An integrated circuit chip is attached to a support that includes first conductive elements. First conductive pads are located on the integrated circuit chip and are electrically coupled to the first conductive elements by conductive wires. The integrated circuit chip further includes a conductive track. A switch circuit is provided to selectively electrically connect each first conductive pad to the conductive track. To test the conductive wires, a group of first conductive pads are connected by their respective switch circuits to the conductive track and current flow between corresponding first conductive elements is measured.

Electronic device comprising wire links

A three-dimensional integrated structure is formed by a first substrate with first components oriented in a first direction and a second substrate with second components oriented in a second direction. An interconnection level includes electrically conducting tracks that run in a third direction. One of the second direction and third direction forms a non-right and non-zero angle with the first direction. An electrical link formed by at least one of the electrically conducting tracks electrically connected two points of the first or of the second components.

Routing for three-dimensional integrated structures

A semiconductor chip includes a plurality of superposed semiconductor levels. The semiconductor levels include a plurality of elementary circuits coupled to a common input node. Sensing circuits are coupled to elementary elements of different levels. The outputs of the sensing circuits are used to generate a number, which serves as an identification number of the semiconductor chip.
