Hello, If the IC is new and stored properly (ESD bag 25-40C & 30-40RH), In general what is the shelf life, how old is to old, 5, 10, 20 years?
Will a new 20year old device last as long as a recent version?
Does the shelf life depend on the IC Type (logic gate, Transistor, cmos/nor flash, programmable logic)?
Does the silicon structure deteriorate while on the shelf?
thanks
