Abstract

A three-dimensional integrated structure may include two assembled integrated circuits respectively including two metallic lines, and at least two cavities passing through one of the integrated circuits and opening onto two locations respectively in electrical contact with the two metallic lines. The cavities may be sized to place a measuring apparatus at the bottom of the cavities, and in electrical contact with the two locations.
