CLC/SR 47 - Semiconductor devices

2017-04-21: EN 62830-2:2017 is withdrawn (in accordance with BT decision D153/059, IEC 62830 series is listed in Part 2 of the CENELEC list of exemptions from parallel procedures (i.e. the list of IEC documents that are used as such in Europe))

IEC 62830-2:2017 describes procedures and definitions for measuring the thermo power of thin films used in micro-scale thermoelectric energy generators, micro heaters and micro coolers. This part of IEC 62830 specifies the methods of tests and the characteristic parameters of the thermoelectric properties of wire, bulk and thin films which have a thickness of less than 5 mm and energy harvesting devices that have thermoelectric thin films, in order to accurately evaluate their performance and practical uses. This part of IEC 62830 is applicable to energy harvesting devices for consumer, general industries, military and aerospace applications without any limitations of device technology and size.

IEC 60749-26:2013 establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying components and microcircuits according to their susceptibility (sensitivity) to damage or degradation by exposure to a defined human body model (HBM) electrostatic discharge (ESD). The purpose (objective) of this standard is to establish a test method that will replicate HBM failures and provide reliable, repeatable HBM ESD test results from tester to tester, regardless of component type. Repeatable data will allow accurate classifications and comparisons of HBM ESD sensitivity levels. ESD testing of semiconductor devices is selected from this test method, the machine model (MM) test method (see IEC 60749-27) or other ESD test methods in the IEC 60749 series. The HBM and MM test methods produce similar but not identical results; unless otherwise specified, this test method is the one selected. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) descriptions of oscilloscope and current transducers have been refined and updated; b) the HBM circuit schematic and description have been improved; c) the description of stress test equipment qualification and verification has been completely re-written; d) qualification and verification of test fixture boards has been revised; e) a new section on the determination of ringing in the current waveform has been added; f) some alternate pin combinations have been included; g) allowance for non-supply pins to stress to a limited number of supply pin groups (associated non-supply pins) and allowance for non-supply to non-supply (i.e., I/O to I/O) stress to be limited to a finite number of 2 pin pairs (coupled non-supply pin pairs); h) explicit allowance for HBM stress using 2 pin HBM testers for die only shorted supply groups.

This part of IEC 60749 establishes a standard procedure for determining the preconditioning of non-hermetic surface mount devices (SMDs) prior to reliability testing. The test method defines the preconditioning flow for non-hermetic solid-state SMDs representative of a typical industry multiple solder reflow operation. These SMDs should be subjected to the appropriate preconditioning sequence described in this standard prior to being submitted to specific in-house reliability testing (qualification and/or reliability monitoring) in order to evaluate long term reliability (impacted by soldering stress).

IEC 60749-15:2010 describes a test used to determine whether encapsulated solid state devices used for through-hole mounting can withstand the effects of the temperature to which they are subjected during soldering of their leads by using wave soldering or a soldering iron. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003 and constitutes a technical revision. The significant changes with respect from the previous edition include: - editorial change in the scope; - addition of lead-free solder chemical composition specification.

IEC 60749-20:2008 provides a means of assessing the resistance to soldering heat of semiconductors packaged as plastic encapsulated surface mount devices (SMDs). This test is destructive. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes are as follows: - to reconcile certain classifications of IEC 60749-20 and those of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C; - reference IEC 60749-35 instead of Annex A of IEC 60749-20, Edition 1; - update for lead-free solder; - correct certain errors in the original Edition 1.

Establishes a standard procedure for testing and classifying semiconductor devices according to their susceptibility to damage or degradation by exposure to a defined human body model (HBM) electrostatic discharge (ESD). The objective is to provide reliable, repeatable HBM ESD test results so that accurate classifications can be performed. This test method is applicable to all semiconductor devices and is classified as destructive.

It introduces a Device Data Exchange (DDX) format, with the prime goal of facilitating the transfer of adequate geometric data between the die manufacturer and the CAD/CAE user and formal information models that allow data exchange in other formats such as STEP physical file format, fin accordance with ISO 10303-21 and XML. The data format has been kept intentionally flexible to permit usage beyond this initial scope. This standard reflects the DDX data format: version 1.2.1.

Used to determine the resistance of a semiconductor device to thermal and mechanical stresses due to cycling the power dissipation of the internal semiconductor die and internal connectors. This happens when low-voltage operating biases for forward conduction (load currents) are periodically applied and removed causing rapid changes of temperature. The power cycling test is complementary to high temperature operating life.
