Significance and Use
4.1 Solid-state electronic devices subjected to stresses from excessive current pulses sometimes fail because a portion of the metallization fuses or vaporizes (suffers burnout). Burnout susceptibility can vary significantly from component to component on a given wafer, regardless of design. This practice provides a procedure for establishing the limits of pulse current overstress within which the metallization of a given device should survive.
4.2 This practice can be used as a destructive test in a lot-sampling program to determine the boundaries of the safe operating region having desired survival probabilities and statistical confidence levels when appropriate sample quantities and statistical analyses are used.
Note 2—The practice may be extended to infer the survivability of untested metallization adjacent to the specimen metallization on a semiconductor die or wafer if care is taken that appropriate similarities exist in the design and fabrication variables.
Scope
1.1 This practice covers procedures for determining operating regions that are safe from metallization burnout induced by current pulses of less than 1-s duration.
Note 1—In this practice, “metallization” refers to metallic layers on semiconductor components such as interconnect patterns on integrated circuits. The principles of the practice may, however, be extended to nearly any current-carrying path. The term “burnout” refers to either fusing or vaporization.
1.2 This practice is based on the application of unipolar rectangular current test pulses. An extrapolation technique is specified for mapping safe operating regions in the pulse-amplitude versus pulse-duration plane. A procedure is provided in Appendix X2 to relate safe operating regions established from rectangular pulse data to safe operating regions for arbitrary pulse shapes.
1.3 This practice is not intended to apply to metallization damage mechanisms other than fusing or vaporization induced by current pulses and, in particular, is not intended to apply to long-term mechanisms, such as metal migration.
1.4 This practice is not intended to determine the nature of any defect causing failure.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

What is a Redline?
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
additions
deletions
and other changes between the two standards.
Save Time and Trouble!With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
PriceWhen you select the "Standard + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of a Standard + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.
Domestic orders are delivered via United Parcel Service (UPS) or United States Postal Service (USPS). Transit
times average 3 to 5 business days. Please be aware that UPS will not deliver packages to Post Office Boxes.
International orders are delivered via courier post services which can be either a postal service, courier
service, or a combination of both. Standard Service is untraceable. Please allow 4-7 weeks for delivery.
Please be aware that carriers will not deliver packages to Post Office Boxes. Because of the variability of
customs processes and procedures in different countries, ASTM International cannot guarantee transit times to
international destinations. Customs duty and taxes are the responsibility of the consignee.
