Reliability Monitoring System

What is a Reliability Monitoring System, and during which stage of the manufacturing process is it utilized?

iST’s Reliability Monitoring System is a smart test platform specifically developed for the early stages of product development. It enables real-time, in-situ monitoring for long-duration reliability testing under high voltage conditions.
As next-generation ICs for AI, high-performance computing, and advanced packaging increasingly require Burn-in testing early in development, standard commercial solutions are often unavailable. Through iST’s custom design and integration of reliability monitoring modules, customers can build flexible, precise, and responsive systems tailored to their specific validation needs. This significantly accelerates the testing cycle.

How to Tackle AI and EV Reliability? iST’s Global Smart Monitoring Breaks Through Three Key Challenges

  • What can iST do for you

    iST’s Reliability Monitoring System is built on a modular architecture that supports independent monitoring of voltage, current, and temperature for each test channel. Equipped with automated fault response and global connectivity, the system helps engineers plan design of experiments (DOE), perform debugging, and analyze lifetime behavior during the design phase. This accelerates the validation process and shortens the development cycle.

    1. Independent Channel Smart In-situ Monitoring
      Each sample can be independently monitored for voltage, current, and temperature, with real-time data feedback to ensure test precision and full traceability.
    2. Real-time Response
      If any sample encounters abnormal conditions such as excessive temperature or current, the system immediately shuts down power to that specific unit, preventing further degradation and preserving analysis accuracy.
    3. Global Connection
      The system supports real-time remote monitoring, allowing users to track testing progress from anywhere in the world. This enhances collaboration across multiple R&D and test sites.
    4. Engineering Data Analysis
      Using EDA tools, engineers can clearly observe how key parameters evolve over time during testing. These insights provide valuable guidance for product decisions prior to mass production.

  • Equipment Capacity
  • Application Scope
Reliability Testing with Real-Time In-situ Monitoring The client needed multiple independent power channels and real-time visibility into the status of each sample. However, the test setup process was complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors. To address these challenges, we developed a flexible, multi-channel power system customized to the client’s specifications, paired with versatile software control mechanisms. This solution reduced setup resources by 70%, enabled complete data collection, and ensured successful test execution. The system also allows for future configuration adjustments to support evolving customization needs.

Multi-channel power system with software control simplifies setup and enhances data accuracy.

Reliability Testing with Real-Time In-situ Monitoring The client managed a wide range of product types, requiring various instruments to support different test conditions. The setup process was overly complex and time-intensive due to the number of instruments involved. To solve this, we integrated application modules and instruments into a standardized rack-mounted system, which significantly reduced the error rate during setup. We also developed specification-compliant instruments to deliver a fully functional and versatile testing solution. This improvement not only met the client’s application needs and accelerated testing schedules, but also allowed flexible configuration adjustments for different market demands—eliminating the need for frequent equipment replacements. All test data is automatically logged, with built-in features such as power sequencing, protection, delay, and warning functions, enhancing both operational efficiency and accuracy.

Modules and instruments are integrated into a custom rack-mounted system with automated data logging and flexible configuration.
