GUIDELINE FOR CONSTANT TEMPERATURE AGING TO CHARACTERIZE ALUMINUM INTERCONNECT METALLIZATIONS FOR STRESS-INDUCED VOIDING:Status: ReaffirmedOctober 2012 |
JEP139 | Dec 2000 |
This document describes a constant temperature (isothermal) aging method for testing aluminum (Al) metallization test structures on microelectronics wafers for susceptibility to stress-induced voiding. This method is valid for metallization/dielectric systems in which the dielectric is deposited onto the metallization at a temperature considerably above the intended use temperature, and above or equal to the deposition temperature of the metal. Although this is a wafer test, it is not a fast (less than 5 minutes per probe) test. It is intended to be used for lifetime prediction and failure analysis, not for production Go-NoGo lot checking.

STANDARD METHOD FOR MEASURING AND USING THE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF RESISTANCE TO DETERMINE THE TEMPERATURE OF A METALLIZATION LINE:Status: Reaffirmed October 2012, September 2018 |
JESD33B | Feb 2004 |
This newly revised test method provides a procedure for measuring the temperature coefficient of resistance, TCR(T), of thin-film metallizations used in microelectronic circuits and devices. Procedures are also provided to use the TCR(T) to determine the temperature of a metallization line under Joule-heating conditions and to determine the ambient temperature where the metallization line is used as a temperature sensor. Originally, the method was intended only for aluminum-based metallizations and for other metallizations that satisfy the linear dependence and stability stipulations of the method. The method has been revised to make it explicitly applicable to copper-based metallizations, as well, and at temperatures beyond where the resistivity of copper is no longer linearly dependent on temperature (beyond approximately 200 °C). Using the TCR(T) measured for copper in the linear-dependent region, a factor is used to correct the calculated temperature at these higher temperatures. Committee(s): JC-14.2 Free download.

ACCELERATED MOISTURE RESISTANCE - UNBIASED HAST |
JESD22-A118B.01 | May 2021 |
The Unbiased HAST is performed for the purpose of evaluating the reliability of nonhermetic packaged solid-state devices in humid environments. It is a highly accelerated test which employs temperature and humidity under noncondensing conditions to accelerate the penetration of moisture through the external protective material (encapsulant or seal) or along the interface between the external protective material and the metallic conductors that pass through it. Bias is not applied in this test to ensure the failure mechanisms potentially overshadowed by bias can be uncovered (e.g., galvanic corrosion). This test is used to identify failure mechanisms internal to the package and is destructive. Committee(s): JC-14.1 Free download. Registration or login required. |
