We present a new, non-destructive electrical technique, Power Spectrum Analysis (PSA). PSA as described here uses off-normal biasing, an unconventional way of powering microelectronics devices. PSA with off-normal biasing can be used to detect subtle differences between microelectronic devices. These differences, in many cases, cannot be detected by conventional electrical testing. In this paper, we highlight PSA applications related to aging and counterfeit detection.
