Burn-In Test Sockets
The selection of the test socket is critical to the performance of a device during qualification testing where electrical bias and signals are applied. Key factors such as mechanical compatibility, operating temperature, ability to withstand high moisture levels, signal speed and lead inductance/capacitance all need to be taken into account when selecting the best socket for the test application.

HALT – Highly Accelerated Life Test
HALT is a process used on electronic assemblies and modules to determine weaknesses and the stress limits of a product by temperature cycling and omni-axial random vibration step stress. Inherent weaknesses in a products design and build are stimulated by applying increasing levels of mechanical stress. Within an accelerated timescale, faults in a product can be realised prior to product release and preventing failures occurring during after-sale user operation, very often during the warranty period.

Biased and Unbiased HAST Testing
Considered within the semiconductor industry as the fast and effective alternative to Temperature Humidity Bias testing (THB), Highly-Accelerated Temperature and Humidity Stress Test (HAST) is a critical part of the device package Qualification process and is used to evaluate the reliability of non-hermetic packaged devices in humid environments.

Power Temperature Cycling
Typically, this test would be selected when during its normal operating activity, the device is subjected to high temperature excursions and is required to power on and off at all temperatures. The power and temperature cycling test will determine the ability of a device to withstand exposure to such temperature extremes with operating biases periodically applied and removed. The worst case conditions expected in a typical; application will be simulated.

Low Temperature Operating Life (LTOL) Test
LTOL
LTOL is being more used more and more frequently by manufacturers of low geometry devices as part of the qualification process, and in order to gain more failure data, a greater understanding of different failure modes of the device at low temperature, and to enable more complete reliability estimations. As device geometries decrease and frequencies become higher, Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) increases and the resulting degradation causes the deterioration of device characteristics and ultimately leads to failure.

Preconditioning
Preconditioning is performed prior to package level reliability testing to simulate the effects of board assembly on non-hermetic devices where moisture may have been absorbed during normal storage. The subsequent exposure to high temperature during infra reflow assembly can cause internal damage such as “pop corning” and delamination.

High Temperature Operating Life
7000 Series
With ever decreasing geometries, the way we perform HTOL requires careful consideration. In lower geometry device leakage currents are not only higher but vary greatly. Temperature control at DUT level – required to achieve correct junction temperature at every DUT. For higher geometries, HTOL can be performed in a more traditional way but with devices consuming more power, the ambient temperatures required varies greatly. Multiple temperature zones are required – multi zones system or multiple smaller HTOL systems.
