Abstract
A method for characterizing the current as a function of applied electric field for a resistor exposed to a high electric fields is described. The method uses current versus voltage measurements at low electric fields, where the resistor is not damaged and the current does not saturate. An example illustrating the importance of such resistor characterization is provided.
