MIL System Overview

The document provides an overview of the MIL system for electronic components used by the US Department of Defense and NASA. It describes the roles of organizations like DSCC in standardizing parts and qualifying manufacturers. Key parts of the system include military standards like MIL-STD-883 that define test methods, general specifications that specify requirements by part family, and detailed specifications for individual parts. The document also discusses quality levels for different part types, ranging from space-level reliability to basic military screening levels. It notes the transition from a part-qualified to a manufacturer-qualified approach.

Qualification and Quality Conformance Procedure - TM 5005
5 groups of tests and inspections: A, B, C, D, E
l

intended for use in initial qualification, requalification (if product or process changes), and periodic testing for retention of qualification (QCI: Qualification Conformance Inspection) 2 classes: class S (Space level) and class B (military level)
Group A Class S &B: Electrical Tests - Table I Class S: Package tests (physical dimensions, Resistance to solvent, solderability, bond strength, seal...) + Life test - Table IIa Class B: Package tests (Resistance to solvent, solderability, bond strength) - Table IIb Group C Class B only: Life test, as already included in table IIa for Class S (group B) - Table III

Performed on each delivery lot (on samples) Group B

Performed periodically (3/6months) (not necessarily on delivery lot) Group D

Class B & S: Package tests - Table IV

Group E

Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) tests - Table V

General Specifications
Old spec: MIL-M-xxx, -C-xxx, ... (still applicable for some families) => "New spec": MIL-PRF-xxx
l

PRF = Performance - To reflect acquisition reform : Dont tell the manufacturers how to manufacture their parts, just tell them how you need the parts to perform => from QPL to QML (Qualified Part list / Qualified Manufacturer List)

MIL-PRF-38535: "General Specification for Integrated Circuits (Microcircuits) Manufacturing" Superseding MIL-M-38510
l

Quality levels: classes M, N, T, Q, V (also called QML-N, -M, -T, -Q, -V) - Refers to MIL -STD-883 Test methods
u

Class M: covered by MIL-PRF-38535 appendix A. Class M products require a vendor self certification, not a DSCC certification. DSCC performs verification audit of M level suppliers. Documented in a SMD. Class N: plastic parts. Covered by tables for plastic parts called out in MIL-PRF-38535. Class T: Satellite and similar applications: Class T performance is defined in the manufacturers QM plan and approved by the qualifying activity. Documented in a SMD. Class Q: Hermetic (non plastic) products. Military level covered by MIL-PRF-38535 main body + appendixes C, D, E, F, G, H, J. Documented in a SMD. Class V: Space level: class Q + appendix B requirements. Documented in a SMD. QML Q Class B ("Mil") / QML V Class S ("Space")

u u

u l

Q & V = main used levels


u

BUT Q & V level devices may have optimization of test (test elimination, lower cost ...), due to years of data on production (with DSCC approval). => QML approach.
u

Class M: manufacturer not qualified & certified by DSCC, but "self certified 883B", with DSCC validation audit. No test optimization (all "883B tests" must be performed).

l

Definition: "The reliability rating are established on the basis of life tests for Failure Rate Levels (FRL's) ranging from :
a. 1.0 percent per 1,000 hours to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours in accordance with MIL-STD-690. These FR levels are established at a 60-percent confidence level and are maintained at a 10-percent producer's risk (Exponential distribution). b. 0.1 percent per 1,000 hours to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours at a 90-percent confidence level (Weibull distribution)."

"From QPL to QML"


QPL: Qualified Part List
l

Old system based on a part by part qualification

QML: Qualified Manufacturer List


l

This new system (1991) is process oriented and allows device manufacturers to qualify an entire line TRB system (Technical Review Board): periodical data review and management of eventual process changes (design, Technology, screening, QCI...) First QML devices = microcircuits => specified on SMDs - Written by manufacturer Extended to 3 families => 4 QML lists:

l l

QML-19500: QML-31032: QML-38534: QML-38535:

Semiconductor Devices Printed Circuit Board/Printed Wiring Board Hybrid Microcircuits Advanced Microcircuits

Main change: allows flexibility to qualified & certified manufacturers, from the baseline defined in MIL-STD-xxx Test Methods => test optimization

Conclusion and analysis


MIL system is widely used for EEE parts selection in CNES and European Space Projects
l l

Class 1 & 2 projects (low risk): S/V level or JANS Class 3 & 4 projects (risk-cost compromise): B/Q level or JANTXV

MIL-STD-883 (ICs) and MIL-STD-750 (discrete) specifications are reference documents for test methods, also in ESCC documents BUT, questions are open concerning quality level of MIL products, compared with ESCC products, mainly for QML Q/V level for which manufacturer is authorized to suppress some tests. Indeed, it is difficult, today, to know which tests have been suppressed...
