Abstract
A method of detecting manufacturing defects at a memory array may include disposing an active area of a first width in communication with a first conductive member of the memory array to define a grounded conductive member, disposing an isolation structure of a second width in communication with a second conductive member of the memory array to define a floating conductive member, and providing an alternating arrangement of floating and grounded conductive members including arranging a plurality of the grounded and floating conductive members adjacent to each other to define a sequence of alternating floating and grounded conductive members. A corresponding test device is also provided.
