Since the early 1980s, with significant improvement in plastic packaging of microcircuits, accelerated environmental testing has indicated continuous reliability improvements. These data have been generated by independent researchers, Universities, users and suppliers. The question which still remains concerns their use in high reliability applications for extended periods in harsh environments. Such applications would be in the military, automotive, and commercial airline markets. This report is the result of responses to a survey directed at military equipment developers. Its goal was to determine advantages and disadvantages in the use of commercial plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEMs) versus the use of MIL approved microcircuits as received by the equipment manufacturer. Responses, however, impacted all three markets, not only military.
