Abstract

The invention generally relates to a design structure of a circuit design, and more particularly to a design structure of a delamination sensor for use with low-k materials. A delamination sensor includes at least one first sensor formed in a layered semiconductor structure and a second sensor formed in the layered semiconductor structure. The at least one first sensor is structured and arranged to detect a defect, and the second sensor is structured and arranged to identify an interface where the defect exists.
