Abstract

A semiconductor detection structure for a die cracking screening test (DCST) is provided. The semiconductor detection structure includes a semiconductor layer embedded in a semiconductor die. The semiconductor layer may be embedded in a semiconductor substrate of the semiconductor die; a brittleness of the semiconductor layer is higher than or equal to a brittleness of the semiconductor substrate; and the semiconductor layer extends in a peripheral region of the semiconductor die.
