11.28 HCI: Hot Carrier Injection test, 4 terminals (A.01.20)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Performs the hot carrier injection test, and plots the accumulated stress time vs threshold voltage/drain current
characteristics.
This test is performed as follows.
1. performs initial characterization
2. applies stress voltage
3. performs interim characterization
4. saves measurement data
5. repeats 2 to 4 until TotalStressTime elapses
