Abstract

The present application discloses a device variation extraction chip, including m MOS devices and one test key, where the test key has 2n pads; a drain of the (k(n−1)+i)-th MOS device is short-circuited with the i-th pad of the test key; a gate of the (k(n−1)+i)-th MOS device is short-circuited with the (n−1+i)-th pad of the test key; a source of each of the m MOS devices is short-circuited with the (2n−1)-th pad; a bulk of each of the m MOS devices is short-circuited with the 2n-th pad. The device variation extraction chip can save the chip area, save the test time, obtain a large amount of data, and improve the accuracy of the obtained device variation and device mismatch, without the addition of a photomask and process node steps.
