Abstract: A test pattern for analyzing a delay characteristic of an interconnection line and a method of analyzing a delay characteristic of an interconnection line using the test pattern are provided. The test pattern for analyzing a delay characteristic of an interconnection line includes: a first metal line formed as a snake shaped structure having a plurality of concave-convex sections each having the same width; a second metal line having a comb shape formed on the same layer as the first metal line such that a plurality of teeth portions of the second metal line are respectively formed between the concave-convex sections at one side of the first metal line; and a third metal line having a comb shape formed on the same layer as the first metal line such that a plurality of teeth portions of the third metal line are respectively formed between the concave-convex sections at the other side of the first metal line.
