1. An alternating current (AC) stress test circuit for performing an AC stress test on a test device fabricated in a test region on a semiconductor wafer, the AC stress test circuit comprising:
an oscillator module fabricated in the test region;
a diode module fabricated in the test region coupled to an output of the oscillator module; and
a select transistor fabricated in the test region having a gate terminal coupled to an output of the diode module, a second terminal coupled to a gate of the test device, and a third terminal coupled to a test voltage source.
