Early-Life Device Stability Diagnostics

Modern devices often fail after they pass electrical specs.

Mcap-Labs helps teams detect instability while it is forming, using LockScore™ — a quantitative stability metric that reveals hidden failure risk early.

✅ LockScore™ enables teams to:

  • Detect emerging instability or drift before it affects scale outcomes

  • Compare test groups, process splits, or design variants with confidence

  • Reduce uncertainty during early production, pilot builds, and rollouts

  • Inform go/no-go decisions with quantitative signals, not guesswork

  • Connect early test behavior to downstream reliability outcomes

What Is ✅ LockScore™

A single stability signal. Early. Actionable.

LockScore™ is a scalar stability score derived from the structure, repeatability, and evolution of early-life electrical or electrochemical response data.

It classifies devices as:

  • 🟢 Stable — safe to scale or ship

  • 🟡 Marginal — monitor or bin conservatively

  • 🔴 Unstable — early-life failure risk

✅ LockScore™ appears from existing data — often after far fewer test cycles than traditional methods require.

How It Works

Designed for low friction early manufacturing insight

  1. You share existing test data
    Electrical characterization, formation curves, stability tests, or other early diagnostic measurements.

  2. We compute LockScore™
    Analyze structure, repeatability, and coherence of the data to extract early-life risk signals.

  3. You receive a stability classification report

    • 🟢 Stable — safe to scale, assemble, or ship

    • 🟡 Marginal — monitor or bin conservatively

    • 🔴 Unstable — early-life failure risk

✅ LockScore™ appears from existing data — often after far fewer test cycles, long before endurance, burn-in, or system-level failures.

No hardware.
No fab disruption.
No IP exposure.

Applicable Domains

This approach applies wherever early-life stability or latent risk manifests in measurable test behavior, including:

  • Semiconductor devices & memory technologies (e.g., ReRAM, PCM)

  • Battery systems and cells (formation curves, cycling stability)

  • Power and analog components

  • Manufactured assemblies with reliability constraints

Whether your concern is electrical drift, capacity fade, thermal variability, or consistency loss, we provide the signal before you scale.

One Reason ✅ LockScore™ Matters

Failure rarely begins as a spec violation.
It begins as unstable internal switching behavior.

Traditional tests answer:
“Does it pass today?”

✅ LockScore™ answers:
“Is this device forming stably — or already drifting toward failure?”

That earlier distinction is why LockScore matters.

The Big! Reason for

✅ LockScore™

Early-life instability often leads to late scrap, excess burn-in, and conservative margins.

In advanced programs, even 0.5–2% yield improvement or earlier scrap decisions can translate into $10s of millions per year in cost savings and recovered value — without changing process!
