RF Power Electromigration MTTF
Calculation Program
Program Functionality
This MTTF/FIT calculator software is designed to
assist our customers in estimating the LDMOS device
reliability in terms of electromigration wear--out failures.
The program evaluates LDMOS device Mean--Time--
To--Failure (MTTF) using Black’s Equations. It also
estimates the Failures--in--Time (FIT) value at the
expected base transceiver system (BTS) life span.
About the Program
This program is designed for estimating LDMOS
device electromigration failure rate. According to
electromigration theory, there are two wear--out modes
for silicon components employing aluminum as a
metallization material:
•
The formation of an electrically open circuit due to
the condensation of vacancies in the aluminum to
form voids.
•
The growth of etch--pits into silicon by the dissolu-
tion of silicon into aluminum (to short out an under-
lying junction).
The program also estimates the FIT value at the
expected base BTS life span. The calculation requires
input for the drain voltage, drain currents, case
temperature, RF input/output power and expected BTS
life.
MTTF Calculator Availability
RF Power MTTF calculators are being added to the
NXP web site for all RF Power LDMOS discrete
transistor and IC devices. MTTF calculators are
available at

RF High Power Models
NXP continues to populate its RF High Power
Model Library with FET
2
, MET and Root models. All
product models available in the RF High Power Model
Library (FET
2
, MET and Root) include package, bond
wire and internal matching network effects.
The FET
2
and MET models for RF High Power
transistors and RF ICs are nonlinear models that
examine both electrical and thermal phenomena and
can account for dynamic self--heating effects of device
performance. They are specifically tailored to model
high power RF transistors and RF ICs used in wireless
base station applications.
Implemented in the Keysight Advanced Design
System and AWR Microwave Office®, the FET
2
and
MET models are capable of performing small--signal,
large--signal, harmonic-- balance, noise and transient
simulations. Because of their ability to simulate
self--heating effects, the FET
2
and MET models are
more accurate than existing models, enabling circuit
designers to predict prototype performance more
accurately and reduce design cycle time.
