ADVANCED ANALYSIS / TEST

TC

TC (Temperature Cycle)

  • Semiconductor devices & packages, which are composed of different materials, have different number of thermal expansion, so defects due to thermal changes are accelerated. It is a test to evaluate the adaptability to environmental changes at such sudden temperatures.
  • Semiconductor devices are made up of different materials, each of which has a different number of thermal expansion, which accelerates the defect caused by thermal changes.

Condition Reference Test requirements/cautions
AEC-Q100 JEDEC JESD22-A104 and Appendix 3 Proceed with WBP after TC (After TC completion, perform WBP using 5 samples in one lot: 2 intermediate bonds per corner and 1 intermediate bond per side)
Grade 0 : -55ºC to +150ºC for 2000 cycles or equivalent.
Grade 1 : -55°C to +150oC for 1000 cycles or equivalent. (Note: -65°C to 150°C for 500 cycles is also an allowed test condition due to legacy use with no known lifetime issues. )
Grade 2 : -55ºC to +125ºC for 1000 cycles or equivalent.
Grade 3 : -55ºC to +125ºC for 500 cycles or equivalent.
