  • Abstract
    Laboratory efforts to duplicate power MOSFET service failures in a controlled, short term laboratory experiment have largely been without success. Experimentation in this laboratory have established tests, both static and dynamic, that reproduce long term service type failures in a short term test. This paper describes these test results and comments on the resultant reliability improvements
