Running individual plans or tests
You can run any subsite plan, device plan, or test in the project. The test sequence will stop after
the plan or test is finished.
To show how to run the 3terminal-npn-bjt device plan for subsite 2 of site 2:
1. Manually position the prober to test Subsite 2 of Site 2. Make sure the prober pins are
making contact with the subsite pads.
2. Set the site navigator to Site 2.
3. In the project navigator, click 3terminal-npn-bjt for Subsite2 to select the device plan.
4. Click the green Run button to start the test sequence.
How to control an external pulse generator
This tutorial demonstrates how to control a pulse generator to stress a semiconductor device and
analyze the effects of the stress. The applied stress is a burst of 3.5V pulses across the
gate-substrate (bulk) terminals of an N-channel MOSFET.
To run the basic test sequence:
1. Measure the transfer characteristics of the device before the stress.
2. Apply a stress burst of 3.5V pulses.
3. Measure the transfer characteristics of the device after the stress.
The after-stress characteristics can then be compared to the before-stress characteristics.
