Title: Elevated voltage level I{sub DDQ} failure testing of integrated circuits

Patent ·
OSTI ID:238071

Burn in testing of static CMOS IC`s is eliminated by I{sub DDQ} testing at elevated voltage levels. These voltage levels are at least 25% higher than the normal operating voltage for the IC but are below voltage levels that would cause damage to the chip. 4 figs.
