The methods include depositing a sacrificial material over a first conductor material of the integrated circuit, and contacting a test probe to the deposited sacrificial material. The methods can also include testing the integrated circuit using the test probe contacting the sacrificial material. Finally, the methods can include removing the sacrificial material over the first conductor material of the integrated circuit subsequent to the testing of the integrated circuit.
