What is BS IEC 62880‑1 - Copper stress migration test standard for semiconductor devices about ? 
BS IEC 62880‑1 is an international standard that discusses semiconductor devices for stress migration test standards, ensuring stability and operability in semiconductor applications.
BS IEC 62880‑1 is the first part of the BS IEC 62880 series that describes a constant temperature (isothermal) aging method for testing copper (Cu) metallization test structures on microelectronics wafers for susceptibility to stress-induced voiding (SIV).
BS IEC 62880‑1 method is to be conducted primarily at the wafer level of production during technology development, and the results are to be used for lifetime prediction and failure analysis. Under some conditions, the method can be applied to package-level testing.
Note: This method is not intended to check production lots for shipment, because of the long test time.

Why should you use BS IEC 62880‑1 - Copper stress migration test standard for semiconductor devices ?
Semiconductor devices are electronic components that rely on the electronic properties of semiconductor materials for their function. The stress migration SM phenomenon is a critical failure phenomenon of semiconductor device interconnects.
BS IEC 62880-1 provides users test methods to examine the susceptibility to stress voiding of the technology under examination, structures that emphasize each extreme risk of the technology, ensuring the utilization of proper test structures.
BS IEC 62880-1 provides users additional optional SM test structures for the qualification including:
- Stacked co-axial VIA chains
- Off-center stacked VIA chains
- Mesh type VIA chains (minimum line widths) with mesh-above and mesh-below the VIA
These SM test structures are intended to investigate the SIV risk in severe and specialized product geometry instances, and they are optional choices for each individual company's SM certification testing.
Adoption of BS IEC 62880-1, enables users to implement copper stress migration test to determine the susceptibility of semiconductor devices to stress-induced voiding (SIV), enabling the prevention of failure for safe operability and longevity in semiconductor applications.
