Several manufacturers' parts were used - three ceramic dual-in-line packages (CDIP) and two flat packages. All parts were stressed to MIL-STD-883, Method 1010, Condition C (¿65°C. to +150°C) or Method 1011, Condition C. Samples were removed at various steps throughout the cycling program. All parts were decapped and wires pulled. Pull strength and failure locations were recorded. This investigation indicated that end-of-life due to temperature cycling, can be observed to start within 1000 cycles, but due to the slow mean degradation rate, the calculated mean cycles to failure is very large (>1018 cycles). Thermal shock cause much less degradation of the wire bond strengths than did temperature cycling at this condition C level. The results show that Method 1010-C does cause slight degradation in mean pull strength, almost no degradation in maximum value observed, and extensive degradation to lowest values observed. Zero wirepull strengths were obtained after 240 temperature cycles and \"percent fail less than 0.5 gram-force\" increases significantly with increasing cycles from 240 to 1000. The purpose of the second part of this investigation was to determine if there was a degradation in CERDIP sealing glass strength of parts subjected to 1000 cycles of MIL-STD-883, Method 1011, Condition A (0 - 100°C) Thermal Shock.","PeriodicalId":369161,"journal":{"name":"13th International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125140583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After programming, devices were chemically etched and a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis was conducted on the selectively programmed fuses. A rectangular pulse corresponding to the vendors programming specification was used to program the fuses. However, during programming the pulse amplitude was adjusted to simulate the effect of variations in energy levels delivered by the on-chip addressing circuitry to the fusible links. The amplitudes were adjusted to extend the time required for fusing to a range of 100 ¿s to several seconds. Under SEM examination, the appearance of the fused gaps could be correlated to the fusing time during programming. A description of experiments performed, along with SEM photographs-are presented.","PeriodicalId":369161,"journal":{"name":"13th International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115902594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The migratory gold resistive short (MGRS) failure mode is one example of this mechanism and results in the formation of filamentary or dendritic deposits of gold between adjacent stripes. on the IC chip. This reaction requires the presence of a sufficient amount of water, a bias voltage between adjacent stripes, and the activation of the cathodic (-) stripe. Gold ions are transported from anode to cathode through a film of moisture adsorbed on the surface of the chip; halide ions are probably involved in the transfer. Their presence is verified experimentally by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Some of the chemical and electrostatic factors involved in the MGRS mechanism are discussed in this paper, including the questions of a threshold level of moisture and contamination.","PeriodicalId":369161,"journal":{"name":"13th International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129161015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
