Ruikai's PCT pressure-accelerated aging chamber meets IEC60068-2-66, JESDEC-A110 and A118. Three control modes are unsaturated dry/wet-bulb temperature control, unsaturated heating-temperature control and moist saturated control. Moisture-related failures include ingress, polymer depolymerization, reduced polymer bonding, corrosion, voids, wire-bond separation, interlead leakage, chip/die-attach delamination, pad corrosion and metallization/interlead shorts. Electronic-package effects include corrosion failure, delamination/cracking and changes in molding-material properties. PCB failure modes: blistering, cracking and solder-resist delamination. Semiconductor PCT tests package moisture resistance under severe temperature, humidity and pressure. Poor sealing allows ingress through resin or resin/leadframe interfaces, causing popcorn effects, corrosion-related metallization opens and contamination-related interpin shorts. IC evaluation covers DA Epoxy, leadframe materials and encapsulating resin. Moisture, bias and impurity ions cause electrochemical aluminum-wire corrosion, opens and migration growth. Aluminum/alloys are used for low cost and simple processing. Moisture enters epoxy from the start of molding, causing corrosion/opens and quality-control difficulties. Different epoxies, improved molding and passivation films have been pursued, but miniaturization keeps aluminum corrosion a major challenge. Process: ① Moisture enters the plastic package and resin/wire gaps; ② It reaches the chip and reacts with aluminum. Accelerating factors: ① Poor resin/chip-frame bonding due to different expansion rates; ② Encapsulant impurities/ionic contamination; ③ High phosphorus concentration in passivation films; ④ Film defects. Popcorn effect: Silver die-attach paste absorbs moisture. If sealed without precautions, downstream soldering heat vaporizes the moisture, rupturing the package with a popping sound. It occurs above 0.17% absorbed moisture. In P-BGA packages, both silver adhesive and substrate absorb water, causing similar failures if poorly controlled. Entry paths: 1. Water absorbed by chips, leadframes and SMT silver paste; 2. Water absorbed by molding compound; 3. High molding-room humidity; 4. Post-encapsulation diffusion through compound and mechanical-bond gaps at leadframes. Gaps larger than 3.4*10^-10m allow water molecules through the encapsulation. Hermetic packages are moisture-insensitive and are normally evaluated by hermeticity/internal moisture tests rather than accelerated temperature/humidity testing.

PCT pressure-aging chamber has a vessel/water heater producing 100% humidity and 100℃ → +143℃; condensed steam penetration can cause PCT failures. PCT pressure-cooker/saturated-steam tests place samples under severe temperature, saturated 100%R.H. steam, and pressure to assess humidity resistance/moisture uptake and high-pressure steaming of PCB&FPC, IC, metals, and related materials.
Safer standard design: rounded inner chamber prevents condensation drips and complies with national safety-vessel requirements. In-house technology: large color LCD touchscreen controller; side cable port facilitates external-load and internal-data connections, with network monitoring through optional interfaces. Fully automatic water replenishment: the system adds all required test water at startup for uninterrupted testing. Low-noise design: operating noise as low as 65db.
