Reltech 7000 Series HTOL System

High Temperature Operation Life (HTOL) testing is performed to determine the effects of electrical bias and temperature on devices over extended periods during which potential inherent failures are accelerated.  HTOL is used for device qualification prior to product release and volume manufacture, and for routine reliability monitoring during the product life cycle.  A shorter duration version of HTOL known as Burn-In can be used to screen out infant mortalities and for Early Life Failure Rate testing (ELFR).

Reltech design and manufacture HTOL systems including high performance thermal chambers, HTOL (Burn-In) boards, driver boards and system software  and employs these systems for performing HTOL testing of its customers products. The Reltech HTOL laboratory provides multiple chambers with over 10,000 device test positions allowing many qualifications at different temperatures and electrical stimulus to be performed simultaneously.

During the past 5 years Reltech has invested in the latest HTOL system technology, providing temperature control at individual device level, which enables reliable operation of HTOL testing on low geometry devices (sub 65nm) where leakage currents vary greatly from device to device. Devices with DUT power up to 100W are also accommodated.
