MIL-PRF-38535K
APPENDIX G
G.3.2.2.1 QML certification and qualification test plan (see G.3.3g). Before a management and technology
validation is scheduled, the manufacturer should submit to the QA a TRB approved test plan with milestone charts
outlining the tests to be used to certify processes and the tests and devices to be used to qualify the certified
processes to the requirements of 3.4.1. The TRB shall determine the tests to be accomplished on the TCV, SEC,
and parametric monitor and submit to the QA a test plan with parametric limits and accept and reject criteria.
G.3.2.3 Status report. The manufacturer's TRB shall submit a status report to the QA describing the health of the
QML manufacturer's line including all changes and the criticality of the changes in microcircuit quality, reliability,
performance, and interchangeability. The manufacturer should retain the support test data. The QA can request to
review the supporting data. The following areas should be addressed in each status report: (The information in the
status report may be addressed in various ways, such as, copies of TRB meeting minutes, summary of major actions,
etc.)
a. Field returns and corrective actions.
b. SPC and continuous improvement program update (e.g., defect density summary, in-process reliability
monitors, Capability Index of process center (Cpk) programs, etc.).
c. SEC and TCV test data summary, including radiation data if applicable.
d. Design facility.
e. Fabrication line.
f. Assembly facility.
g. Test facility.
h. Major changes.
i. Newly qualified packages.
j. Third party activities.
k. Yield issue trends and corrective actions.
The interval of the status reports to the QA shall be determined by the TRB, but should be as a minimum, quarterly
for the first year following the attainment of QML status and as a minimum, semiannually (no further than six months
apart) thereafter. If major problems with the technology are encountered, more frequent reports may be required by
the QA to keep informed of the status. In addition to the above report, the manufacturer shall make a presentation
yearly to the QA outlining the status of the technology, products offered, future trends and other strategic business
plans of the technology including foreseen changes. At the discretion of the QA, this presentation may be in lieu of a
status report.
