Semiconductor devices - Mechanical and climatic test methods - Part 5: Steady-state temperature humidity bias life test

IEC 60749-5:2023 is available as IEC 60749-5:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60749-5:2023 provides a steady-state temperature and humidity bias life test to evaluate the reliability of non-hermetic packaged semiconductor devices in humid environments. This test method is considered destructive. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The specification of the test equipment is changed to require the need to minimize relative humidity gradients and maximize air flow between semiconductor devices under test;
b) The specification of the test equipment fixtures is changed to require the avoidance of condensation on devices under test and on electrical fixtures connecting the devices to the test equipment;
c) replacement of references to “virtual junction” with “die”.

IEC 60749-5:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60749-5:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L’IEC 60749-5:2023 décrit un essai continu de durée de vie utilisant la température et l’humidité avec polarisation pour évaluer la fiabilité des dispositifs à semiconducteurs sous boîtier non hermétique dans les environnements humides. Cette méthode d’essai est considérée comme destructive. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) la spécification de l’équipement d’essai est modifiée pour exiger la nécessité de réduire le plus possible les gradients d’humidité relative et d’augmenter le plus possible la circulation d’air entre les dispositifs à semiconducteurs en essai;
b) la spécification des fixations de l’équipement d’essai est modifiée pour exiger la prévention de la condensation sur les dispositifs en essai et sur les fixations électriques reliant les dispositifs à l’équipement d’essai;
c) le remplacement des références au terme "jonction virtuelle" par "pastille".

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition IEC 60749-5:2017. A vertical bar appears in the margin
wherever a change has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in
strikethrough red text.

IEC 60749-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 47: Semiconductor devices. It is
an International Standard.
This third edition, based on JEDEC document JESD22-A101D.01, cancels and replaces the
second edition published in 2017. lt is used with permission of the copyright holder, JEDEC
Solid State Technology Association. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the specification of the test equipment is changed to require the need to minimize relative
humidity gradients and maximize air flow between semiconductor devices under test;
b) the specification of the test equipment fixtures is changed to require the avoidance of
condensation on devices under test and on electrical fixtures connecting the devices to the
test equipment;
c) replacement of references to “virtual junction” with “die”.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
47/2820/FDIS 47/2827/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60749 series, under the general title Semiconductor devices –
Mechanical and climatic test methods, can be found in the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or
• revised.
