The goal of the project is the determination of accelerated life test methods of long term leakage and break down failures of MLCCs.  The work is a continuation of Phase 1.  Specific deliverables of Phase II include the following:

• Creation of a test vehicle for use in long term life and accelerated testing of MLCC components
• Design of test board
• Fabrication of test vehicle
• Population of test board with functional MLCCs
• Creation of fixtures and test equipment cables and peripherals at NIST
• Testing of DOE variables from Phase I at NIST Boulder Facility
• Completion of screening experiments at NIST
• Collection of data and data mining resulting failures for trends and insight
• Failure analysis of test output “Failures as defined in Phase I”
• NIST to coordinate FA with Suppliers
• Phase II Report
