Technologies suitable for on-wafer testing in the ubiquitous computing era
are disclosed. Among the inventive features disclosed are: 1) clustering
of wafer test probe landing area sites for parallel test sequencing; 2)
on wafer test wiring that runs along the wafer's scribe regions; 3)
on-wafer test wiring that can be scribed and yet thwart the spread of
contamination into the product die; 4) an RFID tag design that allows for
on-wafer testing without imposing substantial semiconductor surface area
penalty; 5) an RFID tag design that includes built-in self test (BIST)
circuitry for the RFID tag's non-volatile memory.
