| Summary: | Reliability experiments on hybrid circuits are usually carried out by accelerated ageing test. The circuits
or the components under test are stored at an elevated ambient temperature and the change of their
electric properties is controlled at regular times. The situation becomes entirely different if the temperature
rise is due to the power dissipation in the component under test and not caused by external
means. In electronic circuits, power dissipations are expressed by a mean value, whereas the actual
situation is generally a time-dependent function. The temperature will then also be time dependent.
Therefore, ageing tests on thick film resistors will be presented in this contribution. Resistors are
submitted to a DC power source and a pulse shaped one. Different ageing characteristics are observed. |
