A measurement mark is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the measurement mark includes a set of first test structures developed in a first layer on a substrate, each of the set of first test structures comprising a plurality of first features made of first conducting material. The measurement mark also includes a set of second test structures developed in a second layer adjacent to the first layer, each of the set of second test structures comprising a plurality of second features made of second conducting material. The measurement mark is configured to indicate connectivity between the set of first test structures and associated second test structures in the set of second test structures when imaged using a voltage-contrast imaging method.
