Abstract

A method for preparing a non-reference transistor test structure having multiple terminals is disclosed. The method may include when an intended application of the non-reference transistor test structure is not for monitoring a plasma-involved charging, employing a protection mechanism by placing the MOSFET-based gated diode at a first metal layer, wherein the first metal layer is a lowermost metal layer, and when the intended application of the non-reference transistor test structure is for monitoring a plasma-involved charging, placing a charging monitoring antenna at a second metal layer; and employing the protection mechanism by placing a MOSFET-based gated diode at one metal layer above the second metal layer.
