Abstract
In a method of testing a semiconductor wafer including a scribe line and multiple dies, the method includes implementing a first landing pad on the scribe line, and implementing a first interconnect on the scribe line and between the first landing pad and a first cluster of the dies, thereby coupling the first landing pad to the first cluster of dies. The method also includes performing the testing of the first cluster of dies using automated test equipment (ATE) coupled to a probe tip by contacting the first landing pad with the probe tip, and applying an ATE resource to the first cluster of dies.
