devicec: Integrated circuit accelerated life test data

Description Format Source

Description

Observations from an accelerated life test performed on an integrated circuit device called "Device C". Failures were caused by a chemical reaction inside the circuit package. Reliability engineers tested 10 circuits at five different temperatures over a period of 3000 hours. The purpose of the experiment was to estimate the activation energy of the failure-causing reaction and to obtain an estimate of the integrated circuit life distribution at an 80 degrees celsius junction temperature.

Format

A data.frame with 26 rows and 4 variables:

[, 1] celsius Temperature to which a device was exposed during the test Numeric
[, 2] kilohours Accumulated time at event Numeric
[, 3] event Event observed at hours (failure/right-censored) Categoric
[, 4] count Number of events observed at hours Numeric
