JEDEC JEP162 Assessment of Advanced Technology Package Processes Testing

The JEDEC Standard JEP162 is a critical document that guides the testing and evaluation of advanced semiconductor packages. This standard ensures that the reliability, performance, and quality of semiconductor devices are maintained to industry benchmarks.

At our laboratory, we specialize in performing comprehensive assessments for JEP162, ensuring compliance with international standards such as ISO/IEC 9001:2015. Our testing processes cover a wide range of technologies, including but not limited to BGA (Ball Grid Array), CSP (Chip Scale Package), and LGA (Land Grid Array) packages.

The standard focuses on several key aspects:

Thermal Cycling: Evaluating the package's resistance to temperature cycling, ensuring it can withstand harsh environmental conditions without failure.
Vibration Testing: Assessing the impact of mechanical stress on the package during transportation and use, which is crucial for devices that operate in challenging environments.
Drop Testing: Ensuring robustness against physical impacts, such as those encountered during handling or installation.
Electrical Testing: Verifying the integrity of electrical connections and ensuring proper signal transmission.

The testing process involves meticulous preparation of specimens. We start by cleaning the components to ensure no foreign materials interfere with test results. Next, we apply appropriate stress conditions based on the package type and expected operational environment. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to simulate real-world scenarios accurately.

After completing all tests, our team generates detailed reports that include comprehensive data analysis and recommendations for improvements if necessary. These reports are essential tools for quality managers and R&D engineers in ensuring product reliability and compliance with international standards.

Our expertise in this area also extends to providing advice on selecting the right package type based on application requirements, which is crucial for achieving optimal performance while minimizing costs.
