Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing temperature dissipation during burn-in testing are described. A plurality of devices under test are each subject to a body bias voltage. The body bias voltage is selected to substantially minimize leakage current associated with the plurality of devices under test. Accordingly, heat dissipation is reduced during burn-in.
