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
involvedthe reasons why failure analysis is an important tool for
improving yield and reliability by corrective actionsthe 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 methodsnew 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.
