In many plants, reliability is treated like a luxury; it’s something to be addressed once the "real work" of fixing ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...

As the semiconductor industry continues its relentless march towards smaller process nodes and more complex integrated circuits (ICs), the challenge of ensuring reliability has become increasingly ...

DALLAS — Reliability experts are waving red flags about a little understood problem — negative bias temperature instability — that can cause significant delays to CMOS circuits. The delays increase ...

For decades, megaprojects in every industry have been designed to provide specific functionality or value with delivery and commissioning as the end goal. Large process and refinery projects, such as ...

IC reliability in the past few decades has generally been very very good compared to decades before. If EVs were replacing ICs like 20 or 30 years ago they might get a big reliability head start, but ...

When a global medical device company needed help setting up a reliability program, Marie Getsug was up for the task. As a program manager of strategic consulting for asset management at Jacobs ...

Widely accepted wisdom has it that electric vehicles are easier to maintain than those with internal combustion powertrains. It seems intuitive—EVs have many fewer moving parts than cars that have to ...
