WG 6 - TC 47/SC 47A/WG 6

Gives the methodology for technology and failure analysis in manufacturing integrated circuits. Technology analysis is used to determine the way a component is built by observing it using adequate resolution, which increases progressively with the level of analysis.

Establishes the characteristics of standard evaluation components (SEC) used for verifying capability and reliability.

Defines how to apply the principles and requirements given in IEC 61739 to monolithic integrated circuits. The standard is applicable to those manufacturers of integrated circuits (ICs) who apply for manufacturing line approval. The objective is to establish consistency in the requirements used by manufacturers and auditors for techniques related to integrated circuit manufacturing. Each manufacturer may use his own methods for satisfying the requirements of this standard, provided that the required level of control in the manufacturing line is reached.

Establishes the general requirements for delivery of qualified products through manufacturing line approval under the IECQ system and for registration in the Qualified Manufacturer List (QML). Also describes procedures and requirements for approval, qualification and registration of manufacturing line, for maintenance of the QML, for audits and for the automatic qualification of products from the approved manufacturing line.
