Issues Related to Counterfeit Using Used / Aged Parts – Update of Study on Detection of Aged Parts
Sultan Ali Lilani [Integra Technologies]
Abstract:
The testing of counterfeit microcircuits parts has largely been focused on physical and obvious signs of counterfeiting. The counterfeiters have gotten so good to look for any obvious signs of counterfeiting that we hardly see many physically altered failures. A big concern of the user community, especially Aerospace and Defense section, has been how reliable the parts are when used parts are sold as new. It has the potential of majority of useful life being already being consumed.
The presentation will explore the following:
- Why is it very hard to detect used parts using conventional electrical testing.
- Why is it hard to detect if the lot has parts with long term usage or extended sample life test since counterfeiters sprinkle different device pedigrees within a lot.
- If degradation of certain electrical parameters happens with usage of parts.
- If packaging material degradation happens with usage.
