Abstract
A method for increasing the ESD pulse stability of an electrical component is disclosed. An electrical component is pre-aged by means of an aging pulse generated by a pulse generator. The degradation of an electrical characteristic curve of the component by ESD pulses that occur during operation of the electrical component is improved by the pre-aging.
