  • Abstract
    The procurement, screen and burn-in, and field history of the semiconductor parts in the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) is given. Both field failures and variability of performance through screen and burn-in are directly related to changes occurring in the parts manufacturer´s facilities. The problems of developing and sustaining high reliability are discussed.
