Abstract:
An apparatus comprising: a substrate; an integrated circuit region formed in the substrate; a seal ring disposed in the substrate to form a ring around the integrated circuit region, the seal ring configured to provide for protection against one or more of moisture ingress and ion ingress to the integrated circuit region and crack propagation through the substrate; and a defect sensor comprising a conductive track formed of at least one conductive layer in the substrate, the conductive track disposed outwardly of the seal ring and arranged to at least partially surround the integrated circuit region and seal ring, the conductive track having a first end terminal and a second end terminal to receive a detection signal therebetween to pass through the conductive track to detect a break in the conductive track and thereby a defect in the substrate.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the substrate comprises a wafer and a plurality of semiconductor arrangements each comprising at least the integrated circuit region and the seal ring are provided on said wafer, the step of providing a defect sensor comprising providing a defect sensor for at least one of the semiconductor arrangements.
