Printed circuit boards and their assemblies (PCB & PCBA) are the core components of electronic products, and their reliability directly determines the overall reliability of electronic products. To ensure and enhance the quality and reliability of electronic products, it is essential to carry out comprehensive physical and chemical analyses of failures, identify the underlying failure mechanisms, and then propose corresponding improvement measures. MTT possesses profound technical expertise in board-level failure analysis, a complete range of analytical methods, a vast database of case studies, and a team of experienced experts, providing you with high-quality and efficient failure analysis services.
The purpose of electronic component failure analysis is to employ a variety of testing and analytical techniques and procedures to identify the failure phenomena of electronic components, determine their failure modes and mechanisms, identify the ultimate root cause of failure, and propose recommendations for improvements in design and manufacturing processes. This helps prevent the recurrence of failures and improves the overall reliability of the components.
The continuous rise in complexity and performance requirements of integrated circuits, combined with potential risks across design, manufacturing, packaging, and application stages, has led to frequent occurrences of critical failure modes such as short circuits, open circuits, leakage, burnout, and parameter drift. These issues not only result in costly device scrapping and system downtime but also often trigger disputes over responsibility among designers, foundries, packaging and testing houses, and end-users, causing significant economic losses and reputational risks.
The performance requirements for polymer materials continue to rise, while differences in understanding of high-demand products and processes between customers and suppliers often lead to frequent failures such as fracture, cracking, corrosion, and discoloration. These failures frequently cause disputes over responsibility and result in significant economic losses.
The increasingly harsh service environments of metal components place higher demands on material performance and structural reliability. However, factors such as design flaws, material defects, manufacturing deviations, or improper use can readily trigger typical failures including fatigue fracture, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, creep, wear, and overload deformation.

Environmental Reliability

Automotive environmental reliability testing is of great significance, as it can simulate a variety of extreme environments to verify whether a vehicle maintains stable performance under complex conditions. Such testing helps identify potential issues in advance, prevents failures during actual operation, improves product quality and safety, reduces after-sales costs, and enhances market competitiveness.

Environmental Reliability

| Introduction to Reliability Testing

 

Reliability testing refers to activities carried out to evaluate whether a product can maintain its functional reliability throughout its specified service life, under all anticipated environments such as use, transportation, or storage. It involves subjecting the product to natural or artificially created environmental conditions in order to assess its performance under actual usage, transport, and storage environments, while also analyzing the extent and mechanisms of environmental influences.

 

 

| Purpose of Reliability Testing

 

By using various kinds of environmental test equipment to simulate climatic conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, high temperature with high humidity, and temperature variations, the product’s response to usage environments can be accelerated. This process validates whether the product meets the intended quality targets set during research, design, and manufacturing, thereby enabling an overall evaluation to determine the product’s reliability lifespan.

 

 

| Necessity of Reliability Testing

 

Reliability testing helps to identify product weaknesses, confirm process and manufacturing defects, and provide suggestions for improvements. It assists enterprises in enhancing process levels, extending product lifespan, and improving quality. Furthermore, it offers technical support for R&D and production, enabling the creation of high-quality products and enhancing a company’s market competitiveness.

高温试验

High-temperature test

高温对产品有很多影响,如老化、氧化、化学变化、热扩散、电迁移、金属迁移、熔化、汽化变形等,通常周围环境每上升10℃,产品寿命就会减少到四分之一;当周围环境温度上升20℃,产品寿命就会减少一半,产品寿命遵循“10℃规则”,因而高温试验作为最常用的试验,用于元器件和整机的筛选、老化试验、寿命试验、加速寿命试验,同时在失效分析的验证上起重要作用。

High temperatures have numerous impacts on products, including aging, oxidation, chemical changes, thermal diffusion, electromigration, metal migration, melting, vaporization, and deformation. Typically, for every 10 °C increase in ambient temperature, the product’s lifespan is reduced to one-quarter; when the ambient temperature rises by 20 °C, the lifespan is reduced by half. Product longevity follows the “10 °C rule.” Therefore, high-temperature testing is one of the most commonly used methods, applied to component and system-level screening, aging tests, service life tests, accelerated lifetime tests, and it also plays a crucial role in validating failure analysis.
