  • Automotive Onboard Charger (OBC) GaN Platform: Critical process parameter dictating AEC-Q100 Grade 0 thermal stability and functional safety.
  • Process Window Optimization: Maximizing exposure, etch, deposition, and polishing margins to maintain Cpk > 1.67.
  • Contamination & Defect Mitigation: Eliminating killer particles, gate oxide micro-defects, and mobile ionic contamination.
  • Mission-Critical Durability: Ensuring 15-to-20-year operational lifetimes under harsh engine-compartment vibration and thermal cycling.

AEC-Q101 High-Temperature Reverse Bias (HTRB) Testing

Advanced process integration ensures tight sub-nanometer critical dimension tolerances, zero-defect contamination margins, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 compliance.

Metrology, statistical process control (SPC Cpk > 1.67), inline inspection, and Part-Average Testing enable high-volume automotive manufacturing yield with zero escapes.

  • AEC-Q101 High-Temperature Reverse Bias (HTRB) Testing: Rigorous in-situ optical emission spectroscopy, real-time RF plasma monitoring, and automated robot tracking.
  • Thermal Budget & Junction Profiling: Preserving abrupt dopant profiles and silicide thermal stability up to +150°C.
  • High-Voltage Breakdown Protection: Preventing avalanche punch-through, dielectric rupture, and parasitic latch-up.
  • Yield Impact: Direct correlation between unit step CD uniformity and total good functional automotive die per wafer (DPW).
$$\text{BFOM} = \epsilon_s \mu E_{\text{crit}}^3, \quad R_{\text{on\_sp}} \approx \frac{4 V_{\text{BR}}^2}{\text{BFOM}}, \quad \text{DPAT Zone} = \mu \pm 3\sigma$$
