  • Abstract
    The wide use of plastic encapsulated MOS-LSI integrated circuits (IC) has aroused much concern regarding moisture integrity testing. This paper discusses the results of both unbiased autoclave testing and 85°C/85% R.H. testing. Comparisons are made based on failure rate data, and a heuristic acceleration factor is determined.
