This document is the Qualification Manual for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) by Lucent Technologies. The manual outlines Lucent Technologies' quality policy and quality principles, including customer value, partnership, leadership, ownership, process management, and continuous improvement. The manual aims to achieve sustained business excellence by delivering superior value, building long-term relationships, developing leaders, fostering personal involvement, managing work efficiently, and implementing improvements.
The manual begins with Lucent Technologies’ quality policy and principles, outlining the company’s commitment to customer value, partnership, leadership, ownership, process management, continuous improvement, and fact‑based decision making. It then details the shared methods used for quality planning, deployment, problem‑solving, and benchmarking across the organization.
The core of the document covers the FPGA product qualification process, including technology and device qualification plans, intrinsic reliability data, and a comprehensive list of environmental, mechanical, and electrical tests (e.g., High‑Temperature Operating Bias, Temperature‑Humidity Bias, Thermal Shock, Steam Bomb, etc.). It also describes the role of the Qualification Review Board, test specifications for various FPGA series (ATT3000, ORCA), and procedures for re‑qualification and reliability monitoring.
| High‑Temperature Operating Bias (HTOB) | 150 °C, 4.1 V (3.3 V devices) / 150 °C, 6.2 V (5.0 V devices) |
|---|---|
| Temperature‑Humidity Bias (THB) | 85 °C / 85 % RH |
| Thermal Shock (TS) | –55 °C to +125 °C (liquid to liquid) |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level (CnPRE) | 30 °C to 85 °C / 60 % RH to 85 % RH, 6‑168 hrs |
