High-Temperature Operating Life

13 Test, Reliability, Yield & Failure Analysis

Notation HTOL

Definition

High-temperature operating life (HTOL) is an accelerated semiconductor reliability test in which powered devices operate for an extended time at elevated junction temperature, often with voltage stress.

Application

HTOL is used to accelerate time-dependent failure mechanisms, estimate long-term device reliability or FIT rates, and qualify semiconductor products under standards such as JESD22-A108.
