Overview
This part of IEC 60749 provides a life test method for assessing the reliability of non-hermetically sealed semiconductor devices under constant heat, humidity, and electrical stress. There are no known limitations to the scope of application. Conditions for temperature, humidity, and electrical stress are applied to accelerate the penetration of moisture through the external protective material (encapsulant or seal) or along the interface between the external protective material and the metallic conductors passing through it.
