Disclosed is a semiconductor die having a lower test structure formed in a lower metal layer of the semiconductor die. The lower conductive test structure has a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to a predetermined voltage level. The semiconductor die also includes an insulating layer formed over the lower metal layer. The die further includes an upper test structure formed in an upper metal layer of the semiconductor die. The upper conductive test structure is coupled with the second end of the lower conductive test structure. The upper metal layer is formed over the insulating layer. In a specific implementation, the first end of the lower test structure is coupled to ground. In another embodiment, the semiconductor die also includes a substrate and a first via coupled between the first end of the lower test structure and the substrate. In yet another aspect, the lower test structure is an extended metal line, and the upper test structure is a voltage contrast element. Methods for inspecting and fabricating such semiconductor die are also disclosed.
