BS EN 60749-29:2011

What is BS EN 60749-29 - Latch-up test of integrated circuits for semiconductor devices about?  

BS EN 60749-29 is the 29th part of an international standard used for semiconductor devices that specifies the test method for integrated circuits. By using BS EN 60749-29 you can manufacture good quality semiconductor devices.  

BS EN 60749-29 covers the I-test and the overvoltage latch-up testing of integrated circuits. This test is classified as destructive. 

Note: This test method is primarily applicable to CMOS devices. Applicability to other technologies must be established. 

Note: The classification of latch-up as a function of temperature is defined in 3.1 and the failure level criteria are defined in 3.2
