Abstract :
Both traditional life testing method and constant Electrical stress and Temperature Ramp stress Method (CETRM) are described. The two methods are compared taking the GaAs microwave power field effect transistor (FET) DX0011 life testing as an example. CETRM used less testing samples, took shorter testing time, and provided more reliability information than common life testing method.
