METHOD 1033
ENDURANCE LIFE
1. PURPOSE
. Endurance life is performed in order to demonstrate the quality and reliability of nonvolatile memory
devices subjected to repeated write/erase cycles. This method may also be used in a screening sequence or as a
preconditioning treatment prior to conducting other tests. It may be desirable to make end point, and where applicable,
intermediate measurements on a serialized device basis or on the basis of a histogram distribution by total sample in order
to increase the sensitivity of the test to parameter degradation or the progression of specific failure mechanism with cycles,
time, or temperature.
1.1 Terms and definitions
.
1.1.1 Endurance
. The number of write/erase cycles a device can tolerate before failing to perform to specification.
1.1.2 Write/erase cycle
. The act of changing the data from original to opposite to original in all bits of a memory device.
This may be done for all bits in parallel or serial, e.g., block, byte, or bit.
1.1.3 Data retention screen
. The unbiased baking at high temperature to accelerate the loss of charge from the storage
node.
2. APPARATUS
. The apparatus required for this test shall consist of equipment capable of write/erase cycling the
devices, a controlled temperature chamber for performing a data retention bake, and suitable electrical test equipment to
make the specified interim and end point measurements.
3. PROCEDURE
. The devices shall be write/erase cycled (all bits) for specified maximum number of cycles, followed by
electrical test, the specified data retention bake and electrical test. Interim pull points shall use the same sequence of cycle,
electrical test, data retention bake, and electrical test.
3.1 Test condition
. The case temperature, cycle time, data retention bake, and electrical test temperatures and
conditions will be specified in the applicable device specification or drawing (see 4).
3.2 Failure criteria
. No device is acceptable that exhibits:
a. Inability to write or erase across the temperature range.
b. Inability to retain data.
c. Inability to read at specified timing conditions, across the temperature and supply voltage range.
d. Inability to be write/erase cycled a minimum number of times n.

d. Requirements for preconditioning, if applicable, and procedure if different than in 3.
e. Cycle conditions including temperature, type (e.g., block, byte, or bit) and write/erase pulse duration and repetition
rate.
f. The sample plan including number of devices to be cycled and acceptance number.
g. End-point and interim electrical test criteria.

a. Protective absorbant mats (paper/plastic)
b. 2 2000 ml containers
c. 2 1000 ml beakers
d. 2 mixing magnets
e. 2 hot plates for mixing
f. Whatman 42 filters (0.005µ)
g. 500 ml funnel
h. Fisher bell jar with stopper
i. Filtration base with vacuum accessories (fisher allied filtrator #9-788 11 cm base)
j. Vacuum pump, hoses, and clamps
k. 15 ml beaker
l. 50 ml beaker
m. 2 250 ml beakers
n. Watchglass or evaporating dish
o. Petri dish
p. Drummond 0.1 ml pipettes and plunger
q. Graduated cylinder
r. Vacuum oven
s. Heating oven
t. B1 filter / polyvar (or olympus PMG3 inverted microscope)
u. 52 film - 400 ASA
v. 57 film - 3000 ASA
3. PROCEDURES
. The following procedures shall be followed in performing the Dye Penetrant test. This technique
utilizes a low viscosity, anaerobic liquid penetrant (Resinol) which is mixed with a fluorescent powder (Yellow Dye G) and a
anaerobic accelerator (17724).
