C.3 REQUIREMENTS
C.3.1 General. Microcircuits supplied to this document shall be manufactured and tested in accordance with approved
baseline manufacturing flow and the requirements herein. RHA qualified manufacturer listing (QML) manufacturers shall meet
all of the requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 and the additional requirements specified herein. The Technology Review Board
(TRB) shall not make major changes to the baselined design rules, processes, procedures, or testing without notifying the
qualifying activity prior to implementation of the change.
C.3.2 TRB duties. The TRB duties shall be as outlined in G.3.2.2.
C.3.2.1 TRB/RSS. In the case of a Radiation Source of Supply (RSS) (see 6.4.23), the RSS shall establish a TRB and
representatives from the device manufacturer, assembly facility, and test facility shall be part of the TRB. The RSS TRB shall
be responsible for all aspects of the device manufacturing process. Details of how all aspects of the device manufacturing
processes are controlled shall be documented in the RSS quality management (QM) plan. These include conversion of
customer requirements, design, wafer fabrication, assembly, test, RHA testing and verification, and characterization for device
specification.
C.3.3 RHA QM plan. A RHA QM plan shall be developed to document the major elements of the manufacturer's QML
process (G.3.3). This plan establishes the procedures to be followed to ensure that the devices meet the Radiation Hardness
Assured Capability Level (RHACL). The RHA QM plan shall be kept current and up-to-date and reflect all major changes to the
RHACL.
C.3.3.1 Qualification testing to RHA levels Qualification to a RHA level shall consist of characterization to the highest offered
RHA level of total ionizing dose (TID). The conditions for radiation testing shall consist of exposing the devices in a step-stress
manner to the highest dose level offered and as a minimum the two next consecutive lower RHA levels. The levels are
identified as follows: 3K Rad(Si), 10K Rad(Si), 30K Rad(Si), 50K Rad(Si), 100 K Rad(Si), 300K Rad(Si), 500K Rad(Si), 1M
Rad(Si). The radiation testing plan (QM Plan) and qualification to the appropriate quality and reliability assurance level for
device classes B, Q, S, V, Y or T shall be submitted for QA approval.
C.3.4 RHA/QML certification requirements. See 3.4.1 herein. In addition to standard flow certification the manufacturer’s
RHA certification testing shall be performed by a laboratory that has received suitability from the qualifying activity (QA).
