Abstract

A resistive test structure that includes a semiconductor substrate with an active region, a gate stack formed over the active region, a first electrical contact in communication with the active region on opposing sides of the gate stack, the first electrical contact providing an electrical short across a first dimension of the gate stack, and a second electrical contact in communication with the active region on the opposing sides of the gate stack, the second electrical contact providing an electrical short across the first dimension of the gate stack, the first and second electrical contacts spaced along a second dimension of the gate stack perpendicular to the first dimension.
