Abstract:
Guard ring designs enabling in-line testing of silicon bridges for semiconductor packages, and the resulting silicon bridges and semiconductor packages, are described. In an example, a semiconductor structure includes a substrate having an insulating layer disposed thereon. A metallization structure is disposed on the insulating layer. The metallization structure incudes conductive routing disposed in a dielectric material stack. The semiconductor structure also includes a first metal guard ring disposed in the dielectric material stack and surrounding the conductive routing. The first metal guard ring includes a plurality of individual guard ring segments. The semiconductor structure also includes a second metal guard ring disposed in the dielectric material stack and surrounding the first metal guard ring. Electrical testing features are disposed in the dielectric material stack, between the first metal guard ring and the second metal guard ring.

Claim (Index 4):
The semiconductor structure of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a perimeter, the semiconductor structure further comprising a metal-free region of the dielectric material stack surrounding the second metal guard ring, the metal-free region disposed adjacent to the second metal guard ring and adjacent to the perimeter of the substrate.
