Accelerated Testing of High Reliability Parts
Abstract
A review of data and information gathered during previously conducted accelerated test programs has led to the formulation of degradation models for the parts under study. Long term constant stress tests, which were inactive for a 9-month period after accumulating 5000 to 9000 hours of test time at various stress conditions, were restarted. The effect of the passive period on the long term part parameter trends is discussed. Accelerated step stress test designs and analysis plans were formulated for metal film resistors and semiconductors and step stress tests were initiated. Failure Mechanism Studies led to the formulation of a current conduction model for glass dielectric capacitors; the detection, possible source and estimated effects of phosphorus compounds on surface leakage of transistors; and low temperature characterization of diode surface leakage currents.
