11.25 EM Vstress[6]: Electromigration test, voltage stressed, 6 SMUs (A.01.20)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Performs the Electromigration (EM) test for a wiring device with extrusion lines, and plots the stress time vs
resistance characteristics. This test is performed by the sampling measurement mode as shown below.
1. applies stress voltage
2. performs measurement and saves measurement data
3. calculates the device failure time
