Peregrine Semiconductor Reliability System

The Quarterly Reliability Report is a compilation of reliability stress test results that crosses the entire product & technology family of Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation products. Data is collected on a regular basis through the efforts of product and process qualifications, standard product monitoring and lot acceptance testing. To date, a total of 36,688 devices have been tested in HTOL with a total of 3.5 billion equivalent device hours. The overall failure rate for the PSC family of products is 0.26 FIT at 55°C and 60% UCL. Peregrine Semiconductor reliability testing standards conform to industry standard qualification procedures as detailed in the JEDEC and/or Military Standard guidelines. In addition, where clear guidelines have not been established yet, Peregrine Semiconductor has developed stringent reliability requirements to ensure consistent high reliability performance. Peregrine Semiconductor makes use of accelerated life testing results, along with thermal acceleration factors in the prediction of failure rates. High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) stress testing is performed at accelerated voltage and temperature conditions which are based on MIL-STD-883 M1005.9 and Jedec JESD22 A108 standards. Resulting data collected from HTOL tests is de-rated (accelerated) to a typical operating temperature of 55°C. Early Life Failure Rate (ELFR) is derived after 48-hr performance. Peregrine Semiconductor conducts an ongoing product reliability monitoring program to evaluate sample products from high volume, major product families on a quarterly basis. The reliability monitoring process is a continuously improving system within Peregrine Semiconductor as we strive for superior product knowledge and performance. Peregrine Semiconductor performs the majority of reliability testing using an ISO17025 certified test laboratory located in San Jose, California. Regular auditing of the laboratory is performed to ensure compliance to ISO standards.


Failure Rate Calculation


Failure Rate Calculation (continued)

Failure in Time Calculation

Mean time to failure (M.T.T.F.) is defined as the average time it takes for a failure to occur. Failure in Time (F.I.T.) is the number of units predicted to fail in a billion (1e

9)

device hours at a specified temperature. After the life test is completed and accelerated device hour data is calculated, the failure rate is estimated using the Chi-Square approximation (χ

2) as follows:

where:

χ2 = chi square function

r = number of failures

EDH = equivalent device hours (units tested x test hours x AF)

Sample Calculation

Given: Units Tested (Sample Size) = 231 devices

Test temperature = 150°C

Test duration = 500 hours

Failures = 0

EDH = (231 x 500 x 259.2) = 2.99E+7 equivalent device hours

χ2 @ 60% confidence level and 0 failures = 1.83

FIT (60% confidence level) = [1.83 / (2 x 2.99E+7)] x 1.0E+9 = 30.6 FIT
