This test is used to determine the effects of bias conditions and temperature on solid state devices over time. It simulates the devices’ operating condition in an accelerated way, and is primarily for device qualification and reliability monitoring. A form of high temperature bias life using a short duration, popularly known as burn-in, may be used to screen for infant mortality related failures. The detailed use and application of burn-in is outside the scope of this document.

This test method is offered as a standardized procedure to determine the total dose limit of DRAMs by measuring its refresh time tRef degradation after the device is irradiated with an X-Ray dose. This test method is applicable to any packaged device that contains a DRAM die or any embedded DRAM structure. Some indirect test methods such as wafer level characterization of total dose induced changes in leakage of access transistors are not described in this standard but are permissible as long as a good correlation is established.

This test method defines the requirements and procedures for terrestrial destructive* single-event effects (SEE) for example, single-event breakdown (SEB), single-event latch-up (SEL) and single-event gate rupture (SEGR) testing . It is valid when using an accelerator, generating a nucleon beam of either; 1) Mono-energetic protons or mono-energetic neutrons of at least 150 MeV energy, or 2) Neutrons from a spallation spectrum with maximum energy of at least 150 MeV. This test method does not apply to testing that uses beams with particles heavier than protons.

*This test method addresses a separate risk than does JESD89 tests for non-destructive SEE due to cosmic radiation effects on terrestrial applications.

This test is used to determine the terrestrial cosmic ray Soft Error Rate (SER) sensitivity of solid state volatile memory arrays and bistable logic elements (e.g., flip-flops) by measuring the error rate while the device is irradiated in a neutron or proton beam of known flux. The results of this accelerated test can be used to estimate the terrestrial cosmic ray induced SER for a given terrestrial cosmic ray radiation environment. This test cannot be used to project alpha-particle induced SER.

This test is used to determine the Soft Error Rate (SER) of solid state volatile memory arrays and bistable logic elements (e.g. flip-flops) for errors which require no more than re-reading or re-writing to correct and as used in terrestrial environments. It simulates the operating condition of the device and is used for qualification, characterization, or reliability monitoring. This test is intended for execution in ambient conditions without the artificial introduction of radiation sources.

The test is applicable for evaluation, screening, monitoring, and/or qualification of all solid state devices.  The high temperature storage test is typically used to determine the effects of time and temperature, under storage conditions, for thermally activated failure mechanisms and time-to failure distributions of solid state electronic devices, including nonvolatile memory devices (data retention failure mechanisms). Thermally activated failure mechanisms are modeled using the Arrhenius Equation for acceleration. During the test, accelerated stress temperatures are used without electrical conditions applied. This test may be destructive, depending on time, temperature and packaging (if any).

The purpose of this test method is to evaluate the reliability of nonhermetic packaged solid state devices in humid environments. It employs severe conditions of temperature, humidity, and bias that 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 which pass through it. This is a minor editorial edit to JESD22A110E, July 2015 approved by the formulating committee.

The Flip Chip Tensile Pull Test Method is performed to determine the fracture mode and strength of the solder bump interconnection between the flip chip die and the substrate. It should be used to assess the consistency of the chip join process. This test method is a destructive test.

This document, while establishing the complex nature of System Level ESD, proposes that an efficient ESD design can only be achieved when the interaction of the various components under ESD conditions are analyzed at the system level. This objective requires an appropriate characterization of the components and a methodology to assess the entire system using simulation data. This is applicable to system failures of different categories (such as hard, soft, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)). This type of systematic approach is long overdue and represents an advanced design approach which replaces the misconception, as discussed in detail in JEP161, that a system will be sufficiently robust if all components exceed a certain ESD level.

The Cycled Temperature-humidity-bias Life Test is performed for the purpose of evaluating the reliability of nonhermetic packaged solid state devices in humid environments. It employs conditions of temperature cycling, humidity, and bias that 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. The Cycled Temperature-Humidity-Bias Life Test is typically performed on cavity packages (e.g., MQUADs, lidded ceramic pin grid arrays, etc.) as an alternative to JESD22-A101 or JESD22-A110.

This standard establishes the requirements for timely notification to affected customers after a disaster has occurred at a supplier’s facility that will affect the committed delivery of product. This standard puts specific emphasis on notification, timing, and notification content which includes risk exposure, impact analysis, and recovery plans. This standard is applicable to suppliers of, and affected customers for, solid-state products and the constituent components used within.

This standard describes a nondestructive test to assess solid state device mark legibility. The specification applies only to solid state devices that contain markings, regardless of the marking method. It does not define what devices must be marked or the method in which the device is marked, i.e., ink, laser, etc. The standard is limited in scope to the legibility requirements of solid state devices, and does not replace related reference documents listed in this standard.

It will be shown through this document why realistic modifying of the ESD target levels for component level ESD is not only essential but is also urgent. The document is organized in different sections to give as many technical details as possible to support the purpose given in the abstract. In June 2009 the formulating committee approved the addition of the ESDA logo on the covers of this document. Please see Annex C for revision history.

The purpose of this document is to provide manufacturers and users with standardized methods for handling, packing, shipping, and use of moisture/reflow and process sensitive devices that have been classified to the levels defined in J-STD-020 or J-STD-075. These methods are provided to avoid damage from moisture absorption and exposure to solder reflow temperatures that can result in yield and reliability degradation. By using these procedures, safe and  damage-free reflow can be achieved. The dry-packing process defined herein provides a minimum shelf life of 12 months from the seal date.
