Abstract
A method for testing a partially fabricated wafer is provided that comprises the following steps: providing a plurality of selectable devices under test (DUT) overlying a substrate of the wafer; biasing a second structure located in proximity to the DUT to have a first electrical state such that a first equivalent test structure is formed; determining a first parasitic parameter associated with the first equivalent test structure by applying a signal to the DUT while the second structure is in the first electrical state and measuring a response that is indicative of the first parameter; biasing the second structure to have a second electrical state such that a second equivalent test structure is formed; and determining a second parasitic parameter associated with the second equivalent test structure by applying a signal to the DUT while the second structure is in the second electrical state and measuring a response that is indicative of the second parameter.
