Reliability Wearout Mechanisms in Advanced CMOS Technologies

Download or read book Reliability Wearout Mechanisms in Advanced CMOS Technologies written by Alvin W. Strong and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable resource tells the complete story of failure mechanisms—from basic concepts to the tools necessary to conduct reliability tests and analyze the results. Both a text and a reference work for this important area of semiconductor technology, it assumes no reliability education or experience. It also offers the first reference book with all relevant physics, equations, and step-by-step procedures for CMOS technology reliability in one place. Practical appendices provide basic experimental procedures that include experiment design, performing stressing in the laboratory, data analysis, reliability projections, and interpreting projections.
