Introduction
The testing performed for this report is designed to accelerate the predominant failure mode, electro-migration
(EM), for the devices under test. The devices are stressed at high temperature and DC biased to simulate a
lifetime of use at typical operating temperatures. Using the Arrhenius equation, the acceleration factor (AF) is
calculated for the stress testing based on the stress temperature and the typical use operating temperature.
This report is intended to summarize all of the High Temperature Operating Life Test (HTOL) data for the GaAs
HBT-A process. The FIT/MTTF data contained in this report includes all the stress testing performed on this
process to date and will be updated periodically as additional data becomes available. Data sheets for the tested
devices can be found at www.hittite.com.
Glossary of Terms & Definitions:
1. CDM: Charged Device Model. A specified ESD testing circuit characterizing an event that occurs when a
device acquires charge through some triboelectric (frictional) or electrostatic induction processes and then
abruptly touches a grounded object or surface. This test was performed in accordance with JEDEC 22-C101.
2. ESD: Electro-Static Discharge. A sudden transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies or surfaces at
different electrostatic potentials.
3. HBM: Human Body Model. A specified ESD testing circuit characterizing an event that occurs when a device
is subjected to an electro-static charge stored in the human body and discharged through handling of the
electronic device. This test was performed in accordance with JEDEC 22-A114.
4. HTOL: High Temperature Operating Life. This test is used to determine the effects of bias conditions and
temperature on semiconductor devices over time. It simulates the devices’ operating condition in an
accelerated way, through high temperature and/or bias voltage, and is primarily for device qualification and
reliability monitoring. This test was performed in accordance with JEDEC JESD22-A108.
5. HTSL: High Temperature Storage Life. Devices are subjected to 1000 hours at 150oC per JESD22-A103.
6. MSL: Moisture sensitivity level pre-conditioning is performed per JESD22-A113.
7. Operating Junction Temp (Toj): Temperature of the die active circuitry during typical operation.
8. Stress Junction Temp (Tsj): Temperature of the die active circuitry during stress testing.
9. UHAST: Unbiased Highly Accelerated Stress Test. Devices are subjected to 96 hours of 85% relative
humidity at a temperature of 130C and pressure (15 PSIG). This test is performed in accordance with
JESD22-A118.

Device hours:
HMC365 (QTR2004-00001) = (12 X 1240hrs) = 14,880 hours
HMC510 (QTR2011-00004) = (12 X 1000hrs) = 12,000 hours
HMC511 (QTR2011-00013) = (159 X 1000hrs) = 159,000 hours
HMC416 (QTR2012-00198) = (24 X 1000hrs) = 24,000 hours

HMC361 (QTR2012-00255, 1000 hour test) = (12 X 1000hrs) = 12,000 hours
HMC6XXX (QTR2013-00340, 5039 hour test) = (6 X 5039hrs) = 30,234 hours
HMC6XXX (QTR2013-00340, 2000 hour test) = (14 X 2000hrs) = 28,000 hours
For GaAs HBT-A MMIC, Activation Energy = 1.1 eV
Acceleration Factor (AF):
HMC365 (QTR2004-00001) Acceleration Factor = exp[1.1/8.6x10-5(1/338-1/398)] = 300.3
HMC510 (QTR2011-00004) Acceleration Factor = exp[1.1/8.6x10-5(1/338-1/398)] = 300.3
HMC511 (QTR2011-00013) Acceleration Factor = exp[1.1/8.6x10-5(1/380-1/408)] = 10.1
HMC416 (QTR2012-00198) Acceleration Factor = exp[1.1/8.6x10-5(1/392-1/448)] = 59.1
HMC361 (QTR2012-00255, 240 hour test) Acceleration Factor = exp[1.1/8.6x10-5(1/378-1/438)] = 103.1

Equivalent hours = Device hours x Acceleration Factor
Equivalent hours =
(14,880x300.3)+(12,000x300.3)+(159,000x10.1)+(24,000x59.1)+(19,200x103.1)+(12,000x103.1)+
(30,324x45.7)+(28,000x45.7) = 1.70x107 hours
Since there were no failures and we used a time terminated test, F=0, and R = 2F+2 = 2
The failure rate was calculated using Chi Square Statistic:
QTR: 2013- 00228
Wafer Process: GaAs HBT-A
Rev: 05
at 60% and 90% Confidence Level (CL), with 0 units out of spec
and a 65°C package backside temp;
Failure Rate
60 = [(2)60,2]/(2X 1.70x107 )] = 1.8/ 3.39x107 = 5.39x10-8 failures/hour or 53.9
FIT or MTTF = 1.85x107 Hours
90 = [(2)90,2]/(2X 1.70x107 )] = 4.6/ 3.39x107 = 1.36x10-7 failures/hour or 135.8 FIT or MTTF = 7.36x106 Hours
