Abstract

The present invention provides a test key structure, the test key structure a substrate, a plurality of test key cells disposed on the substrate, wherein each test key cell includes a first gate structure arranged along a first direction (X-axis), a first diffusion region, a second diffusion region, a connection diffusion region and a share contact arranged along a second direction (Y-axis), wherein the first gate structure crosses over the first diffusion region to form a pull-up transistor (PU), the second gate structure crosses over the second diffusion region to form a pull-down transistor (PD), and wherein the plurality of share contacts and the plurality of connection diffusion regions of the plurality of test key cells are electrically connected to each other.
