Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing process, in particular to a semiconductor failure detection structure and a forming method, and a method for detecting failure time. Background technique [0002] The development requirements of high complexity and high integration of large-scale integrated circuits make semiconductor devices must have higher reliability. However, currently there are many reasons affecting the reliability of semiconductor devices, among which electro-migration (Electro-Migration; EM for short) phenomenon is one of the reasons leading to failure of semiconductor devices. Specifically, electromigration can lead to an open circuit or a short circuit inside a semiconductor device, increasing the leakage of the device and causing it to fail. The cause of electromigration is the movement of metal atoms. When the current density in the metal interconnection line is high, the electrons move from the cathode to the anode a...
