Specifying Warranty: Must Understand Reliability of Product • Bathtub Reli Curve: (Failure Rate vs Time) Area under curve = total failures • Warranty Period << Useful Life • Try to minimize total failures in warranty period reduce field failures Infantile Period ~ Constant Failure Rate Minimize or Precipitate using ESS in factory Warranty Period Using ESS (Environmental Stress Screening) Warranty Period
n X S i i = 1 m = = X n n 2 S ( X - X ) i s i = 1 = s = n - 1 Basic Statistics Review Example: The following data represents the amount of time it takes 7 people to do a 355 exam problem. X = 2, 6, 5, 2 ,10, 8, 7 in min. n = 7 where X = index notation for each individual. where n = 7 people i i whereS X = Sum of the individual times where X and m = Average or Mean Calculate the mean(average): Equation i n = 7 people Mean:X = (2+6+5+2+10+8+7)/7 = 5.7 minutes where s = s = Standard Deviation Sum or Variance Calculate the standard deviation: Equation Step 1 Step 2 (Xi - X) (Xi - X) 2-5.7= -3.7 13.69 6-5.7= .3 .09 5-5.7 = -.7 .49 2-5.7 = -3.7 13.69 10-5.7 = 4.3 18.49 8-5.7 = 2.3 5.29 7-5.7 = 1.3 1.69 S(Xi - X) = 53.43 Step 4 Definition: Range = Max - Min Median = Middle number when arranged low to high Mode = Most common number This Example: Range = 10 - 2 = 8 minutes Median = 6 minutes Mode = 2 minutes 2 53.43 Square each one Then Add All s = s = 7 - 1 Standard Deviation: = 2.98 minutes s = s 2 Step 3 Std Deviation is a measure of the inherent spread in the data

Target Specification Limit 3s Std Deviation vs Spec Limits Area under curve Is probability of failure 1s 66807ppm PPM = Part per Million Defects Z is the number of Std Devs between the Mean and the spec limit. The higher the value of Z, the lower the chance of producing a defect Z = 3s Much Less Chance of Failure 1s 3.4ppm* * Assumes Z is 4.5 long term Normal Distribution Z = 6s

Causes of Electronic Systems Failure Reliability ofElectronic Circuits • Failures can generally be divided between intrinsic or extrinsic failures • Intrinsic failures- Inherent in the component technology • Electromigration (semiconductors, substrates) • Contact wear (relays, connectors, etc) • Contamination effects- e.g. channeling, corrosion, leakage • CTE mismatch and other Interconnection joint fatigue • Extrinsic failures- External stress to the components • ESD or Electrostatic discharge energy • Electrical overstress (over voltage, overload, overheat) • Shock (Sudden Mechanical Impact) • Vibration (Periodic Mechanical G force) • Humidity or condensable water • Package Mishandling, Bending, Shear, Tensile • Many “random” and infantile failures of components are due to extrinsic failures • Wearout failures are usually due to intrinsic failures

Ionic Test Methods for PCBs Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Test Method IPC-TM-650 2.3.25The ROSE test method is used as a process control tool (rinse) to detect the presence of bulk ionics. The IPC upper limit is set at 10.0 mg/in2 .(1.56ug/cm2) This test method provides no evidence of a correlation value with modified ROSE testing or ion chromatography. This test is performed using an ionograph or similar style ionics testing unit that detects total ionic contamination, but does not identify specific ions present. Non destructive test. Modified Resistivity of Solvent Extract (Modified ROSE)The modified ROSE test method involves a thermal extraction. The PCB is exposed in a solvent solution at a predetermined temperature for a specified time period. This process draws the ions present on the PCB into the solvent solution. The solution is tested using an ionograph-style test unit. The results are reported as bulk ions present on the PCB per square inch, similar to the standard ROSE method above. Can be destructive. Ion Chromatography IPC-TM-650 2.3.28This test method involves a thermal extraction similar to the modified ROSE test. After thermal extraction, the solution is tested using various standards in an ion chromatographic test unit. The results indicate the individual ionic species present and the level of each ion species per unit area. This test is an excellent way to pinpoint likely process steps which are leaving residual contaminants that can lead to early reliability failures. Destructive test.

More Reason to use R(t) and not MTBF Example • An electronics product team has a goal of warranty cost which requires that a • Minimum reliability after 1 year be 99% or higher, R(1yr) >= 0.99. Assume Constant • Failure Rates. • What MTBF should the team work towards to meet the goal? Recall Equations: R = e -lt and MTBF = 1/l Solve for MTBF: MTBF = 1/ l = 1/ {(-1/t) * ln R }, R = 0.99, t = 8766 hrs MTBF >= 872,000 hours (99.5 yrs) ! What is your product warranty cost goal expressed as an R(t)?: Answer:What is the scrap or repair cost of a given % of failures during the warranty period? Need to know, annual production, and an assumed R(t). Good products have less than 1% annualized warranty cost as a percentage of the total contribution margin for that product.
Intro to Reliability Estimation • Each l may be impacted by other factors or stresses, p: • Some commonly used factors • pT = Temperature Stress Factor • pV = Electrical Stress Factor • pE = Environmental Factor • pQ = Quality Factor • Overall Component l = lB * pT * pV * pE * pQ Where lB = Base Failure Rate for Component
Reliability Prediction Methods/Standards • Bellcore (TR-TSY-000332): • Developed by Bell Communications Research for general use in electronics industry although geared to telecom. • Highest Stress Factor is Electrical Stress • Data based upon field results, lab testing, analysis, device mfg data and US Military Std 217 • Stress Factors include environment, quality, electrical, thermal • US Military Handbook 217F: • Developed by the US Department of Defense as well as other agencies for use by electronic manufacturers supplying to the military • Describes both a “parts count” method as well as a “parts stress” method • Data is based upon lab testing including highly accelerated life testing (HALT) or highly accelerated stress testing (HAST) • Stress factors include environment and quality
Reliability Prediction Methods/Standards • HRD4 (Hdbk of Reliability Data for Comp, Issue 4): • Developed by the British Telecom Materials and Components Center for use by designers and manufacturers of telecom equipment • Stress factors include thermal as well as environment, quality with quality being dominant • Standard describes generic failure rates based upon a 60% confidence interval around data collected via telecom equipment field performance in the UK • CNET: • Developed by the French National Center of Telecommunications • Similar to HRD4, stress factors include thermal as well as environment and dominant quality • Data is based upon field experience of French commercial and military telecom equipment
Reliability Prediction Methods/Standards • Siemens AG (SN29500): • Developed by Siemens for internal uniform reliability predictions • Stress factors include thermal and electrical however thermal dominates • Standard describes failures rates based upon applications data, lab testing as well as US Mil Std 217 • Components are classified into technology groups each with tuned reliability model
