Rising Global Demand
Semiconductors are crucial components of all emerging technologies from 5G networks to AI and green electricity. Semiconductor demand will continue to increase approximately 4-5% per year, with an estimated need for an increase in semiconductor manufacturing capacity of over 50% by 2030.
With the advanced technology development demands of electric vehicle and AI server, automotive electronics and AI server have many complicated data management and control systems. The electric vehicle control-systems have evolved from small isolated controllers to complex distributed computer-systems, in which the signals required between each module transmitted through many independent circuits.
To ensure these electronic components met the highest standards for operating resilience in high-temperature and high-heat running environments, The Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) released a set of standards, including the family members of the AEC Component Technical Committee - AEC-Q100 (for IC Chips), AEC-Q101 (for Discrete Components), AEC-Q102 (for Discrete Optoelectronic Components), AEC-Q103 (for MEMS, Microelectromechanical Systems), AEC-Q104 (for MCM, Multi-Chip Modules), and AEC-Q200 (for Passive Components).
AEC released the AEC-Q007 specification in March 2024, which is for automotive Board Level Reliability (BLR) testing, designed in conjunction with PCB that details the test methods for automotive PCB and daisy chain. It elaborates on PCB and Daisy Chain designs, with Daisy Chain design being the BLR board-level reliability test commonly heard in the industry.
The evolution of semiconductor manufacturing technology has also made integrated circuit electronic components size smaller.
The smaller the IC components size, the semiconductor product testing reliability such as warping, delamination, cracks and manufacturing process challenges begin to appear.
The requirements and strictness of semiconductor reliability testing, failure analysis and life estimation have also increased, that needs to conduct environmental simulation testing such as condensation, breathing, temperature and humidity combination, wet freezing, temperature cycle, etc.
The lifetime testing of IC components and parts is prolonged, and the testing time needs to be shortened effectively. Therefore, accelerated life and forced moisture absorption test must be carried out by PCT (Pressure Cooker Test), HAST (Highly Accelerated Temperature and Humidity Stress Test), uHAST (Unbiased Highly Accelerated Stress Test) testing.
King Son Test Chambers and Solutions for Semiconductor
With the properties of both a conductor and an insulator, a semiconductor is commonly found in most electronic devices, mainly software chips and batteries. Silicon is one of the most common materials labeled as a semiconductor. The quality of a semiconductor is determined by temperature and can be dramatically altered because of it. King Son offers temperature and humidity testing chambers that aid in determining reliability of the product based on rigorous conditions it may be prone to due to temperature conditions.
For example, the novel King Son VMR series (VMR-S, VMR-F, VMR-3A) evaluation system and SIR measurement system can conduct the customization design integration test either with King Son made or 3rd party brand Temperature Cycling Test Chamber, Thermal Shock Test Chamber, HAST+ Highly Accelerated Stress Test Chamber, Constant Temperature and Humidity Test Chamber or Electric-dynamic Shaker.
