• ON-LINE PROCESS CONTROL
Dimensional, mechanical and temperature stability.
This program forms an integral part of the production cycle
and acts as a feedback system to regulate and control
production processes. The test procedures, which are
integrated into the production process, were developed
after long research work and are based on the highly
developed semiconductor industry test procedures and
equipment. These measures help AVX to produce a con-
sistent and high yield line of products.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The reliability of these thin-film chip capacitors has been
studied intensively for several years. Various measures
have been taken to obtain the high reliability required today
by the industry. Quality assurance policy is based on well
established international industry standards. The reliability
of the capacitors is determined by accelerated testing
under the following conditions:
• FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION

Accelerated Damp
Heat Steady State
125ꢀC, 2UR, 1000 hours
Finished parts are tested for standard electrical parameters
and visual/mechanical characteristics. Each production lot
is 100ꢁ evaluated for: capacitance and proof voltage at
2.5 UR. In addition, production is periodically evaluated for:
85ꢀC, 85ꢁ RH, UR,
1000 hours.
