Comparison test philosophies

– fast testing, – levels, – “new”– no standards– destructive (TTF)– RCA always necessary– new test– combined stress

– fast testing, – levels, – “new”– based on standards– destructive (TTF)– RCA always necessary– existing tests– single stress

– longer testing,– pass/fail,– proven, – standards,– non-destructive– RCA when necessary– existing tests– Sinle stress– good simulation– field experiences,

HALT testingROSE testingSimulation testing

Goals of ROSE

• more insight in product quality and robustness• quantification of product quality & comparisons

(progress/competitors)• time reduction: faster testing and “better” results• cost reduction: prevent overkill• mmt summary: one page overview

What is ROSE

• Method to determine product robustness

– Presentation - One page overview– Destruction – Upper operating/destruct limits– Based on standard tests and equipment

• No HALT/HASS– ROSE is in between– HALT/HASS is 6 axis omnidirectional vibration– HALT/HASS is forced temperature changes

Conclusions/summary

• Clear: one page overview product quality– gives insight in strong and weak parts, as well as relationships– enables comparisons (previous revisions and competitors)

• Levels: quantification (KPI) for reliability level – reliability progress measurable– quantifyable control over all product revisions

• Insight: no pass/fail, but margin to fail– knowing how far from base quality level gives insight in work to be done– no need to do all tests again, concentrate on low robust/improvement areas (focus)– shows and prevents overkill in design

• Effective: selected/limited tests• more frequent tests gives more insight in progress and focus areas • more effective testing, insight in failure mechanisms• overall shorter leadtime

• cultural fit• concrete vs discrete: no p/f, but levels (digital vs analog)

- Insight- Focus- Time/Costs

Lessons learned• Root cause analysis very important and will be more detailed• Monitoring very important• One page overview works very fine• Due time significantly reduced• Difficult to address right failure mechanisms• Additional to simulation testing (share between partners)• Other way of thinking, paying back in costs (Schneiderman)• Test labs need to be prepared (equipment/competence!!)• Predecessor of HALT• Management commitment/ filosophy to find failures (e.g. China)

Todays request

when testing, in your daily work:

• think once about what will happen with extended test• think about what will happen at changed conditions• keep an eye on ROSE and HALT, but do not forget your

current position and capabilities

• Be aware that you are using it already….

The HALT Procedure1. Define a HALT team with multiple disciplines (Project Leader,

Mech. resp, Elect. resp, Test executer)

Mech. Resp. and Elect. Resp: looking for root causes and implement corrective actions

2. Define the EUT and how to test (closed, open, cabling, …), fixation

3. Get the Operating Temperature and Vibration specifications (from Marketing/Sales or Customer) ………………………………………..

4. Define the Target Operational Limits for Temperature and Vibration ……………………………………………………………………………………..

5. Make an FMT (Functional Monitoring Test) and define the coverage (must cove at least the major functionality) ………….…

6. Check LN2-Volume left before extensive testing.

7. Fix the EUT in the chamber ……………………………………………………….Vibration Jig: stiff (transferring vibration energy at all frequencies)

low thermal inertion (cooling and heating rate)

open structure (air flow)

low weight (G level)

minimum number of resonances

8. Connect the accelerometers and the thermocouples ……………….

9. Run at least one FMT cycle before start of HALT

Before HALT


The HALT ProcedureDuring HALT

1. Continuously perform the FMT (it is not a humidity test !)

2. Monitor all HALT Parameters as a function of time (Temp, Vibr, FMT,…)

3. List the deviations, if any

What should be corrected / what not (LCD clearance,

Deformation of plastic housings, …) ?

• Perform root cause analysis• Implement a corrective action

• Cost of corrective action (time and material) ?

• Delay in product release ?

• Risk of non-implementation ?

• Benefit for other products ?

• Fundamental limit of technology ?

• Perform a verification HALT

Note: Do not “explain issues away” as this does not improve the reliability. It is a repeated “Stress – Fail – Fix” process.


The HALT Procedure1. Thermal Step Stress Test

LTOL

Start at ambient Temperature

10 °C Decrements

Minimum dwell time = 12minutes

3. Vibration Step Testing (VOL)

Minimum 3 thermal cycles

UTOL – 5°C

LTOL + 5°C

Minimum dwell time = 10 minutes

Start at 5 gRMS

5 gRMS Increments

The HALT Procedure5. Thermal Step Stress Test (if no Destructive Limits are encountered

during previous testing)

LTDL

UTDL


The HALT ProcedureAfter HALT

1. Make report (Report should be finished as Test is finished)

• Product identification

• Description of product fixture

• Location of response sensors

• Deviations from the standard HALT process

• FMT

• Detail of occurrences of unit degradation

• Root cause analysis + Corrective actions implemented

(Resulting in Engineering Changes)

• Summary of reached levels

2. Store all HALT data (so that the test sequence can be reproduced afterwards).

3. Clean up.

4. Keep test unit (if possible).


The HALT Procedure

• HALT in Barco is considered as being successful when:

• target limits are reached,• when failures occur, the failures are understood,• corrective actions are taken,• the product limits are clearly defined and pushed

as far as possible.


Practical Tips

• have knowledge of the equipment• LN2 Storage • LN2 Pressure stabilization (how it works)

• Max cooling performance versus max efficiency• Air pressure & Flow rate• fixation of EUT & pipes

Defining the Target Operational Limits• No standard known, only guidelines, product dependent

For Barco Defined Products, the specification is the basis. • Target UTOL = Spec + 48°C• Target LTOL = Spec – 48°C• Target VOL = 20 GRMS + 12 GRMS à 35 GRMS


The Target Operational Limits• Low margins indicate poor performance (short life), • High margins indicate good performance (longer life).

Typical Medical Products, • Target UOL = +45 °C + 48 °C = + 95 °C• Target LOL = 0 °C – 48 °C = - 48 °C• Target VOL = 20 g + 12 g => 35 g

Typical Avionics Products,• Target UOL = +55 °C + 48 °C = + 103 °C• Target LOL = -25 °C – 48 °C = - 73 °C • Target VOL = 20 g + 12 g => 35 g

Typical Defence Products,• Target UOL = +63 °C + 48 °C = + 111 °C• Target LOL = -42 °C – 48 °C = - 90 °C• Target VOL = 20 g + 12 g => 35

HALT HASS Multi Axis Vibration TablesWhat do we need from them?

Presented by: Keith Barber

ØVibration in 6 degrees of freedom

Degrees of freedom.In mechanical engineering it defines the number of directions that an object is free to move. For example if an object is only able to move up and down it would be described as having a single degree of freedom.

ØTypes of tables available

Laminate structure table

ØTypes of tables available

Cast aluminium construction table

ØEven vibration distribution in each axis

Cast aluminium tables respond almost like a flat square plate which exhibit a few dominate resonant plate bending modes, the frequencies of which are determined by the size of the particular table.Laminate tables are designed to smooth out some of the bending modes making vibration input more uniform across the table.


Vibration input uniformity across a laminate table


Typical input uniformity across tables of solid construction.

10kHz filter 2.5kHz FilterX1 = +40% of average grms X1 = +13% of averageY1 = -7% of average grms Y1 = 0% of average grmsZ1 = -5% of average grms Z1 = -2.5% of average grms


• Comparison of a laminate table PSD to an un-damped cast aluminium construction table.

Laminate Table Cast aluminium Tables

ØSmooth & repeatable vibration spectrum with a low Crest factor

In ESS, the vibration screening effect depends on displacement.The displacements at 3000 Hz & above are useless.

From Laws of Vibration:Displacement, X = g(3.13/F)2In vibration, the displacement is inversely proportional to the square of the frequency.

ØMaximum energy or grms in the right frequency bandwidth

A molecular measurement

Cast Tables

Laminate Table

Overlay of the two PSD’s shows how much more energy or grmsthe laminate table provides at lower frequencies. Also note the very high and potentially destructive Crest factor of the cast table.

ØMaximum energy or grms in the right frequency bandwidth

ØWhere is the vibration measured and more importantly what is being measured?

A table rated 50grms or 100grms means nothing unless it is accompanied by the following information. q Over what frequency bandwidth? q Where is the energy concentrated in that frequency band?q Where is it being measured?q Is it a Z axis measurement or an average of X, Y & Z?q Most importantly for a 6 DOF table. How much acceleration is there in the

Z axis compared to X & Y.

It would be very easy to produce a table to give 200grms but it would be very stiff, have a very high frequency band and very little displacement.

Unlike electrodynamic vibration tables whose random force is calculated against ISO 5344 there is currently no ISO standard against which to measure the grms or the force available from HALT HASS tables. Therefore it is difficult to compare like for like.

ØVibration measurement accuracy over a wide temperature range

Ideally the vibration measurement needs to take place on the vibration table where the Test Unit is located.

q ICP accelerometers cannot survive the -100°C to +200°C temperature range of the chamber due to the inbuilt electronics.

q Easy solution move it outside the chamber and measure the underside of the vibration table!?

q Transmissibility through the table to the product will probably mean that the Test Unit is receiving less vibration input than the control input or in a very resonant table it could be a lot more.

q Use charge type accelerometers that have been developed to withstand a greater temperature range and can be mounted on the table surface inside the chamber. These accelerometers can also be insulated to give them greater protection.

q Vibration response analysis with low mass accelerometers is usually carried out in ambient conditions or within the temperature range of this type of accelerometer.

Compression ModeCompression ModeShear ModeShear Mode

ØAccelerometer types

•Shear mode accelerometer offers the best solution because the crystal stack is better isolated from the base.

•ICP (integral electronics) accelerometers cannot survive the temperature range.

FAQ’s

vCan I change the PSD to reduce energy at certain frequencies?

vCan I select vibration in one axis at a time?

vCan I perform sinusoidal vibration?

vDoes a HALT HASS vibration table replace my electrodynamic table?

ØDo I need big solid expensive fixtures?

Large heavy fixtures will damp the damp the table resonances and reduce the Vibration input to the test unit.

• Reductions in design test costs by factors of 5:1.

• Reductions in design sample sizes by factors of 10:1.

What is MEOST?

• In MEOST testing, it is not the objective to pass a product, but to fail it.

• It is only through failures that the weak links of a design can be ‘smoked out’

• Failures ‘paradoxically’ mean success.• A single stress/environment is not enough

to generate failures.

Challenges

• Definition of the Maximum Practical Over Stress Level (MPOSL)

• Combination of Stresses• Finding failure modes which are

representative for field failures• Limited number of test units (3 – 10)

Reasons for Solder Joint Failure

• Poor solder joint design • Poor solder joint processing • Solder material issues • Excessive stresses applied to solder joints

Practical Experience

• Accelerated Testing of Leadfree Soldered interconnects

• Traditional (Accelerated) Testing• Definition of MPOSL for soldered

interconnects

Conclusions

• Successful Application of MEOST requires experience with the application.

• Insight in Physic of Failure is required.• If applied correctly MEOST can reduce

development time. • MEOST is not sufficient for product

qualification.

Practical Advice for

Accelerated Testing

A Series of Tests is Necessary

Chris Peterson

Accelerated, But Not Instantaneous

• The following tests should be done as step stress

– Cold only

– Heat only

– Vibration only

Chris Peterson

The following guidelines apply– Change rates as fast as possible– Dwell or soak time 10 minutes or as long as it

takes to stabilize the product and run diagnostic tests

– Start at room temperature (typically about 25 °C)

– When a failure is found, go back to the previous, less stressful, step

Chris Peterson

Combined Tests• Thermal Swings• Single Environment

with 6DoF Vibration• Thermal Swings with

6DoF Vibration• Use data from single

environment tests

Chris Peterson

How Much Time Should It Take?

Swings+

Vibe

TIME 2’ 40” 3’ 35’ 3’ 40” 2’ 32” 1’ 30” 2’ 32”

Chris Peterson

Assumptions

• Cold test uses10° C steps• Hot test uses 5° C steps

– Can be 10° C throughout, or start at 10° C and change to 5° C as you get close to melting point

• Vibe test starts at 3 g’s and moves up 3 g’s each step

Chris Peterson

Further Assumptions

• 5 thermal swings for both the thermal swing test and thermal swings with 6 DoF

• Chamber high temperature goes to 200°C and -100°C

• Times assume no failure is found, which is rare. These figures would be worst case scenario

Chris Peterson

What If There Is a Failure?• In all but thermal swings tests, go back to

the previous step which will be less stressful

• If the failure is no longer evident, step back up to the step where failure occurred

• If the failure does not go away, bring product back to laboratory ambient conditions and do failure analysis

Chris Peterson

Common Mistakes• Building the prototype to “pass” the test in

a different configuration than the end product will be in

• Trying to protect the product by using padding on the vibration table –remember, scratches don’t matter because this product WILL NOT ship

• Ignoring a failure

Chris Peterson

Sensor Placement• The product thermocouple should be ON

the product NEAR or ON the most sensitive component (heat producing or one of concern)

• Accelerometer– Ideally, on product in Z axis– Secondarily, on the fixture– If first two choices are not possible, on table

top, never table bottomChris Peterson

More Cautions

• Remember that cables see the same temperature as the product – make sure that they are suitable for the testing temperatures

• If there is a fire, DO NOT open the door. Turn on cooling and the nitrogen will remove the extra oxygen, putting the fire out

Testing Levels

Chris Peterson

• Level Name • What it Means• UDL

– Upper Destruct Limit• UOL

– Upper Operating Limit• Product Specification• LOL

– Lower Operating Limit• LDL

– Lower Destruct Limit

ó Operating limit – the point at which a unit has a soft, or recoverable, failureó Destruct limit – the point at

which a unit has a hard, or unrecoverable, failureó Operating margin – the gap

between the spec and the soft failureó Destruct margin – the gap

between the spec and the hard failure

How to Calculate Temperatures

Chris Peterson

Two Styles of HASS Profile

Chris Peterson

Differences Between Screening Styles


Precipitation DetectionMore extreme temperatures, going beyond OL

Less extreme temperatures, staying within 80-85% of OL

Looking to change defects from latent (dormant) to patent (active)

Good for field returns where a latent defect is already known

Vibration levels at half of DL Tickle vibration, very low levelsStimulation SimulationHALT beneficial in advance Good field data most beneficial

Good for field returns where a latent defect is already known

Vibration levels at half of DL Tickle vibration, very low levelsStimulation SimulationHALT beneficial in advance Good field data most beneficial

More Differences


• For the Precipitation Screen, the ramp rate is as fast as possible– Up to 100°C/minute on air

• For the Detection Screen, a slower ramp– Typically 5° to 30°C/minute on air

• Different ramps can find different failures• Dwell time needs to be long enough for product

stabilization and for a diagnostic check before the next ramp begins

In Conclusion• Remember that HALT is a discovery

test, each one an experiment• Learn from the mistakes of others so

that you can avoid making them yourself

• HASS has double check measures so that you can verify the screening strength

Chris Peterson

Enjoy Yourself as You Test• You are making products that are:

– More reliable– Safer– Faster to market– Less expensive – Fully understood

• Each of us has a chance to make a difference

Content of this presentation

1. Introduction MP3-player2. Development of new test method (pendulum)

– Requirements– Solved problems

3. Robustness test of HDD– Current test– New test method– Results

4. Recommendations

3

1: Problem

• When do the HDD’sof MP3-players fail?– Testing current

designs– Improving designs

4

1: Displacement, velocity and acceleration during drop

Important parameters• Drop height• Impact velocity• Velocity change• Pulse time• Maximum

acceleration• Contact stiffness

5

1: Hard Disc Drive

• Operating: 200 G, 1ms Half sine pulse• Non-operating: 2000 G, 1ms half sine pulse

6

1: Current protection

• Buffer HDD with ‘snubbers’– Rubber cushioning

which can deform during impact

– Pulse time increases– Maximum acceleration

decreases

7

2: Robustness test

• Drop height• 6 orientations• Performance tests

– Turn on/off test– Data transfer rate

8

2: new test method

• Measure drop height• Control on impact

orientation• Acceleration

measurements– Evaluate different

protections– Analyse effect of

shock on HDD

e=0

11

2: Problem with Pendulum• Maximum drop height of

pendulum lower than the drop height measured with the free fall test

• During the free fall little offsets occur due to rotations

• These offsets influence the maximum acceleration of the HDD

12

2: 3-D results

• Maximum acceleration on flat impacts

• Behaviour around flat impacts important

13

2: Results

14

2: Summary of pendulum results

• Pendulum makes it possible to have control on impact orientation

• Flat impact not always worst case

• Maximum acceleration can change due to offsets• First impact not always most severe impact • Velocity change decreases with an offset

• Applying an offset with pendulum gives the same result as the free fall test

15

3: Accelerations on HDD• I-pod mini

– Drop height: 50 cm– Measured: 5000 G, 0.2 ms– No failure– Spec:2000 G, 1 ms

Other players show same kind results. Much higher accelerations before failure of HDD.

16

3: Damage Boundary Curve

DBC• Critical velocity

change• Critical acceleration• Failure if both values

are higher.

17

3: Fixture

• HDD placed inside fixture

• Pendulum is used to impact fixture

• Impact time can be changed by changing contact area

18

3: Calibration of fixtureAcceleration measurements

on fixture• Every line represents one

contact area.• Increasing drop height,

larger acceleration• Increasing drop height,

larger velocity change• With short pulses and

high drop heights noise on acceleration measurements

19

3: DBC results• Supplier A

– Amax=2000 G, 1ms– ∆v =6.3 m/s

• Supplier B– Amax=1250 G, 1ms– ∆v =6.1 m/s

∆v more important for MP3-player

20

3: Effect of buffering

• A small buffer does not reduce the acceleration below the critical acceleration

• Only possible with a deformation of several mm

21

3: Effect of bouncing• Lower restitution

coefficient increases the drop height

• Drop height could be increased with factor 2.6 for Philips HDD084.

• Reducing velocity change does also reduce the maximum acceleration

22

3: DBC conclusions• Critical velocity can be measured with fixture• Critical acceleration can be measured if the impact

velocity of the pendulum is increased

• Velocity change more important for robustness MP3-player

• Reducing the bouncing could improve drop height

• Possible to evaluate effect of shock on HDD

23

4: Future research

• Higher impact velocities for pendulum. For both robustness test as for the DBC test.

• Influence of offset on velocity change• Influence of material on restitution
