3D CHIP STACK WITH THROUGH-SILICON VIAS (TSVS): Identifying, Evaluating and Understanding Reliability Interactions |
JEP158 | Nov 2009 |
To increase device bandwidth, reduce power and shrink form factor, microelectronics manufacturers are implementing three dimensional (3D) chip stacking using through silicon vias (TSVs). Chip stacking with TSVs combines silicon and packaging technologies. As a result, these new structures have unique reliability requirements. This document is a guideline that describes how to evaluate the reliability of 3D TSV silicon assemblies. Free download. Registration or login required. |

A PROCEDURE FOR EXECUTING SWEAT:Status: Reaffirmed October 2012, September 2018 |
JEP119A | Aug 2003 |
This document describes an algorithm for performing the Standard Wafer Level Electromigration Accelerated Test (SWEAT) method with computer controlled instrumentation. The algorithm requires a separate iterative technique (not provided) to calculate the force current for a given target time to failure. This document does not specify what test structure to use with this procedure. However, users of this algorithm report its effectiveness on both straight-lines and via-terminated test structures. Some test-structures design features are provided in JESD87 and in ASTM 1259M - 96. Committee(s): JC-14.2 Free download. Registration or login required. |

DISCONTINUING USE OF THE MACHINE MODEL FOR DEVICE ESD QUALIFICATIONStatus: Reaffirmed September 2020 |
JEP172A | Jul 2015 |
Over the last several decades the so called "machine model" (aka MM) and its application to the required ESD component qualification has been grossly misunderstood. The scope of this JEDEC document is to present evidence to discontinue use of this particular model stress test without incurring any reduction in the IC component's ESD reliability for manufacturing. In this regard, the document's purpose is to provide the necessary technical arguments for strongly recommending no further use of this model for IC qualification. The published document should be used as a reference to propagate this message throughout the industry. Committee(s): JC-14.3 Free download. Registration or login required. |

FAILURE MECHANISMS AND MODELS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES |
JEP122H | Sep 2016 |
This publication provides a list of failure mechanisms and their associated activation energies or acceleration factors that may be used in making system failure rate estimations when the only available data is based on tests performed at accelerated stress test conditions. The method to be used is the Sum-of-the-Failure-Rates method. This publication also provides guidance in the selection of reliability modeling parameters, namely functional form, apparent thermal activation energy values and sensitivity to stresses such as power supply voltage, substrate current, current density, gate voltage, relative humidity, temperature cycling range, mobile ion concentration, etc. Committee(s): JC-14.2 Available for purchase: $163.00 Add to Cart Paying JEDEC Members may login for free access. |

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.
