How to Use the Reliability Test Plan Template

When to Use This Template

Deploy this template when qualifying new semiconductor products or validating design changes before mass production.

  • New IC package qualifications requiring AEC-Q100 or JEDEC JESD47 compliance
  • PCB assembly process changes triggering IPC-9701 thermal cycling validation
  • Customer-mandated reliability audits before production release or second sourcing

What This Template Covers

This template structures a complete stress test protocol with measurable acceptance criteria and traceability.

  • Sample matrices defining lot quantities, serialization schemes, and control units
  • Stress condition tables specifying exact temperatures, voltages, durations, and chambers
  • Failure analysis triggers, stop criteria, retest rules, and approval workflows

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Teams often underspecify test conditions or skip critical preconditioning, invalidating results and delaying qualification.

  • Vague acceptance criteria like "no failures" without defining functional limits
  • Missing JEDEC moisture sensitivity preconditioning before temperature cycling or reflow
  • Inadequate sample sizes yielding statistically insignificant data per AEC standards

Example Filled Template

Reliability Test Plan - Sensor ASIC Rev C

Objective

Validate Rev C metal stack change before automotive customer sample release.

Applicable Standards

AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and internal spec REL-009 Rev F.

Stress Conditions

Stress Condition Sample Acceptance
HTOL 150 C, VDD max, 1000 hr 3 x 77 0 fails
HAST 130 C, 85% RH, 96 hr 3 x 77 0 fails

Read Points

Electrical read at 0, 168, 500, and 1000 hours for HTOL.

Failure Handling

Any parametric drift above data sheet limits triggers FA hold and reliability review.
