IEC 60749-68 Die Operational Lifetime Testing
The IEC 60749-68 standard is a crucial benchmark for ensuring the reliability and durability of semiconductor devices at the die level. This type of testing focuses on assessing how long a die can perform its intended function under specified operating conditions before it fails or degrades to an unacceptable level.
The primary objective of this service is to simulate real-world operational stresses that a microchip might encounter during its lifecycle, thereby identifying any potential weaknesses in the design. This comprehensive testing ensures that manufacturers and purchasers have confidence in the longevity and performance of their products under expected usage scenarios.

Scope and Methodology
| Test Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Temperature Cycling | Cycles the sample through a range of temperatures to simulate exposure to extreme climates. |
| Voltage Stressing | Subjecting the die to voltages higher than normal operating levels to stress materials and structures. |
| Current Load Testing | Evaluates the current handling capability of the device under various conditions. |
| Die-to-Die Comparison | Compares operational characteristics between different dies within a single batch or across batches. |
The methodology involves several key steps:
- Sample Preparation: Cleanliness and proper orientation are critical to ensuring accurate test results.
- Initial Inspection: Visual inspection followed by non-destructive testing methods like X-ray imaging or cross-sectioning if necessary.
- Data Collection: Continuous monitoring of electrical parameters during the operational stress.
- Failure Analysis: Detailed examination to determine root causes of any failures observed.
This structured approach allows for precise evaluation and reporting, which is essential for maintaining high standards in semiconductor manufacturing.
