Pressure Cooker Test
(PCT)

JESD22-A102

To evaluate the moisture resistance of package.

Highly Accelerated
Stress Test(u)HAST

JESD22-A110 
JESD22-A118

BURN-IN 

GB/T 4587

To access device’s ability of bearing electric stress (voltage and current) and temperature stress (products temperature rise due to loading) for a long time.

High Temperature Reverse Bias  
(HTRB)

GB/T 4587
JESD22-A108 

To determine the effects of bias conditions and temperature on solid state devices over time.

Soldering Heat Test
(SHT)
