This section applies to low pressure testing of semiconductor devices. The purpose of this test is to measure the ability of components and materials to avoid electrical breakdown failure, which is caused by the weakening of the dielectric strength of air and other insulating materials when the air pressure is reduced. This test is only applicable to devices with operating voltages exceeding 1 000 V. This test is applicable to all air-sealed semiconductor devices. This tester is suitable for military and space fields. This low pressure test method is generally consistent with IEC 60068-2-13, but in view of the special requirements of semiconductor devices, the provisions of this section are used.
