Abstract
An integrated circuit testing system includes a conductive structure, a conductive pad electrically connected with the conductive structure, a test circuit electrically connected with the conductive pad, a conductive line electrically connected with the conductive structure, the conductive line being configured to be connected with a ground, and a controller coupled with the test circuit. The controller is configured to selectively cause the test circuit to supply a voltage to the conductive structure via the conductive pad. The test circuit is configured to provide feedback to the controller indicative of whether the conductive structure is electrically connected with the conductive pad.
