EN IEC 60749-13:2018

Semiconductor devices - Mechanical and climatic test methods - Part 13: Salt atmosphere

IEC 60749-13:2018 describes a salt atmosphere test that determines the resistance of semiconductor devices to corrosion. It is an accelerated test that simulates the effects of severe sea-coast atmosphere on all exposed surfaces. It is only applicable to those devices specified for a marine environment. The salt atmosphere test is considered destructive. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) alignment with MIL-STD-883J Method 1009.8, Salt Atmosphere (Corrosion), including information on conditioning and maintenance of the test chamber and mounting of test specimens (including explanatory figures).

L’IEC 60749-13:2018 décrit un essai d’atmosphère saline réalisé pour déterminer la résistance à la corrosion des dispositifs à semiconducteurs. Il s’agit d’un essai accéléré qui simule les effets d’une atmosphère côtière corrosive sur toutes les surfaces exposées. Il n’est applicable qu’aux dispositifs spécifiés pour un environnement maritime. L’essai d’atmosphère saline est considéré comme destructif. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) alignement avec la norme MIL-STD-883J, Method 1009.8, Salt Atmosphere (Corrosion), y compris les informations sur le conditionnement et la maintenance de la chambre d’essai et sur le montage des spécimens d’essais (y compris les figures explicatives).

Polprevodniški elementi - Metode za mehansko in klimatsko preskušanje - 13. del: Solna atmosfera (IEC 60749-13:2018)

Ta del standarda IEC 60749 opisuje preskus v solni atmosferi, ki določa odpornost polprevodniških naprav proti koroziji. To je pospešeno preskušanje, ki simulira vplive hude oblike atmosfere ob morski obali na vse izpostavljene površine. Uporablja se samo za tiste elemente, ki so namenjeni uporabi v morskem okolju.
Preskus v solni atmosferi se obravnava kot porušitveni.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60749-13 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 47:
Semiconductor devices.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) alignment with MIL-STD-883J Method 1009.8, Salt Atmosphere (Corrosion), including
information on conditioning and maintenance of the test chamber and mounting of test
specimens (including explanatory figures).
