Feasibility study of diode preconditioning
Abstract
Investigations showed that it is feasible to precondition semiconductor diodes. Tests performed on four axial-lead, glass body diode types included high temperature reverse bias, power dc or ac burn-in, and temperature cycling. Although 10 minor failures occurred among the 800 diodes tested, indications are that no gross or unexpected reliability problems are present in the production inventories.
