Topic: Reliability engineering


  
 Reliability Engineering
Reliability is defined as the ability of a device to conform to its electrical and visual/mechanical specifications over a specified period of time under specified conditions at a specified confidence level.
As such, the assessment of the reliability of the rest of the population is essentially statistical and probabilistic in nature.
The reliability test employed is chosen based on the failure mechanism of interest to the engineer, as different stress tests accelerate different failure mechanisms.

 Glossary of Reliability Engineering Terms - Relex Software   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The numerical value of reliability is expressed as a probability from 0 to 1 and is also sometimes known as the probability of mission success.
Reliability is the probability, assuming the system was operating at time zero, that it continues to operate until time t.
A primary component of reliability analysis is referred to as the failure rate, or the number of failures expected during a certain period of time.

 Reliability Engineering
Reliability engineering begins as soon as test structures can be built with a new process, and it continues throughout the lifetime of the process.
Among the critical factors that TI reliability engineers have to examine: the migration of atoms in interconnect metal, the time-dependent dielectric breakdown of gates and low-K films, the injection of electrons into gates that create channel hot carriers, and the negative bias temperature instability that breaks down conductivity because of heat.
In the end, quality and reliability controls are reflected in the figure of merit (FOM), a composite measurement that reflects all aspects of transistor performance improvement over time.
