The need for new tools and simulation methodologies to evaluate the impact of all reliability effects in ICs is a critical challenge for the electronic industry.
Gas-tight reliability effect of load variability on casing was validated by Monte Carlo method.
Therefore the reliability growth will demonstrate if there is reliability growth, negative reliability effect, as well as no effect after improvement.
New health status survey instruments are often described by their psychometric (measurement) properties, such as Validity, Reliability, Effect Size, and Responsiveness.
Estimating measurement error in these instruments is important because of the direct impact on reliability, effect size, responsiveness and sample size calculations [ 10, 11].
As was briefly mentioned above in the assessment of replication and reliability, effects on a number of tests have been replicated in several laboratories.
Then we review the verification process for spacecraft microcontrollers showing that reliability effects will have a visible impact on the timing of real-time software, which may jeopardize system safety.
Attention is paid to the system reliability effects in this failure mode, too.
The study introduces several novel elements by taking into account loading direction using a multiaxial probabilistic load model, considering random material strength, spatial correlation between material properties, progressive material failure, and system reliability effects.
The issues addressed in the paper, namely equipment health, reliability, effects of unplanned breakdown, etc., are extremely important for today's manufacturing companies.
Due to shrinking feature sizes in integrated circuits, additional reliability effects have to be considered which influence the functionality of the system.
