  • Patent number: 11796587
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die, a defect detection structure and an input-output circuit. The semiconductor die includes a central region and a peripheral region surrounding the central region. The peripheral region includes a left-bottom corner region, a left-upper corner region, a right-upper corner region and a right-bottom corner region. The defect detection structure is formed in the peripheral region. The defect detection structure includes a first conduction loop passing through the left-bottom corner region, a second conduction loop passing through the right-bottom corner region, a third conduction loop passing through the left-bottom corner region and the left-upper corner region, a fourth conduction loop passing through the right-bottom corner region and the right-upper corner region, and a shielding loop to shield electrical interference between the first through fourth conduction loops.
