Abstract: A test structure used to determine reliability performance includes a patterned metallization structure having multiple interfaces, which provide stress risers. A dielectric material surrounds the metallization structure, where a mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between the metallization structure and the surrounding dielectric material exist such that a thermal strain value is provided to cause failures under given stress conditions as a result of CTE mismatch to provide a yield indicative of reliability for a manufacturing design.

Abstract: A seal ring structure of an integrated circuit including a first discontinuous seal wall circumscribing a first portion of the integrated circuit, the first seal wall forming a first pattern on a substrate, and a second discontinuous seal wall circumscribing a second portion of the integrated circuit, the second seal wall forming a second pattern on the substrate and the second portion being at least partially offset from the first portion, wherein the first pattern of the first seal wall interlocks with the second pattern of the second seal wall such that the patterns are interweaved without intersecting, wherein a space is formed between the seal walls, the space creating a non-linear path to the integrated circuit, and wherein the seal ring structure fully circumscribes the integrated circuit. A method of forming such a seal ring structure is also disclosed.
