Scope1.1 This guide covers the use of overtesting in order toreduce the required number of parts that must be tes

3、ted to meeta given quality acceptance standard. Overtesting is testing asample number of parts at a stress higher than their specifica-tion stress in order to reduce the amount of necessary datataking. This guide discusses when and how overtesting may beapplied to forming probabilistic estimates for

4、 the survival ofelectronic piece parts subjected to radiation stress. Someknowledge of the probability distribution governing the stress-to-failure of the parts is necessary though exact knowledgemay be replaced by over-conservative estimates of this distri-bution.2.

7、pecified fraction P of the parts in the lot will failin actual service.3.1.3 Discussion of Preceding TermsStrictly speaking,most lot acceptance tests (be they testing by attributes orvariables) do not guarantee survivability, but rather that infe-rior lots, where the survival probability of the part

8、s is less thanprobability, P, will be rejected with confidence, C. In order toinfer a true confidence, it would require a Bayes Theoremcalculation. In many cases, the distinction between confidenceand rejection confidence is of little practical importance.However, in other cases (typically when a la

9、rge number of lotsare rejected) the distinction between these two kinds ofconfidence can be significant. The formulas given in this guideapply whether one is dealing with confidence or rejectionconfidence.4. Summary of Guide4.1 This guide is intended to primarily apply to sampling byattribute plans

Significance and Use5.1 Overtesting should be done when (a) testing by vari-ables is impractical because of time and cost considerations orbecause the probability distribution of stress to failure cannotbe estimated

12、 with sufficient accuracy, and (b) an unrealisticallylarge number of parts would have to be tested at the specifi-cation stress for the necessary confidence and survival prob-ability.6. Interferences6.1 Probability DistributionsIn overtesting, a knowledgeof the probability distribution governing str

For bipolar tran-sistors exposed to neutron radiation, the failure mechanism isusually gain degradation and the stress to failure is known tofollow a lognormal distribution.3For bipol

17、 widely used inestimating the failure probabilities of electronic piece parts,and therefore this standard governs the use of a lognormaldistribution. However, caution should be exercised when theprobability distribution of stress to failure is not well estab-lished. Nevertheless, even if the lognorm

Let sln(max) be an estimated maximum standarddeviation in the natural logarithms of the stress to failure, andlet PTand PSbe the respective survival probabilities

20、 withconfidence, C, at the overtest and stress levels. Then,PS5 FFFPT! 1lnRT/RS!slnmax!G, (1)where:F = the cumulative standard normal distribution, andF= the anti-function of the cumulative standard normaldistribution.Most probability texts tabulate the cumulative standardnormal distribution functio

21、n, F, and its antifunction (some-times denoted by Zp).7.1.1 When PSis given and PTis known, the overtest factoris:RT/RS5 exp$slnmax! FPS! 2 FPT!#% (2)7.2 For neutrons, 0.5 is a good estimate of sln(max).67.2.1 Example:Suppose bipolar transistors are tested at a neutron fluencethree times the specifi

22、cation fluence and it is determined thatwith 90 % confidence, at least 80 % of the transistors willsurvive the overtest fluence. Then from Eq 1, at the specifica-tion fluence, with 90 % confidence, the survival probability isas follows:PS5 FF1 ln 3! / 0.5 5 F0.84 1 2.20 5 0.999,where we used the fol

23、lowing facts governing the normaldistribution:(a) The 80 percentile point of the distribution is 0.84standard deviations above the mean of the distribution (80 % ofthe distribution is below 0.84 standard deviations above themean).(b) The number 3.04 is approximately the 99.9 percentileof the distrib

24、ution.7.3 Table 1 gives examples of the estimated survival prob-ability as a function of R, where R depends on the overtestfactor and the estimated maximum logarithmic standard devia-tion in stress-to-failure as follows:R 5lnRT/RS!slnmax!(3)7.3.1 Sample Use of Table 1:If an overtest were performed w

25、ith R = 1.5, and if it is knownthat a certain part type has stresses-to-failure that never vary upor down by more than a factor of 4, that is sln(max) = ln(4),then the overtest level would be 41.5= 8 times the specificationlevel. If it were determined that with confidence, C, 80 % of theparts would

26、survive the overtest level, then since the tableshows that at the specification level, with confidence, C,anestimated 99 % of the parts would survive. Alternatively, giventhe data at the specification level, the desired part survivabilityand a factor that bounds the variability of the parts, this ta

27、blecan be used to determine an overtest level.7.3.2 Cautions for Using Table 1:Be aware that clearly a survival probability of 1.0 isunrealistic, and where it appears, the table should be inter-preted to mean that there would be no point in going to a higherlevel of overtest than the one indicated i

28、n the table. In general,very high probabilities of survival should not be taken literallybecause errors in the assumed probability distribution, sur-prises, maverick parts, simulation fidelity, and human error, allaffect a practical situation. An experienced user would havesome idea of the maximum c

29、redible survivability for theparticular application. It is suggested here that probabilities ofover 0.999999 are not credible unless massive experienceshows that tests, part processing, and the personnel are reliableto at least that level of confidence. Nevertheless, if a very highlevel of survival

30、is predicted, the information suggests that anyweak point in a system is most likely somewhere else.8. Keywords8.1 confidence; rejection; overtest data; statistical analysis4Stanley, A.
