scope:

This specification establishes the general requirements for integrated circuits or microcircuits and the quality and reliability assurance requirements which must be met for their acquisition. detail requirements, specific characteristics of microcircuits, and other provisions which are sensitive to the particular use intended shall be specified in the device procurement specification. Quality assurance requirements outlined herein are for all microcircuits built on a manufacturing line which is controlled through a manufacturer quality management (QM) program and has been certified and qualities in accordance with requirements herein. The manufacturing line shall be a stable process flow for all microcircuits. A single level of product assurance (including radiation hardness Assurance (RMA)) is provided for in this specification. The certification and manufacturer to be listed on a Qualified manufacturer Listing (QML). After listing of a technology flow on a QML, the manufacturer must continually meet or improve the established baseline of certified and qualified procedures, the quality management (QM) program, the technology review board (TRB), the status reporting and quality and defines the tests which must be performed on each product built. NOTE: This specification requires a manufacture to establish a baseline. As the technology natures and reliability and quality data are gathered, the manufacturer through the quality management (QM) program and the technology review board (TRB) may modify, substitute or delete tests. Notification of such action shall be detailed in the status reports submitted to the qualifying activity.
