Burn-in Chamber
A burn-in chamber is an environmental oven used to evaluates the reliability of multiple semiconductor devices and performs large capacity screenings for premature failure (infant mortality). These environmental chambers are designed for static and dynamic burn-in of integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic devices such as laser diodes.
Selecting Chamber Size
The chamber size depends on the size of the burn-in board, the number of products in each burn-in board, and the number of batches required per day to meet production requirements. If the interior space is too small, insufficient space between parts results in poor performance. If it is too large, space, time and energy are wasted.
Companies that are purchasing a new burn-in set-up should work with the vendor to ensure the heat source has enough steady-state and maximum capacity to match the load for the DUT.
When using forced recirculating airflow, parts benefit from spacing, but the oven can be loaded more densely vertically because airflow is distributed along the entire side wall. Parts should be kept 2-3 inches (5.1 – 7.6cm) from the oven walls.
Burn-in Chamber Design Specs
Temperature Range
Depending on the requirements of the Device Under Test (DUT) select a chamber that has a dynamic range such as 15°C above ambient to 300°C (572°F)
Temperature Accuracy
It is important that the temperature does not fluctuate. Uniformity is the maximum difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in a chamber at a specified setting. A specification of at least 1% setpoint for uniformity and 1.0°C control accuracy is acceptable in most semiconductor burn-in applications.
Resolution
A high-temperature resolution of 0.1°C will provide the best control to meet burn-in requirements
Environmental Savings
Consider a burn-in chamber that has a refrigerant that has a zero ozone layer depletion coefficient. Burn-in chambers with refrigeration are related to chambers operating in temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius down to – 55°C.
Chamber configuration
The chamber can be designed with card cages, card-slots, and access doors to simplify connecting DUT boards and driver boards with ATE stations.
Chamber Air Flow
In most cases a forced convection oven with recirculating airflow will provide the best distribution of heat and significantly speeds the time-to-temperature and heat transfer to parts. Temperature uniformity and performance depends on a fan design that directs air to all areas of the chamber.
The chamber can be design with a horizontal or vertical airflow. It is important to know the direction of inserting the DUT based on the airflow of the chamber.
Custom ATE Wiring
When it comes to measuring over hundreds of devices, inserting wires through an aperture or test hole may not be practical. Custom wiring connectors can be mounted directly to the oven to facilitate the electrical monitoring of the device with an ATE.
How A Burn-in Oven Controls Temperature
The burn-in oven uses a temperature controller executing a standard PID (proportional, integral, derivative) algorithm. The controller senses the actual temperature value versus the desired setpoint value, and issues corrective signals to the heater calling for application ranging anywhere from no heat to full heat. A fan is also used to equalize the temperature through the chamber.
The most common sensor used for accurate temperature control of the environmental oven is a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) which a platinum-based unit typically referred to as a PT100.
Sizing The Chamber
If you are using an existing oven, basic thermal modelling based on factors such as the oven’s thermal capacity and losses, heat-source output, and DUT mass will allow you to verify that the oven and heat source are sufficient to reach desired temperature with a thermal time constant short enough for tight loop response under the controller’s direction.
Burn-in Board for Reliability Testing
Semiconductor equipment that test and screen out early failures during the “infant mortality” stage are put on a board known as “Burn-in Board”. On a burn-in board, there are multiple sockets to place the semiconductor device (ie. laser diode or photodiode). The number of devices which are placed on a board can consist of low batches of 64 to over 1000 devices at the same time.
These burn-in boards are then inserted into the burn-in oven which can be controlled by an ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) that supplies the mandatory voltages towards the samples while maintaining the desired oven temperature. The electrical bias applied may either be static or dynamic.
Usually the semiconductor components (ie. Laser Diodes) are pushed beyond what they will have to go through in normal use. This ensures that the manufacturer can be confident that they have a robust laser diode or photo diode device and that the component can meet reliability and qualification standards.

Burn-in Board Applications:
During the burn-in process extreme temperatures often ranging from 125°C – 250°C or even 300°C are applied so the materials used need to be extremely durable. IS410 is used for burn-in board applications up to 155°C and typically a polyimide for applications up to 250°C.
Burn-in boards can be used in environmental testing conditions such as:
HAST (Highly Accelerated Temperature and Humidity Stress)

Burn-in Board Design Requirements:
One of the most important considerations is selecting the highest possible reliability and quality for the Burn in Board and the test socket. You don’t want your Burn in board or socket to fail before the device under test. Therefore, all active/passive components and connectors should comply with high-temperature requirements, and all materials and components should meet high-temperature and aging requirements.

A new energy vehicle is divided into several systems, MCU belongs to the body control and vehicle system, is one of the most important systems.
MCU chips are divided into 5 levels: consumer, industrial, vehicle gauge, QJ, GJ. Among them, the car gauge chip is the current vane product. So what does the car gauge chip mean? From the name, it can be seen that the car gauge chip is the chip used in the car. Different from ordinary consumer and industrial chips, the reliability and stability of the car gauge chip is extremely important, so as to ensure the safety of the car at work.

Burn-in Oven
Burn-in is an electrical stress test that employs voltage and temperature to accelerate the electrical failure of a device. Burn-in essentially simulates the operating life of the device, since the electrical excitation applied during burn-in may mirror the worst-case bias that the device will be subjected to in the course of its useable life. Depending on the burn-in duration used, the reliability information obtained may pertain to the device's early life or its wear-out. Burn-in may be used as a reliability monitor or as a production screen to weed out potential infant mortalities from the lot.
Burn-in is usually done at 125 deg C, with electrical excitation applied to the samples. The burn-in process is facilitated by using burn-in boards (see Fig. 1) where the samples are loaded. These burn-in boards are then inserted into the burn-in oven (see Fig. 2), which supplies the necessary voltages to the samples while maintaining the oven temperature at 125 deg C. The electrical bias applied may either be static or dynamic, depending on the failure mechanism being accelerated.
Figure 1. Photo of Bare and Socket-populated Burn-in Boards
The operating life cycle distribution of a population of devices may be modeled as a bath tub curve, if the failures are plotted on the y-axis against the operating life in the x-axis. The bath tub curve shows that the highest failure rates experienced by a population of devices occur during the early stage of the life cycle, or early life, and during the wear-out period of the life cycle. Between the early life and wear-out stages is a long period wherein the devices fail very sparingly.
Figure 2. Burn-in ovens
Early life failure (ELF) monitor burn-in, as the name implies, is performed to screen out potential early life failures. It is conducted for a duration of 168 hours or less, and normally for only 48 hours. Electrical failures after ELF monitor burn-in are known as early life failures or infant mortality, which means that these units will fail prematurely if they were used in their normal operation.
High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) Test is the opposite of ELF monitor burn-in, testing the reliability of the samples in their wear-out phase. HTOL is conducted for a duration of 1000 hours, with intermediate read points at 168 H and 500 H.
Although the electrical excitation applied to the samples are often defined in terms of voltages, failure mechanisms accelerated by current (such as electromigration) and electric fields (such as dielectric rupture) are understandably accelerated by burn-in as well.
