QUARTZ CRYSTAL RELIABILITY STUDIES

Abstract

Effort was continued to study factors that produce failures of quartz crystal units. The objectives of this study are: (1) the determination of the causes of failure in quartz crystal units; (2) the formulation of accelerated tests for the determination of time to first failure, meantime between failures, and life time; (3) the evaluation of such factors as elevated temperatures, and drive levels other than the recommended drive levels, in causing failure of quartz crystal units; and (4) the determination of a satisfactory definition of failure in terms of performance. Test methods and test results are presented.
