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 />
