The invention relates to an electronic component () having a corrosion-protected bonding connection and a method for producing said component. For this purpose the electronic component () has at least one semiconductor chip () on a substrate (). Moreover, a bonding connection at risk of corrosion is provided on the semiconductor chip (). For encapsulation of the at least one semiconductor chip () and the at least one bonding connection at risk of corrosion, said semiconductor chip and bonding connection are surrounded by a hermetically sealing housing (). The hermetically sealed bonding connection is a bonding wire connection () which is fully enclosed in the housing (), in which the substrate () is at least partially enclosed. The substrate () has at least one surface-mounted hydrolysis-sensitive component () in the housing ().

Electronic component having a corrosion-protected bonding connection and method for producing the component

A method and a device are for predicting a life expectancy of a product, which includes at least two components. The life expectancy is ascertained as a function of an assumed field loading of the product. The components of the product are acted upon by different loadings and are operated, in each instance, at the different loadings until they fail. An end-of-life curve of the component is recorded on the basis of the load-dependent failure times of a component. An EOL curve of the product is ascertained such that at the different loadings, it includes the EOL curve of the components which has, in each instance, the shortest failure time at the corresponding loading. The anticipated service life of the product is determined as a functional value of the EOL curve of the product as a function of the predefined loading of the product.
