Characterization Services






Thermal

Thermal Characterization
As operating frequency increases and transistors decrease in size, the power densities of devices are becoming higher and higher. The need for small form factor and functional integration (MCM/SiP) present some challenges to thermal management. ATXKS provides simulation and measurement services that help our customers to overcome these thermal issues. These services include:

Throughout pre-design phases:
Package thermal resistance simulation
Heat sink effect evaluations
Preliminary thermal studies for advanced packages

Throughout design phases:
Hot spots impact evaluations
Customized heat sink effects

Throughout post-design phases:
Thermal measurements

Thermal measurements include the measurements for package thermal parameters:
JA (Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance)
JC (Junction-to-case thermal resistance)
JB (Junction-to-board thermal resistance)
JT (Junction-to-top thermal characterization parameter)
JB (Junction-to-board thermal characterization parameter)



Electrical

Stress & Reliability

Reliability Characterization
Reliability characterization is used to analyze package reliability through measurement. Analysis also consists of root cause investigation into packaging failure (like die crack, delamination) and optimal design for low stress and high reliability. Our characterization service includes:

Board Level Reliability Test and Simulation
Temperature cyclic test
Drop test (under set up)
Failure analysis

Silver epoxy: Outgassing / Delamination / Void / Bleed
Substrates: Warpage / Contamination / Crack
Flux: Flux residue / Outgassing / Corrosion
Lead frame: Contamination / Moisture uptake
Under fill: Delamination / Void
