1. An electronic test structure comprising:
a substrate;
a conductor overlying the substrate;
an electronic device overlying a portion of the conductor and comprising a first electrode connected to the conductor, a second electrode, and an insulating layer between the first and second electrodes;
a portion of the conductor being exposed for access thereto;
further comprising a dielectric layer overlying the conductor and substrate and on which the electronic device is disposed, the exposed portion of the conductor being exposed through an opening in the dielectric layer.
