Semiconductor and package reliability qualification programs
Integra Technologies, a Micross company · Reliability qualification and failure analysis
- Purpose
- New devices, packages or material changes need a reliability qualification plan tied to their operating environment, linking stress conditions, sample flow and failure analysis rather than relying solely on a generic checklist.
- Technical approach
- Integra offers guidance to define the plan and manage tests and data. A project can select thermal cycling, thermal shock, humidity or life testing and combine these with construction/failure analysis.
- Scope of use
- Published services cover device/package qualification, plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEMs) and copper-wire evaluation for aerospace, defense, automotive and other applications. The test combination and standards require project-specific agreement.
- Limitations and open questions
These evaluation considerations are compiled by BLNKK from public information. They are not supplier guarantees or a mandatory submission checklist.
Scope and limitationsTest execution does not guarantee qualification success or expected service life. FAQ sample counts and stress sequences are examples, and copper-wire capability does not establish qualification of every wire material.
What to prepareBLNKK suggests preparing device/package and material changes, operating conditions, target requirements, previous tests and failures; wire-bond investigations also need wire materials, bonding metals and suspected locations.
Confirm with the supplierConfirm the qualification plan, standard editions, representative sample quantities, stress/rejection criteria and handling/reporting of failures. Wire-bond work also needs agreement on decapsulation and pull/shear methods.
- Public evidence
- The service page describes planning and project management; the October 2024 PEM FAQ gives package risks and an example flow. The copper-wire page separately lists pull/shear, cross-section and SEM/EDX capabilities.
