test circuit further includes a plurality of switching circuits, each of the switching circuits being operatively connected to a second end of a corresponding one of the conductive taps. Each of the switching circuits is configurable for selectively connecting the corresponding conductive tap to one of at least a first bus and a second bus in response to at least one control signal presented to the switching circuit, the first and second buses being connected to first and second bond pads, respectively.
