Environmentally friendly is a term rapidly invading the electronics industry. The electronic industry will be facing great challenges over the next few years as the solder used in electronic products ...

The study of lifetime distribution and reliability testing seeks to characterise the statistical behaviour of time-to-failure data for components and systems across a range of applications, from ...

We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...

Bayesian methods have emerged as a robust framework for assessing system reliability in environments marked by uncertainty and limited data availability. By incorporating prior knowledge and updating ...

iNEMI (International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) has begun driving two collaborative efforts that will focus on reliability and testing issues for MEMS technologies. Using information ...
