Abstract:
A test structure for inspecting an allowable process margin in a manufacturing process for a semiconductor device is provided. The test structure includes a plurality of grounded conductive lines on a substrate and electrically grounded to the substrate. A plurality of floating conductive lines are provided, each of the plurality of conductive lines being spaced apart from the grounded conductive lines and electrically separated from the grounded conductive lines on the substrate. A plurality of supplementary patterns are provided for measuring the allowable process margin by a voltage contrast between the grounded conductive lines and the floating conductive lines. Related methods of testing are also provided.
