Various MOSFET tests require making low current measurements. Some of these tests include gate leakage, leakage current vs. temperature, substrate to-drain leakage, and sub-threshold current.

At low ambient temperature or small discharge current, the local light intensity emitted by fluorescent lamps may show fluctuations called striations, which seriously disturb the illuminations.

Low liquidus temperature enables low bath temperature. The current efficiency increases with the decreasing of bath temperature.
