Product reliability and qualifications for high consequence/low volume integrated circuits: Discussion group, Oct. 10, 2017

High consequence ICs and discrete components: • Medical implantable devices, life-support systems, aeronautics, automotive safety to self driving cars, satellites, defense, etc. Low volume: • Manufacturers of unique parts with a small fabs • Small companies that can buy only a few wafer lots from a highvolume foundry. Product reliability evaluation and qualifications are based on low volume, and hence, low statistical sample sizes. • How to develop effective screening of weak parts? • How to verify the required reliability?
