Abstract

A method is provided for testing semiconductor devices. In accordance with the method, a first usage temperature T1 is obtained which represents the maximum or minimum temperature to which a semiconductor device will be exposed during its first use by a customer. The semiconductor device is then tested for defects while ramping the temperature to which the device is exposed from a first temperature T0 to the temperature T1.
