In this paper, an acceleration formula is described which provides direct extrapolation from test results in autoclave tests at up to at least 140C to low-humidity down to below 30XRH.
Abstract
This paper reviews all published life in humidity conditions vs life at 85C/85% RH for epoxy packages; 61 data points are used. An acceleration formula is described which provides direct extrapolation from test results in autoclave tests at up to at least 140C to low-humidity down to below 30XRH. This formula compares favorably with previously-published formulae. The possible effect of the Tg of the epoxy is recognized, and other high-temperature and low-humidity effects are disclosed. Recommendat ions are made for future tests, replacing 1000 hours at 85C/85%RH with a 20-hour test at 140C/100%RH, to reduce test time and increase test usefulness.

Recent humidity accelerations, a base for testing standards

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for formal qualification of moisture life for modem components is proposed, and the observed ratio, R o, of 1m (T/RH) to 1m(85/85) was then comparcd with the calculated ratio, Re, according to the for­ mula being investigated.

Metallization Corrosion in Silicon Devices by Moisture-Induced Electrolysis

TL;DR: In this article, the surface conductivity of thermal SiO2 was measured as a function of relative humidity and temperature, and the authors investigated the factors which determine the rate of electrolytic corrosion of the Al metallization in plastic-encapsulated ICs.

The Influence of Plastic Encapsulants and Passivation Layers on the Corrosion of Thin Aluminium Films Subjected to Humidity Stress

S P Sim, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have shown that the corrosion rate is determined by the surface conductivity of the water layer that forms on the die surface and the impurities that enter the water film from the plastic or passivation layer and the applied bias.
