Download or read book Failure Analysis written by Marius Bazu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure analysis is the preferred method to investigate product or process reliability and to ensure optimum performance of electrical components and systems. The physics-of-failure approach is the only internationally accepted solution for continuously improving the reliability of materials, devices and processes. The models have been developed from the physical and chemical phenomena that are responsible for degradation or failure of electronic components and materials and now replace popular distribution models for failure mechanisms such as Weibull or lognormal. Reliability engineers need practical orientation around the complex procedures involved in failure analysis. This guide acts as a tool for all advanced techniques, their benefits and vital aspects of their use in a reliability programme. Using twelve complex case studies, the authors explain why failure analysis should be used with electronic components, when implementation is appropriate and methods for its successful use. Inside you will find detailed coverage on: a synergistic approach to failure modes and mechanisms, along with reliability physics and the failure analysis of materials, emphasizing the vital importance of cooperation between a product development team involved the reasons why failure analysis is an important tool for improving yield and reliability by corrective actions the design stage, highlighting the ‘concurrent engineering' approach and DfR (Design for Reliability) failure analysis during fabrication, covering reliability monitoring, process monitors and package reliability reliability resting after fabrication, including reliability assessment at this stage and corrective actions a large variety of methods, such as electrical methods, thermal methods, optical methods, electron microscopy, mechanical methods, X-Ray methods, spectroscopic, acoustical, and laser methods new challenges in reliability testing, such as its use in microsystems and nanostructures This practical yet comprehensive reference is useful for manufacturers and engineers involved in the design, fabrication and testing of electronic components, devices, ICs and electronic systems, as well as for users of components in complex systems wanting to discover the roots of the reliability flaws for their products.
Download or read book Failure Analysis of Minuteman Integrated Circuit Failures written by P. J. Besser and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program was devoted to the determination of the failure modes and to a study of the failure mechanisms in integrated circuits used in the Minuteman II control and guidance system. In-depth failure analyses were performed on 114 rejects from system equipment and 75 failures from vendor burn-in tests. Analytical and procedural techniques not ordinarily used in routine failure analysis were applied and evaluated on this program. The in-depth analysis identified the major device failure modes as (1) excessive surface leakage current, (2) cracked die, (3) oxide dielectric defects (pinholes), and (4) die-to-header bond failures. Localization of certain failure modes to particular part types and vendors along with device usage in system must be considered in assessing the relative importance of the failure modes. The results were compared with data from routine analysis and from the Component Quality Assurance Program. A thorough radiographic examination was performed on a group of 292 devices which had retested good upon submission to in-house analysis. The examination showed that 5 percent of the sample had movable metallic particles included in the package, and a total of 29 percent had some potential reliability hazard. A similar examination of 4,999 production parts revealed an incidence of 0.4 percent with included movable particles. It is felt that the results of this program demonstrate the value of conducting a more extensive routine failure analysis. (Author).

Download or read book Component Reliability for Electronic Systems written by Titu I. Băjenescu and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main reason for the premature breakdown of today's electronic products (computers, cars, tools, appliances, etc.) is the failure of the components used to build these products. Today professionals are looking for effective ways to minimize the degradation of electronic components to help ensure longer-lasting, more technically sound products and systems. This practical book offers engineers specific guidance on how to design more reliable components and build more reliable electronic systems. Professionals learn how to optimize a virtual component prototype, accurately monitor product reliability during the entire production process, and add the burn-in and selection procedures that are the most appropriate for the intended applications. Moreover, the book helps system designers ensure that all components are correctly applied, margins are adequate, wear-out failure modes are prevented during the expected duration of life, and system interfaces cannot lead to failure.

Download or read book CMOS Electronics written by Jaume Segura and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CMOS manufacturing environments are surrounded with symptoms that can indicate serious test, design, or reliability problems, which, in turn, can affect the financial as well as the engineering bottom line. This book educates readers, including non-engineers involved in CMOS manufacture, to identify and remedy these causes. This book instills the electronic knowledge that affects not just design but other important areas of manufacturing such as test, reliability, failure analysis, yield-quality issues, and problems. Designed specifically for the many non-electronic engineers employed in the semiconductor industry who need to reliably manufacture chips at a high rate in large quantities, this is a practical guide to how CMOS electronics work, how failures occur, and how to diagnose and avoid them. Key features: Builds a grasp of the basic electronics of CMOS integrated circuits and then leads the reader further to understand the mechanisms of failure. Unique descriptions of circuit failure mechanisms, some found previously only in research papers and others new to this publication. Targeted to the CMOS industry (or students headed there) and not a generic introduction to the broader field of electronics. Examples, exercises, and problems are provided to support the self-instruction of the reader.

Download or read book An Experiment on Intermittent failure Mechanisms written by Stanford University. Computer Systems Laboratory and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermittent failures are studied by stressing (temperature, supply voltage and extra loading) good parts. The behavior of the chips under stress is similar to that of a marginal chip under normal operating conditions. The experiments show that most intermittent failures are pattern-sensitive for both sequential and combinational circuits. The stuck-at fault model is shown to be inappropriate to describe intermittent failures. This paper presents a case where a single intermittent failure is not detected by a test set with 100% single stuck-at fault coverage. A stress-strength analysis is presented to explain the experimental results. Keywords: Intermittent failures, Pattern sensitive faults, Soft failures, Integrated circuit reliability, Intermittent fault model.
