Abstract: Apparatuses and methods including a test circuit in a scribe region between chips are described. An example apparatus includes: a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip, adjacent to one another; a scribe region between the first and second semiconductor chips; test address pads in the scribe region; and an address decoder circuit in the scribe region. The test address pads receive address signals. The address decoder provides first signals responsive to the address signals from the test address pads.

Abstract: An amide derivative represented by the following formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.1-40 hydrocarbon; R.sup.2 represents a C.sub.1-6 alkylene; R.sup.3 represents H, OH or alkoxyl; R.sup.4 represents a C.sub.1-39 hydrocarbon; R.sup.5 represents ##STR2## with the proviso that when R.sup.5 represents ##STR3## R.sup.3 does not represent OH; and a composition of the amide derivative for topical application to human skin. The composition improves the barrier function of the stratum corneum, providing improvement and prevention of dermatitis, skin roughness, or similar disorders.
