Abstract

Burn-in is a technique widely used by the semiconductor industry to weed out potential defects. Since incompatibility exists not only at the component level but also at the subsystem and the system level, the system reliability after burn-in is usually less than what was forecasted. Compatibility factors are introduced in [1] to deal with this phenomenon. Recently, a high system reliability is required by many manufacturers. To achieve 0.999994 system reliability, we have to use burn-in as well as redundancy allocation. This paper introduces the revised algorithm to solve a mix-integer nonlinear program proposed in [2] which incorporates all level burn-in, redundancy allocation, and the compatibility factors.
