Ops A La Carte Rolls Out New IC-Reliability Testing Package

Santa Clara, Calif. (March 17, 2008) – Ops A La Carte, leaders in the reliability-services testing industry, today announced the latest offering in its lineup of semiconductor reliability-testing services – IC Reliability, more commonly referred to in the industry as semiconductor reliability.

When semiconductor manufacturers begin producing goods, they need to be confident that they are producing reliable, durable components. The only way to ensure such reliability is through comprehensive testing of component parts. Ops A La Carte offers a full range of services to the semiconductor industry, to provide the level of testing their customers desire.

Many foundries lack the in-house capability to conduct semiconductor testing; when they require testing services, they turn to providers like Ops A La Carte. Among the most relied-upon tests are HASS (highly accelerated stress screening) and HASA (highly accelerated stress audit) tests. Tests such as these are crucial to establishing failure predictability in production and in practice.

HASS and HASA tests are used to test semiconductors (or other products) for durability and longevity prior to their release to the public. Products are exposed to extreme environmental conditions in an effort to detect any weaknesses, and to improve product design and quality.

Ops A La Carte conducts reliability testing during all phases of semiconductor production: from planning to development, ramp-up to maturity.

The new HASS and HASA testing procedures are designed to save semiconductor manufacturers time and money by uncovering potential durability or reliability flaws early in production, before a new or redesigned product goes to market.

Semiconductor testing requires a meticulously spelled-out reliability plan of action that can focus on each phase of the tested product’s expected life cycle. By setting forth this detailed plan, Ops A La Carte can then fold this action plan into the development process, thereby creating a unified agenda to establish and maintain product reliability.
