CONTRIBUTED Reliability 2
- Antonio Pievatolo (CNR-IMATI)
In the real world, a product or a system usually loses its function gradually with a degradation process rather than fails abruptly. To meet the demand of safety, productivity, and economy, it is essential to monitor the actual degradation process and predict imminent degradation trends. A degradation process can be affected by many different factors.
Degradation modelling typically involves...
Nowadays, die stacking is gaining a lot of attention in the semiconductor industry. Within this assembly technique, two or more dies are vertically stacked and bonded in a single package. Compared to single-die packages, this leads to many benefits, including more efficient use of space, faster signal propagation, reduced power consumption, etc.
Delamination, i.e., the separation of two...
One of the last major steps in the development of complex technical systems is reliability growth (RG) testing. According to [1], RG is defined as […] improvement of the reliability of an item with time, through successful correction of design or product weaknesses. This means that besides testing, a qualified monitoring and inspection as well as an effective corrective action mechanism is...
