Abstract

Recent advancements in automotive technologies, most notably autonomous driving, demand electronic systemsmuch more complex than realized in the past. The automotiveindustry has been forced to adopt advanced consumerelectronics to satisfy the demand, and thus it becomes morechallenging to assess system reliability while adopting the newtechnologies. The system level reliability can be enforced byimplementing a process called condition monitoring. In thispaper, a piezoresistive silicon based stress sensor isimplemented to detect physical damages in outer moldedelectronic control units (ECU) subjected to reliability testingconditions. The test vehicle consists of six DPAK powerpackages and three stress sensors mounted on a PrintedCircuit Board (PCB). A unique algorithm is proposed andimplemented to handle the data obtained from thepiezoresistive stress sensing cells. The accuracy of measureddata is examined by Finite Element method (FEM), and thephysical changes are validated with Scanning AcousticMicroscope (SAM).
