Abstract
An integrated circuit structure can include a plurality of solder bumps coupled in series forming a chain and a plurality of diodes, wherein each diode is coupled to one of the plurality of solder bumps. The integrated circuit structure also can include a first pad coupled to the solder bump of the plurality of solder bumps at an end of the chain. The first pad can be configured to provide a test current responsive to application of a forward bias voltage to each diode of the plurality of diodes.
