Integrated circuit chips include an internal circuit including
interconnected semiconductor devices that are configured to provide
integrated circuit functionality, and a Test Element Group (TEG) circuit
that is configured to allow measuring of electrical characteristics of
the semiconductor devices. By providing a TEG circuit in the same
integrated circuit chip as the internal circuit, the TEG circuit may
accurately represent the electrical characteristics of the interconnected
semiconductor devices of the internal circuit of the associated
integrated circuit chip. The integrated circuit chip may be coupled to a
test apparatus. The test apparatus includes a test probe that is
configured to simultaneously contact the internal circuit and the TEG
circuit. The test apparatus also can simultaneously test the integrated
circuit functionality of the internal circuit, and measure the electrical
characteristics of the semiconductor devices via the TEG circuit.
