The nbti subsite is configured for subsite cycling using voltage stressing for a p-channel MOSFET
(PMOS) device.
This project includes actions that control the temperature of the chuck. The subsite test will not start
until the chuck reaches the specified temperature. After the first pre-stress cycle to characterize the
device, subsequent cycles voltage stress the device for a specified time before repeating the tests.
After the subsite cycling is complete, the chuck-cooling action cools the chuck.
The Stress Properties Configure pane for the nbti-1-dut project is shown in the following figure.

In a parallel connection scheme, up to 20 devices can be stressed by voltage. The figure below
shows an example of 20 parallel-connected devices being stressed by eight gate and drain voltages.
