Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/040072
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed in embodiments of the present disclosure are a through silicon via crack detection circuit, a detection method, and a memory. The through silicon via crack detection circuit comprises: crack detection lines, which are arranged surrounding a through silicon via; the through silicon via passes through M interconnected metal layers, there are M-1 crack detection lines, and the M-1 crack detection lines are respectively arranged on each layer among the M metal layers excluding a top metal layer, where M is a positive integer greater than one; a first contact, which is located at a first position at the top metal layer and connected to at least one crack detection line among the M-1 crack detection lines by means of the M interconnected metal layers; and a second contact, which is located at a second position at the top metal layer and connected to the M-1 crack detection lines; wherein whether a crack is present around the through silicon via is determined according to a resistance between the first contact and the second contact.
