When Class S parts are not available, the screens of Table 1 should be used.a71 Failure criteria during screening should specify Percent Defectives Allowable (PDA) and allowable parameter drift.

Failure Mechanisms/Screening MethodsTechnical Rationale:Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-The EEE parts manufacturing is controlled by military specification requirements covering a variety

Despite these requirements, defects that cause early-life failures can be randomly built into a product. The scr
9、eening tests are designed to be destructive to parts with particular defects but nondestructive to good parts.As an example, integrated circuits such as CMOS are highly susceptible to electrical performance failures caused by ionic contamination on the die surface. The contamination can be introduce
10、d by any of several uncontrollable avenues during manufacture and cannot be ruled out as an occurrence in any given lot of parts. To avoid early-life failures at higher assembly levels, the lot of parts is subjected to a 100% static burn-in. The burn-in is designed to drive contamination into the di

12、inability Symposium, 1990.Impact of Non-Practice: Without screening, there could be latent failure mechanisms that could cause flight delays and/or failures. For example, two circuits on the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) spacecraft failed. The failed parts were analyzed upon return from the repair mis
13、sion and found to contain defects that would have been revealed through screening. In one case, the microcircuit had a metallization flaw; in the second, the CMOS microcircuit had contamination on the die. In another example, screening tests performed on microcircuits resulted in an 85% failure rate
14、. Subsequent failure analysis revealed that improper parts had been used.Related Practices: N/AAdditional Info: Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-Approval Info: a71 Approval Date: 2000-04-18a71 Approval Name: Eric Raynora71 Approval Organization: QSa71 Approval Phone Number: 202-358-4738Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-
