scope:
This method subjects unpopulated test specimens (samples) to sudden, extreme changes in temperature in order to evaluate the quality of interconnects formed during the manufacturing processes.
Purpose
This method shall be used to simulate the thermodynamic effects of extreme temperature variations. The use of this method is intended to be able to capture ''infant mortality'' types of manufacturing defects.
This method may provide for qualification, quality conformance testing and lot acceptance.
