BS EN IEC 60749-18:2019

This standard BS EN IEC 60749-18:2019 Semiconductor devices. Mechanical and climatic test methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.110 Safety of machinery
• 25.040.99 Other industrial automation systems
• 29.020 Electrical engineering in general
• 31.080.01 Semiconductor devices in general

IEC 60749-18:2019 is available as IEC 60749-18:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 60749-18:2019 provides a test procedure for defining requirements for testing packaged semiconductor integrated circuits and discrete semiconductor devices for ionizing radiation (total dose) effects from a cobalt-60 (60Co) gamma ray source. Other suitable radiation sources can be used. This document addresses only steady-state irradiations, and is not applicable to pulse type irradiations. It is intended for military- and aerospace-related applications. It is a destructive test. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- updates to subclauses to better align the test method with MIL-STD 883J, method 1019, including the use of enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) testing;
- addition of a Bibliography, which includes ASTM standards relevant to this test method.
