Abstract
An integrated circuit, testing structure, and method for monitoring electro-migration (EM) performance. A method is described that includes method for measuring on-chip electro-migration (EM) performance, including: providing a first on-chip sensor continuously powered with a stress current; providing a second on-chip sensor that is powered only during measurement cycles with a nominal current; obtaining a first resistance measurement from the first on-chip sensor and a second resistance measurement from the second on-chip sensor during each of a series of measurement cycles; and processing the first and second resistance measurements.
