APPENDIX A
A.4.7 Test results. The results of all qualification and quality conformance tests and inspections and the results of
all required failure analysis shall be recorded and maintained in the manufacturer's facility in accordance with A.4.8.
The Quality Assurance Program Plan, qualification test reports, summary of QCI data, and any other data reports
required by the applicable acquisition document shall be maintained by the manufacturer (or submitted to the
acquiring activity when specified in the purchase agreement). The disposition of all lots or samples submitted for
wafer lot acceptance, screening (when PDA is specified), quality conformance inspection or qualification shall be fully
documented and lots which fail any specified requirement shall be recorded as failed lots whether resubmitted or
withdrawn. Disposition of resubmitted lots shall likewise be recorded so that a complete history is available for every
lot tested from initial submission to final disposition including all failures, resubmissions, and withdrawals.
A.4.7.1 Screening test data for class level S microcircuits. When specified in the acquisition document, a copy of
the attributes test data, a copy of the variables data, and the delta calculations resulting from the applicable delta
parameter tests before and after each burn-in, and a copy of the X-rays required by the device specification or
drawing shall accompany each lot of class level S microcircuits shipped. The manufacturer shall maintain one
complete copy of all screening data for 5 years after delivery of the parts. This data shall be legible and shall be
correlatable to the applicable PIN, the lot date code, and the individual serial number. The data shall be verified by
the manufacturer's quality assurance organization and shall bear evidence of such verification.
A.4.8 Quality assurance program.
A.4.8.1 Manufacturer certification. The manufacturer shall establish, implement, and maintain a quality assurance
program in accordance with A.4.8 through A.4.9.3.8 (summarized in table A-X) in order to be a manufacturer of class
level B microcircuits. The manufacturer's quality assurance program shall demonstrate and assure that design,
manufacture, inspection and testing of microcircuits are adequate to assure compliance with the applicable
requirements and quality standards of this specification. Where the manufacture or any portion of the manufacturing
and testing operation is other than the manufacturer's facility, it shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer to
secure and prove the documentation and control of the quality assurance program as described herein. The program
shall be documented as follows:
a. Design, processing, manufacturing, and testing instructions (A.4.8.1.1).
b. Records to be maintained (A.4.8.1.2).
c. Quality assurance program plan (A.4.8.1.3).
All required documentation shall be available at, and continually effective in, the manufacturer's plant while it is
producing microcircuits which are intended to be offered for qualification and quality conformance inspections under
this specification. All required program documentation and records shall be available for review by acquiring activity
upon request. The acquiring activity shall have access to nonproprietary areas of the manufacturer's plant for the
purpose of verifying its implementation, and the Government shall have access to all areas of the manufacturer's
plant for the purpose of verifying its implementation.
Personnel performing quality functions shall have sufficient well defined responsibility, authority, and the
organizational freedom to identify and evaluate quality problems and to initiate, recommend, and provide solutions.
