IEC 63505:2025 gives guidance on VT measurement methods and conditioning prior to VT testing in SiC power MOSFETs to reduce or eliminate the effect of the aforementioned hysteresis. The method is applicable for PBTI testing, NBTI and threshold voltage changes caused by switching events are excluded from the scope.
SiC MOSFETs have threshold voltage hysteresis caused by transient trap effects, which impacts the evaluation of the actual the VT shift caused by stress tests such as bias temperature instabilities (BTI).

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The electrical properties of gate and field oxides are altered by ionizing radiation. The method for determining the dose delivered by the source irradiation is discussed in Practices E666, E668, E1249, and Guide E1894. The time dependent and dose rate effects of the ionizing radiation can be determined by comparing pre- and post-irradiation voltage shifts, ΔVot and ΔVit. This test method provides a means for evaluation of the ionizing radiation response of MOSFETs and isolation parasitic MOSFETs.  
5.2 The measured voltage shifts, ΔVot and ΔVit, can provide a measure of the effectiveness of processing variations on the ionizing radiation response.  
5.3 This technique can be used to monitor the total-dose response of a process technology.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the use of the subthreshold charge separation technique for analysis of ionizing radiation degradation of a gate dielectric in a metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and an isolation dielectric in a parasitic MOSFET.2,3,4 The subthreshold technique is used to separate the ionizing radiation-induced inversion voltage shift, ΔVINV into voltage shifts due to oxide trapped charge, ΔVot and interface traps, ΔV it. This technique uses the pre- and post-irradiation drain to source current versus gate voltage characteristics in the MOSFET subthreshold region.  
1.2 Procedures are given for measuring the MOSFET subthreshold current-voltage characteristics and for the calculation of results.  
1.3 The application of this test method requires the MOSFET to have a substrate (body) contact.  
1.4 Both pre- and post-irradiation MOSFET subthreshold source or drain curves must follow an exponential dependence on gate voltage for a minimum of two decades of current.  
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This test method covered the use of the subthreshold charge separation technique for analysis of ionizing radiation degradation of a gate dielectric in a metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and an isolation dielectric in a parasitic MOSFET.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of F01 on Electronics, this test method was withdrawn in November 2023. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement because Committee F01 was disbanded.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The current gain of a transistor is basic to its operation and is its single most important parameter.
Ionizing radiation, that is, gamma radiation due to a nuclear burst, will degrade the current gain due to lifetime damage in the bulk material. Degradation of gain will be greatest immediately following a burst of ionizing radiation and the gain will rapidly recover to a quasi steady-state value. Defect annealing may continue for weeks but usually the current gain recovery is small or negligible.
This method provides a procedure that does not require special-purpose test equipment.
This method is suitable for use for specification acceptance, service evaluation, or manufacturing control.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of common-emitter d-c current gain (forward, hFE, or inverted, hFEI) of bipolar transistors, for which the collector-emitter leakage current, ICEO, is less than 10% of the collector current, IC, at which the measurement is to be made, and for which the shunt leakage current in the base circuit is less than 10% of the base current required.  
1.2 This test method is suitable for measurement of common-emitter d-c current gain at a single given value of test transistor collector current or over a given range of collector currents (for example, over the range of the transistor to be tested).  
1.2.1 The nominal ranges of collector current over which the three test circuits are intended to be used are as follows:  
1.2.1.1 Circuit 1, less than 100 [mu]A,  
1.2.1.2 Circuit 2, from 100 [mu]A to 100 mA, and  
1.2.1.3 Circuit 3, greater than 100 mA.  
1.3 This test method incorporates tests to determine if the power dissipated in the transistor is low enough that the temperature of the junction is approximately the same as the ambient temperature.  
1.4 The values stated in International System of Units (SI) are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This test method covers the measurement of common-emitter dc current gain (forward, hFE, or inverted, hFEI) of bipolar transitors, for which the collector-emitter leakage current, ICEO, is less than 10 % of the collector current, IC, at which the measurement is to be made, and for which the shunt leakage current in the base circuit is less than 10 % of the base current required.
This standard is being withdrawn because it does not have any relevance to Nuclear and Space Effects. This is strictly an electronic document with nothing to do with radiation and should be related to a group that deals strictly with electronics.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F01 on Electronics, and the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F01.11 on Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects, this test method was withdrawn in June 2011 with no replacement.

1.3 This test method may be used with either a virtual-ground current meter or a resistance-shunt current meter.
1.4 The values stated in International System of Units (SI) are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this test method.

The test method specifies positive voltage and current conventions specifically applicable to n-channel MOSFETs.
