Step 2. Determines Stress Condition
This step determines the gate stress voltage (Vgstr) from the Ib-Vgs measurement
test result. This Vgstr value will be used in step 5.
NOTE Test Device for Defining Stress Conditions
The test device used to determine the stress conditions (step 2) should not be used
for Hot-Carrier stress testing (steps 3 to 5).
