WAT test structure usually includes all active and passive components of the process platform, such as block resistance, through-hole contact resistance, capacitance resistance, metal wire resistance, MOS transistor, etc. According to the characteristics of CMOS process technology platform, WAT test types can be divided into eight categories: MOS transistor, integrity of gate oxide layer, polysilicon gate field effect transistor (Poly Field Device) and metal 1 field effect transistor (Metal 1 Field Device), N-node (N-node structure) and P-node (P-node structure), metal capacitor (MIM capacitor) and polysilicon capacitor (PIP capacitor) Block resistance Rs (Sheet Resistance), contact resistance Re (Contact Resistance), isolation, etc.
