The Shanghai Bodong inTEST ATS-545 high and low temperature shock tester is used for chip reliability testing. Its functions in this context include functional testing, which involves checking the parameters, indicators, and performance of chips; in other words, it’s like testing whether the “baby” born after a long gestation is a mule or a horse. There is also performance testing – since there are countless potential points where defects can arise during chip manufacturing, even chips from the same batch of wafers and packaged products can vary in quality. Therefore, screening is necessary. This article focuses on the application of the Shanghai Bodong inTEST ATS-545 in chip reliability testing. The reason for using this tester is similar to picking out stones from eggs – i.e., discarding those defective chips. Reliability testing ensures that chips that pass functional and performance tests are indeed of good quality. However, it’s also necessary to determine whether these chips will be damaged by static electricity, whether they can function properly during thunderstorms, hot summers, or snowy weather, and how long they can last – whether that’s one month, one year, or ten years. All of these aspects need to be assessed through reliability testing. Hence, it’s essential to conduct performance tests on chips under different temperature conditions to ensure they can function properly in complex environments. As a result, customers chose the ATS-545 high and low temperature shock tester for these tests. The methods for chip reliability testing are as follows: 1. Place the chip in the specially prepared testing fixture； 2. Connect one end of the sensor to the corresponding interface on the heat flux hood, and the other end to the surface of the chip ； 3. Move the heat flux shield of the high and low temperature shock test machine ATS-545 to the fixture platform and press it down to secure it ； 4. Start the high and low temperature shock test machine ATS-545; heat it to the temperature level required for the test ； 5. Start the chip testing equipment to conduct performance tests on the chip at -45 degrees and 84 degrees, and record the data ； Customer case of the high and low temperature shock tester ATS-545: A microelectronics company in Chengdu purchased the high and low temperature shock tester ATS-545 from Bordin.
