PBA Reliability Seminar and Test Facility Visit

Smart products, AI, electronics everywhere… increasing electronics complexity means more opportunities to fail and, therefore, intrinsically a reduced reliability.
This seminar will explain reliability assessment, take you through the failure mechanisms in electronics and show you why and how Physics-of-Failure must be the cornerstone of modern reliability engineering. The seminar is followed by a visit to the test facilities of the seminar host Jabil Hasselt, Corda Campus 5.
This seminar is complementary to the PCB and PBA technology seminars. Preferably, the participants have attended these seminars or are familiar with PCB and PBA technology.

1. Failure Probability/Reliability functions: “the bathtub curve”
   – Early failure – constant failure rate – wear-out – meaning of MTTF – Weibull
   – Constant failure rate modeling and why it is not suited for modern electronics.
   – EDM-D-100: Failure opportunities and the reliability function R(T) of a PBA
2. Basics of Physics-of-Failure
   – The failure mechanism – the stress level – from stress to lifetime
   – Accelerated testing
   – Physics-of-Failure based testing
3. Dominant failure mechanisms in electronics
   – Solder joint failure
   – PCB via failure
   – Insulation failure: SIR – creep corrosion – (CAF – Sn-whiskers)
   – Component failures: capacitors
