A METHOD TO REDUCE LEAKAGE DURING A SEMI-CONDUCTOR BURN-IN PROCEDURE

摘要

A method for reducing sub-threshold leakage during the burn-in procedure for a semi-conductor is disclosed. The method includes applying a back-bias voltage to the device during the burn-in procedure. The back-bias voltage increases the threshold voltage of the semi-conductor device and consequently, reduces the sub-threshold leakage current.
