ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS – LONG-TERM STORAGE OF ELECTRONIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES –
Part 6: Packaged or finished devices
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 interna-tional 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, Tech-nical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publica-tion(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 Interna-tional 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 inter-ested 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 misinter-pretation 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 be-tween 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 ex-penses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publica-tions.
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 62435-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 47: Semi-conductor devices. The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 47/2482/FDIS 47/2495/RVD

INTRODUCTION This document applies to the long-term storage of electronic components. This is a standard for long-term storage (LTS) of electronic devices drawing on the best long-term storage practices currently known. For the purposes of this standard, LTS is defined as any device storage whose duration can be more than 12 months for product scheduled for long duration storage. While intended to address the storage of unpackaged semiconductors and packaged electronic devices, nothing in this document precludes the storage of other items under the storage levels defined herein. Although it has always existed to some extent, obsolescence of electronic components and particularly of integrated circuits, has become increasingly intense over the last few years. Indeed, with the existing technological boom, the commercial life of a component has become very short compared with the life of industrial equipment such as that encountered in the aer-onautical field, the railway industry or the energy sector. The many solutions enabling obsolescence to be resolved are now identified. However, se-lecting one of these solutions should be preceded by a case-by-case technical and economic feasibility study, depending on whether storage is envisaged for field service or production, for example: • remedial storage as soon as components are no longer marketed; • preventive storage anticipating declaration of obsolescence. Taking into account the expected life of some installations, sometimes covering several dec-ades, the qualification times, and the unavailability costs, which can also be very high, the solution to be adopted to resolve obsolescence should often be rapidly implemented. This is why the solution retained in most cases consists in systematically storing components which are in the process of becoming obsolescent. The technical risks of this solution are, a priori, fairly low. However, it requires perfect mastery of the implemented process and especially of the storage environment, although this mastery becomes critical when it comes to long-term storage. All handling, protection, storage and test operations are recommended to be performed ac-cording to the state of the art. The application of the approach proposed in this document in no way guarantees that the stored components are in perfect operating condition at the end of this storage. It only com-prises a means of minimizing potential and probable degradation factors. Some electronic device users have the need to store electronic devices for long periods of time. Lifetime buys are commonly made to support production runs of assemblies that well exceed the production timeframe of its individual parts. This puts the user in a situation re-quiring careful and adequate storage of such parts to maintain the as-received solderability and minimize any degradation effects to the part over time. Major degradation concerns are moisture, electrostatic fields, ultraviolet light, large variations in temperature, air-borne con-taminants, and outgassing. Warranties and sparing also present a challenge for the user or repair agency as some sys-tems have been designated to be used for long periods of time, in some cases for up to 40 years or more. Some of the devices needed for repair of these systems will not be availa-ble from the original component manufacturer for the lifetime of the system or the spare as-sembly can be built with the original production run but then requires long-term storage. This document was developed to provide a standard for storing electronic devices for long periods SIST EN IEC 62435-6:2019



– 6 – IEC 62435-6:2018 © IEC 2018 of time. For storage of devices that are moisture sensitive but that do not need to be stored for long periods of time, IEC TR 62258-3 can be consulted. Long-term storage assumes that the device is going to be placed in uninterrupted storage for a number of years. It is essential that it is useable after storage. Particular attention should be paid to storage media surrounding the devices together with the local environment. These guidelines do not imply any warranty of product or guarantee of operation beyond the storage time given by the original component manufacturer. The IEC 62435 series is intended to ensure that adequate reliability is achieved for devices in user applications after long-term storage. Users are encouraged to request data from suppli-ers to applicable specifications to demonstrate a successful storage life as requested by the user. These standards are not intended to address built-in failure mechanisms that would take place regardless of storage conditions. These standards are intended to give practical guide to methods of long-duration storage of electronic components where this is intentional or planned storage of product for a number of years. Storage regimes for work-in-progress production are managed according to company internal process requirements and are not detailed in this series of standards. The overall standard is split into a number of parts. Parts 1 to 4 apply to any long-term stor-age and contain general requirements and guidance, whereas Parts 5 to 9 specific to the type of product being stored. It is intended that the product specific part should be read alongside the general requirements of Parts 1 to 4. Electronic components requiring different storage conditions are planned to be covered sepa-rately starting with Part 5. The structure of the IEC 62435 series as currently conceived is as follows: – Part 1 – General – Part 2 – Deterioration mechanisms – Part 3 – Data – Part 4 – Storage – Part 5 – Die and wafer devices – Part 6 – Packaged or finished devices – Part 7 – MEMS – Part 8 – Passive electronic devices – Part 9 – Special cases

[SOURCE: IEC 60050-561:2014, 561-03-06] 4 Storage considerations 4.1 Failure mechanisms 4.1.1 Occurrence of failure and driving force Failures during long-term storage may be mitigated by control of the stimuli and driving forces likely to initiate given failure modes of interest as defined by a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Storage related failures are often detected as modes of non-operation, vis-ual quality or other non-conformance. The modes of failure during storage are typically related to a failure mechanism that is driven by a physical stimuli or condition. Successful long-term storage is accomplished by controlling the failure mechanism stimuli as identified using a fail-ure modes and effect analysis based on information from technology development and test-ing. Table 1 provides examples of failure stimuli. Additional examples of deterioration mecha-nisms are found in IEC 62435-2. Successful long-term storage is accomplished by mitigating failures through control of the stimuli or driving force.
