Abstract
Summary form only given. The author discusses the research conducted by Ford Microelectronics on the impact that I DDQ testing will have on the automotive IC industry. This research has been directed toward developing the tools to implement I DDQ testing, to identify failure locations, to understand what I DDQ identifies, to assess vendor quality levels, and to gauge the reliability impact. The increased sensitivity to processing problems that I DDQ testing provides makes it possible to detect infant mortality and early life failures before they become functionally bad. This has been substantiated through lower burn-in failures and life test studies
