BS EN 60749-42:2014

This standard BS EN 60749-42:2014 Semiconductor devices. Mechanical and climatic test methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 31.080.01 Semiconductor devices in general

This part of IEC 60749 provides a test method to evaluate the endurance of semiconductor devices used in high temperature and high humidity environments.

This test method is used to evaluate the endurance against corrosion of the metallic interconnection of chips of semiconductor devices contained in plastic moulded and other types of packages. It is also used as a means of accelerating the leakage phenomena due to the moisture penetration through the passivation film and as a pre-conditioning for various kinds of tests.
