Reliability Monitor Report Date: Apr 13, 2011 Executive Summary The intent of the Reliability Monitor Program is to measure the reliability of previously qualified devices on a quarterly basis. This is achieved by selecting representative devices within a process, package or business unit and performing a series of reliability tests to ensure that the reliability has maintained over time. Listed below are the overall results for the last quarter. 1. High Temperature Operating Life (125-150 C; 0 failures) Failure Rate: 12 FITS (4,108K device-hours) Note: The Exponential Model is used to derive FIT rates (60% Confidence; E A = 0.6 ev). Also, Thermal and Voltage Acceleration are used to compute the overall acceleration factor. Weighted acceleration factors (WAF) for a group of products are calculated by taking the weighted average of each device s acceleration factor multiplied by its corresponding device hours. All failures were inconclusive. 2. Data Retention Bake (150 C; 0 failures) Failure Rate: 23 FITS (347K device-hours) Note: The Exponential Model is used to derive FIT rates (60% Confidence; E A = 0.6 ev). Since there is no bias applied during testing and the stress temperature is fixed for all devices at 150 C, the acceleration factor is 117 for all groupings. 3. Temperature Cycle (-65 C to 150 C, 500 cycles) * Failure Rate: 0.00% (0 failures out of 231 units) 4. Temperature Humidity Bias (85 C/85%RH) and HAST (130 C/85%RH) * Failure Rate: 0.00% (0 failures out of 308K device-hours) Note: A 20:1 Acceleration Factor is used to combine HAST results with THB). 5. Steam Pressure Pot (121 C/100%RH) * Failure Rate: 0.00% (0 failures out of 231 units) RELIABILITY MONITOR -- ATMEL PROPRIETARY 1 * indicates that preconditioning is performed prior to the stress test.

Definitions Data Retention Bake (DRB): This test is used to measure a device s ability to retain a charge for extended periods of time without applying voltage bias. Stressing at high temperatures (150 C for plastic packages) accelerates any discharge causing the memory state to change. Failures In Time (FITS): This is the unit measure for expressing failure rates and is identical to the expression PPM/K hours. For example, three failures out of a million components tested for one thousand hours equates to 3 FITS. High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL): The purpose of this test is to accelerate thermally activated failure mechanisms through the use of high temperatures (typically between 125 C and 150 C), increased voltage, and dynamic bias conditions. Readouts at various time points are taken to determine the Early Failure Rate (EFR) and Intrinsic Failure Rate (IFR). EFR is expressed in defective parts per million (DPPM) and IFR is expressed in Failures in Time (FITS at 55 C). Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST): The purpose of this test is to evaluate a plastic packaged component s ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions with extreme temperature and humidity levels. The parts are stressed to high temperature (130 C) and relative humidity (85%RH) conditions in a biased state to achieve maximum acceleration. Steam Pressure Pot (SPP): The test is used to evaluate a plastic packaged component s ability to withstand severe conditions of pressure (15 psig), temperature (121 C), and humidity (100%RH). Temperature Cycle (TC): This test is used to measure a product s sensitivity to thermal stresses due to differences in expansion and contraction characteristics of the die and mold compound by repeated alternating temperature dwells between high and low temperature extremes. Temperature Humidity Bias (THB): The purpose of this test (85 C/85%RH) is identical to HAST. The only difference is that HAST accelerates THB by a factor of 20:1 due to the increase in temperature during test. RELIABILITY MONITOR -- ATMEL PROPRIETARY 12
