Read MoreReliability testing is of massive importance to the eventual success of any technology. Depending on the chosen testing strategy, devising, setting up and implementing reliability testing systems can..
Read MoreWhy Test for Reliability in ICs?
The first wonder of modern semiconductor IC designs is their ability to contain highly complex electronic circuitry in such minimal space. Manufacturers of these technological miracles must ensure..
Read MoreEstablishing reliability requirements involves probability statistics, operational lifetime expectation, and a definition of failure. Given a failure criterion, the most direct way to determine..
Read MoreGuide to Burn-In Testing
All semiconductor devices, whether employed in high-stakes military applications or consumer products, share a common expectation, “reliable operation." Semiconductor devices must perform their..
Read MoreFor a technology to gain wide acceptance, it must first show itself provably reliable for the conditions in which it operates. Gallium Nitride (GaN), as a semiconductor material, is currently at a..
