Re: victor mosfets

Alright, now just for a sanity check, MOSFETs short when they fail from too much current, right? I've seen several failed Victors and I'm reasonably sure that's what they do, but I can't remember.

Also, I have an internship this summer and I'm running tests on various devices and it seems that MOS shorts when it fails(unless of course you attack the gate). I'm working at the wafer level, but I don't see why things would change for a power transistor.
