I'm reading a paper,

Malobabic, S.; Ellis, D.F.; Salcedo, J.A.; Yuanzhong Zhou; Hajjar, J.-J.; Liou, J.J., "Gate oxide evaluation under very fast transmission line pulse (VFTLP) CDM-type stress," Devices, Circuits and Systems, 2008. ICCDCS 2008. 7th International Caribbean Conference on , vol., no., pp.1,8, 28-30 April 2008
doi: 10.1109/ICCDCS.2008.4542669

In this paper, the uploaded graph is contained to check the NMOS gate oxide breakdown point by ESD stress.

I have some problem to read the graph. Please tell me the way to read the graph. or some information the graph. what is it called?
 

In this graph see the change of current when the voltage is increasing
the region 5v to 40v current is almost linear
