Reliability Program Overview
Reliability is defined as product performance to specification over time in response to varied (specified)
environmental stress conditions.
The reliability function “R(t)” indicates the ratio of the conforming products that can function properly when the
time “t” elapses after starting use.
Microsemi - AMS publishes this report to provide customers with the intent to notify about the reliability of our
product portfolio.
Some of the important features of our program are,
Product qualifications are performed per internal procedures aligned to the industry standards mentioned
above.
Product reliability is measured periodically to ensure that the product performance meets or exceeds
requirements.
Reliability tests are executed in response to internal requirements.
Report is published annually.
1.1
Qualification
Reliability tests used in the qualification of new devices (wafer process and package) are designed to ensure that
Microsemi – AMS’s products satisfy applicable industry standards as part of new product introduction process.
Products are required to be qualified based on applicable following standards before they are released to
production,
Automotive products
-- AECQ100
Commerical products
-- JEDEC
Hi Reliability/Space products
-- MIL PRF 38535
(Applicable test methods from MIL STD 883 for QML Q & V)
1.2
Ongoing Reliability Monitor (ORM) Program
3
The reliability monitor program is based on the maturity of the wafer process, existing data (tied to the
number of device hours, FIT rate) and current run rate.
Reliability data shown in this report is based on products/product families (based upon the same logic
elements, embedded storage elements, interconnect technology, etc).
Product families are qualified based upon the internal requirements and usually include products with a
range of densities, package types, and package lead counts.
The tests used as part of ORM test suite are determined per internal requirements.
Units that are planned for ORM use are tested using production test equipment to data sheet limits
before being stressed. Post test measurements are also done on the same production test equipment to
data sheet limits. Any unit that does not meet the data sheet specification is considered a reject.

Accelerated Reliability Testing
Microsemi AMS Group performs accelerated testing to assess reliability of its devices,
Overstresses are used to produce the same failure mechanisms that would be seen under normal
conditions but in a much shorter period of time.
Acceleration factors (Temperature and Voltage) are used by Microsemi AMS to estimate failure rates
based on the results of accelerated testing.
The objective of accelerated testing is to identify the failure mechanisms and eliminate them as a cause of
failure during the useful life of our products.
3.1
FIT Rate Calculation and Assumptions
Microsemi uses exponential distribution of failures in time and predicts constant failure rate at operating
conditions,
Extrapolation uses thermal and voltage acceleration factors based on JEDEC formulas (JEP122).
FIT rate is calculated using JESD85 (Methods for Calculating Failure Rates in Units of FITs) standard.
All of the FIT (Failure in Time) rate and MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) numbers reported here use a base
set of assumptions.
o
The failure rate is calculated using Chi-square distribution at 60% confidence interval from the
small number of failures and limited sample size of the population tested.
o
The Chi-squared value is calculated from the inverse Chi-squared distribution using the desired
probability level and degrees of freedom.
o
The failure rate is then calculated from the Chi-square value:
2
Failure Rate =
9
x 10
2 (A.F. * Device Hours)
2
where x = Chi-Squared value at 60% confidence level and (2f + 2) degrees of freedom,
where f is the number of failures, Device Hours = (No. of Devices) * (No. of Hours)
The Acceleration Factor (A.F.) is calculated using Arrhenius relationship.
Acceleration Factor
=
Exp {(Ea/k) × (1/Tuse – 1/Tstress)}
Where:
Ea = Activation Energy (eV), assumed 0.7 eV
–5
k = Boltzmann’s constant (8.617 × 10 eV/ºK)
Tstress = Temperature at accelerated conditions in degrees Kelvin (°K = 125°C + 273.16)
Tuse = Temperature at normal use conditions in degrees Kelvin (°K = 55°C + 273.16)
A.F. = Acceleration Factor
