An improved understanding of how materials and processing affect solder joint microstructure provides insight into how to enhance the fatigue performance of Pb free solder joints.

Avalanche photodiodes (APD) failed in the field due to corrosion resulting from water vapor inside a hermetic package. The APD was part of a hybrid IC receiver manufactured by an outside vendor.

This paper describes the goals, experimental methods, and results of a study of the reliability of low-noise gallium arsenide field-effect transistors 1 involving about 1500 devices and 1.5 million

In this paper we describe the application of XMEDIA - an expert system shell for developing multimedia knowledge bases - to develop a proposed family of failure mode analysis (FMA) multimedia knowl

The high potential of optical low-coherence refletometry to investigate the failure mode of InP-based optical devices is demonstrated here by considering two examples of burned (under high optical

This paper reports on the investigation of the failure mechanism in capacitive RF-MEMS through an efficient analysis methodology.

The failure rate is deduced for a pair of components with lognormal lifetimes when one component acts as a back-up (spare) for the other.

By comparing 2 distinct wavelength-routing Optical Cross-Connects (OXC), this study highlights the relevance to really consider dynamic traffic when assessing the contentionless property. 

Mobile operators increasingly share their wireless networks to save cost.

In the G.fast frequency range with strong levels of crosstalk, nonlinear precoding (NLP) is shown to be a near-optimal technique for crosstalk cancellation.
