Burn-In Testing: Ensuring Device Longevity and Reliability
Burn-in testing is a fundamental part of our services at KES. This process involves subjecting semiconductor devices to elevated temperatures and electrical stress over extended periods to detect early-life failures. Our advanced burn-in systems are designed to accelerate the aging of components, ensuring that only the most reliable products make it to market.
Advanced Burn-In Systems
Our burn-in systems are among the best in the industry. They are engineered to apply consistent stress to devices, revealing any potential weaknesses early on. This rigorous testing helps prevent failures in the field, ensuring that our clients’ products maintain their integrity and performance throughout their lifecycle.
Customizable Testing Solutions
We understand that different devices require different testing conditions. That’s why we offer customizable burn-in solutions that can be tailored to specific temperature ranges, voltage levels, and testing durations. Our flexible approach allows us to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring optimal testing conditions for every device.
Reliability Testing: Guaranteeing Performance Under Stress
Beyond burn-in testing, we offer comprehensive reliability testing services to ensure that semiconductor devices can perform under various stress conditions throughout their operational life. Our reliability testing capabilities include Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) and Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT).
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
Our ESS solutions subject devices to thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity to simulate real-world operating conditions. This rigorous testing process helps identify potential weaknesses that might not be apparent under normal conditions, ensuring that devices can withstand harsh environments.
Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT)
HALT is another area where we excel. This process involves subjecting devices to extreme temperature and vibration levels to uncover design and process weaknesses. By pushing devices to their limits, we help our clients improve product robustness and extend operational lifespans.
System Level Testing: Comprehensive Validation
System level testing is crucial for validating the performance of integrated semiconductor systems. At KES Systems, we offer state-of-the-art system level testing solutions to ensure the seamless operation of complex electronic systems.
Functional Testing
Functional testing is a key component of our system level testing services. We perform functional tests to verify that all components within a system work together as intended. This process involves running the system through various scenarios to ensure that it performs reliably under different conditions.
Stress Testing
Stress testing at the system level involves subjecting the entire system to high-stress conditions to identify potential points of failure. Our expertise in stress testing ensures that systems can handle peak loads and unexpected stress without compromising performance.
Wafer Level Burn-In: Early Detection of Defects
Wafer level burn-in (WLBI) is a process that tests semiconductor wafers before they are cut into individual chips. We are at the forefront of wafer level burn-in technology, providing solutions that detect defects early in the manufacturing process.
Advanced WLBI Systems
Our advanced WLBI systems apply electrical stress to semiconductor wafers at the wafer level. This early-stage testing identifies defective dies before they are packaged, saving time and resources by preventing defective chips from progressing further in the manufacturing process.
Benefits of WLBI
The benefits of wafer level burn-in include improved yield, reduced testing costs, and enhanced overall product reliability. By catching defects early, we help manufacturers improve the efficiency of their production lines and deliver higher-quality products to the market.
Custom Burn-In Sockets: Precision and Flexibility
Burn-in sockets are a critical component of the burn-in testing process, providing the interface between the device under test and the burn-in system. At KES, we offer custom burn-in sockets designed to meet the specific needs of different semiconductor devices.
Tailored Socket Solutions
We design and manufacture custom burn-in sockets tailored to the dimensions and electrical characteristics of each device. These sockets ensure a secure and reliable connection during the burn-in process, preventing damage and ensuring accurate test results.
High-Quality Materials and Design
We use high-quality materials and precision engineering in the production of our burn-in sockets. This ensures that the sockets can withstand the harsh conditions of burn-in testing and provide consistent performance over multiple testing cycles.
Commitment to Innovation and Quality
At KES Systems, we are committed to continuous innovation and quality improvement. Our dedication to research and development ensures that we stay at the forefront of semiconductor testing technology, providing our clients with the most advanced and reliable solutions available.
