    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die, a detection structure, a path control circuit and a detection circuit. The semiconductor die includes a central region in which a semiconductor integrated circuit is provided and an external region surrounding the central region. The detection structure is provided in the external region. The path control circuit includes a plurality of switches that controls electrical connection of the detection structure. The detection circuit determines whether a defect is present in the semiconductor die and a location of the defect based on a difference signal. The difference signal corresponds to a difference between a forward direction test output signal and a backward direction test output signal obtained by propagating a test input signal through the detection structure in a forward direction and a backward direction, respectively, via the path control circuit.
