摘要
A model is presented to optimize bum-in time based on product yield. A relationship between yield and reliability is developed and demonstrated with tests on a 130nm SRAM test device. Voltage and thermal acceleration are added to this model to appropriately scale predictions to product use conditions. High-voltage test screening is found to have a similar effect as bum-in in reducing infant mortality and thus can also be incorporated into this model. A conditional reliability model is needed to model the effects of both bum-in and high-voltage screening; these effects cannot be modeled as if they simply reduce the defectivity of the population. This approach can be used to predict the amount of high-voltage test screening and bum-in needed in order to qualify a production device built with the same technology.
