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:

  • Identify unstable devices after just a few sweeps

  • Scrap earlier instead of later

  • Recover yield without changing process

  • Reduce burn-in, endurance testing, and over-engineering

  • Bottom line - Save lots of $$$

What Is ✅ LockScore™

A single stability signal. Early. Actionable.

LockScore™ is a scalar stability score derived from the geometry and repeatability of I–V behavior.

It classifies devices as:

  • 🟢 Stable — safe to scale or ship

  • 🟡 Marginal — monitor or bin conservatively

  • 🔴 Unstable — early-life failure risk

📌 ✅ LockScore™ appears after 1–5 I–V sweeps, not weeks of endurance testing.

How It Works

Designed for low friction early manufacturing insight

  1. You provide existing electrical sweep data
    from early manufacturing stages, including:

    -Wafer sort and inline parametric tests

    -Package-level electrical tests

    -Early board bring-up and manufacturing tests

  2. We compute LockScore™
    Analyzing switching-path stability and repeatability
    to isolate early-life instability before field stress

  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™ emerges after 1–5 electrical sweeps, long before endurance, burn-in, or system-level failures.

No hardware.
No fab disruption.
No IP exposure.

One Reason ✅ LockScore™ Matters

Failure doesn’t start as a spec violation

It starts as unstable internal switching paths.

Traditional tests answer:

“Does it pass today?”

✅ LockScore™ answers:

“Is this device forming reliably — or drifting toward failure?”

That earlier answer is worth tens of millions per year in advanced programs.

Big! Reason ✅ LockScore™ Matters

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 typically translate into $10-$20 million dollars per year in avoided cost and recovered value — without changing process.
