As the automotive industry accelerates its shift towards smart and electric technologies, the reliability of automotive electronic systems has become a crucial factor that affects vehicle safety and performance. Recently, Semitronix’s Wafer Level Reliability Measurement and Analysis System (RMAS) has been awarded the ISO 26262 TCL3 product certification by TÜV Rheinland. Meanwhile, Semitronix is pursuing the ISO 26262 TCL2 certification for its EDA tools. These actions strengthen the company’s commitment to the automotive electronics industry.
Wafer-Level Reliability (WLR) testing, as a key implementation path for Built-In Reliability (BIR), is becoming increasingly important with the growing demand for automotive chips . WLR testing is indispensable to the automotive industry, as automotive chips are subject to stringent reliability requirements. WLR testing facilitates precise monitoring of device reliability during the wafer manufacturing process, prevents material and capacity waste, and shortens the process development cycle, thereby ensuring the quality production of automotive chips.
With years of dedication to electronic parameter testing, Semitronix has accumulated profound expertise and attained widespread acclaim in the market. Developed and optimized from the existing WAT testing equipment, RMAS incorporates cutting-edge stress detection technology that enables precise measurement of key reliability parameters and collection of performance degradation details caused by stress. RMAS can synergize with Semitronix’s electronic testing equipment to perform precise reliability tests that meet the stringent requirements of automotive electronics for components and processes.
The WLR testing equipment and system integrate with core technologies, such as testing control software, reliability parameter testing, asynchronous parallel testing, full-process automatic temperature control, and real-time visualization of test data. These features deliver automated and precise solutions to the reliability challenges in IC design and manufacturing. The testing equipment and system enable rapid detection of wafer-level chips and devices at various stages, which significantly improves engineers’ work efficiency, saves considerable testing time, and ensures high-quality product delivery.
The ISO 26262 TCL3 certification obtained by RMAS demonstrates Semitronix’s capability to provide high-precision and efficient testing solutions in the automotive industry. This milestone offers more reliable and efficient technical support and services to automotive clients, aiding the industry in ushering in a new era of intelligent, safe, and efficient innovation.
