In the early design and development stage, we conduct extensive qualification tests to ensure that each of the units manufactured will meet the minimum reliability conditions as specified in the control drawings. Reliability tests include physical dimensions, hermeticity, solderability, humidity, operating life, heat and cold, thermal shock, aging, resistance to solder heat, flammability, lead strength, residual gas analysis, reflow. We will apply customer’s test plan if it is more stringent than Abracon test plan. Products have been 100% inspected and tested with Statistical Process Control (SPC) with CpK of 1.33 to make sure that our products meet quality standards. Our quality goals are: Total Customer Satisfaction Six Sigma Concepts 100% on-time delivery 8D/10-step Problem Solving Methodology Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Quality Control Plan. SPC in manufacturing processes to minimize variation between lots Early participation in customer programs Product Part Approval Process (PPAP) Mean Time To Failure (MTTF): Mean of the life distribution for the population of devices under operation or expected lifetime of an individual, MTTF = 1/ \ , which is the time where 63.2% of the population has failed. Example: For \ = 10FITs, MTTF = 100 millions hours. Confidence Level (CL): Probability level at which population failure rate estimates are derived from sample life test. The upper confidence level interval is used (60%). Acceleration Factor (AF): \ A constant derived from experimental data which relates the times to failure at two different stresses. 1 FAILURE RATE ( \ ) = ———————— TDH x AF Where: TDH = No. of devices x hours at elevated temperature AF = Acceleration factor Acceleration factor = e EA ____ k 1 _ ____ 1 ____ T1 T2 Theta = 60% Upper Confidence Limit R = Number of Failures (see table) EA = 0.4eV K = Boltzmann constant 8.62 x 10 -5 eV/°K T1 = 298°K (25°C) T2 = 358°K (85°C) X2 = Chi square value (see table) Chi Square Distribution Function (60% Upper Confidence Level) NUMBER OF FAILURES X VALUE NUMBER OF FAILURES X VALUE 2 NUMBER OF FAILURES X VALUE 0 1 2 3 1.833 4.045 6.211 8.351 4 5 6 7 10.47 12.58 14.68 16.78 8 9 10 18.87 20.95 23.03 2 2 FAILURE IN TIME (FIT) = ( \ ) x 109 CALCULATION OF FIT AND MTTF (or MTBF) Failure rate ( \ ): Measure of failure per unit of time. The life failure rate is based on the exponential life distribution. Failure in Time (FIT): Measure of failure rate in 109 device hours, e.g. 1 FIT = 1 failure in 109 device hours. Total Device hours (TDH): The total number of units in life test or operation multiplied by the time of test or operation.
