Abstract

The application provides a wafer small resistance test structure, a test method and a test system, and is applied to the technical field of wafer testing, wherein a series test branch is formed by introducing a series capacitive branch into a to-be-tested small resistance structure to be tested on a wafer, and then the corresponding resistance value of the series test branch is measured under different frequencies of alternating signals by using a measuring machine, so that the resistance value of the to-be-tested small resistance structure is calculated according to the measurement result. Not only the small resistance on the wafer can be tested, but also the test precision is high, the test process is simple, the test cost is low, and it is very beneficial to reduce the test cost, improve the production efficiency and production quality.
