Reliability tests are a crucial part of the manufacturing process, one that ensures your product meets the quality standards your customers expect. All the same, designing good reliability tests is ...

The study of lifetime distribution and reliability testing seeks to characterise the statistical behaviour of time-to-failure data for components and systems across a range of applications, from ...

Collaboration enables SoC manufacturers to improve their qualification envelope to achieve lifetime reliability, shorten their root cause analysis time, and reduce operational costs HAIFA, ...

A convergence of DFT techniques and the proliferation of in-silicon monitors can flag potential failures before they occur.

This is part two of Craig Hillman’s article on reliability in electronic design. Click here to read his first article, "The End is Near for MIL-HDBK-217 and Other Outdated Handbooks." Welcome to the ...

Product reliability is essential for success, especially for electronic products like printed circuit boards (PCB). Accelerated life testing (ALT) is an expedient and cost-effective solution to ...

Overstress test, tests using stresses beyond the design limit of the product, is successful at uncovering faults in both product design and the manufacturing process and ensures the overall robustness ...

Times are changing fast. Take the automotive industry for example. Software has evolved far beyond infotainment, now controlling everything in the car, including braking and steering for the driver.

The rapid transition in the upstream manufacturing solar sector to significantly larger p-type and n-type monocrystalline wafers, cells and modules may be hailed a new era for the industry in higher ...

Using computer models to simulate product behavior was first used mainly to replace hardware prototyping to assess design performance at the end of the development cycle. However, with increasingly ...
