11.6 BJT EB RevStress2[3]: Emitter-Base junction Reverse bias Stress test, 3
terminals (A.03.10)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Performs the bipolar transistor Emitter-Base junction reverse bias stress test, and plots the accumulated stress
time vs collector current/base current/current amplification factor 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
