4.2.3 Pressure Cooker Technique [20]<br />

Texas Tech University, Nivetha Shivan, May 2012<br />

The chamber used for this technique was Tabai Espec Pressure Cooker TPC- 410.<br />

Pressure Cooker test (PCT) is performed to determine <strong>the</strong> ability <strong>of</strong> an IC package to<br />

withstand severe conditions <strong>of</strong> temperature, humidity and pressure. According to JEDEC<br />

specification, <strong>the</strong> package is subjected to 121+/- 2 ˚C, 100% RH and 15PSIG for<br />

specified number <strong>of</strong> hours. A device is said to be defective if one or more <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

following events happen:<br />

1. Electrical test failures<br />

2. Failures seen under acoustic microscopy such as die cracks.<br />

4.3 Techniques used for verifying Device Functionality<br />

4.3.1 Electrical Tests [21]<br />

Advantest T5593 is <strong>the</strong> ATE which was used to verify <strong>the</strong> device functionality prior and<br />

post stresses. Figure 4.8 shows <strong>the</strong> functional block diagram <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tester.<br />
