Electronics is everywhere and needs to fulfill an increasingly long list of requirements such as performance\, low cost\, quality\, reliability\, maintainability\, sustainability\, safety\, regulatory compliancy\, and many more. Deployment in new types of operational environments\, new operation modes\, new device technologies\, and new applications\, in combination with a very challenging supply chain and a continuously shortening time-to-market\, makes the classic experience based design-build-test approach to product development obsolete. A paradigm shift is needed in which computational methods predicting the characteristics of electronics become a core element of design verification and validation. In this workshop we explore the industrial availability of tools that can support this paradigm shift as well those that can support the management of the electronic product’s supply chain and life cycle.  \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n13h30Welcome13h40 A paradigm shift in electronic product development by Geert Willems – imec14h00Digitalization in the electronics industry by Jeroen De Jong – SiemensWith increasing complexity and fast-changing business models\, digitalization becomes more and more important to stay in the game\, win new business and quickly adapt to changes. The old trial-and-error build-design-test is being replaced by solutions that maximally predict the life-cycle aspects and characteristics of electronics by means of simulations\, virtual prototyping\, design rule checks\, supply chain assessment\, etc. We also touch upon the role AI can play in digitalization in the electronics industry.14h25Smart manufacturing for electronics by Jean-Paul Dirven – SiemensHow do you keep up with today’s component supply issues while balancing staffing and resources and still deliver quality products on time without passing the cost onto your customers? The answer is to make your factory “smart\,” making it operate as efficiently as possible with leaner operations for more effective use of your resources and more predictable inventory needs. You’ll gain maximum flexibility\, better predictability\, and more agility to lower lead times and costs for customers. Ensure on-time delivery with production capacity improvements and fewer defective products.Break-out session I: Design15h10Simulation driven design for electronics by Julian Lai and Heiko Dudek – SiemensAnalysis is key to rapid evaluation and verification\, allowing you to eliminate unfit designs as early as possible before consuming significant resources. Continuously verify\, manage and share all the data\, including requirements\, test plans\, and results\, to address electronics design challenges and effectively shorten your entire program with Analysis Driven Design.Break-out session II: Product Life-Cycle Management15h10Supply Chain management by Andres Maya – SiemensIn the rapidly evolving electronics industry\, managing the supply chain has become increasingly complex due to technological advancements\, fluctuating demand\, and global disruptions. We address these challenges by focusing on the innovative concept of ‘shifting left’ in supply chain management. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating supply chain considerations early in the product design and development phases to enhance resilience\, efficiency\, and innovation.15h50Product Life-Cycle management for electronics by Jeroen De Jong – SiemensDeveloping ever more innovative products requires a collaborative way of working that helps managing complexity and shortens development cycles. Teams should be enabled to collaborate as early as possible and in real-time\, creating a 360º view of project\, product\, and process data. PLM provides the backbone for connecting data\, applications\, people and processes throughout a product’s entire lifecycle.16h30Networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 36\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2 MB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n A Paradigm Shift in Electronic Product Development\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Digitalization in the Electronics Industry\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 4 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Smart Manufacturing for Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Simulation Driven Design for Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 5 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Supply Chain Management\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Product Life-Cycle Management for Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

The digitalization of society associated with the proliferation of electronics everywhere implies that electronics is a key element in the environmental impact of a growing number of products\, systems\, installations and services. This workshop dives into the challenges of assessing the environmental impact of electronics through-out its lifetime. \n\n\n\nAn Vercalsteren of VITO will introduce the basic elements and the state-of-the-art of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA is generally applied to assess the environmental impact of a product or service over its full life cycle. \n\n\n\nUnfortunately\, the actual state-of-the-art of the Life Cycle Assessment and the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) databases\, do not allow an accurate assessment of the environmental impact of electronics. Furthermore\, the cumbersome nature of LCA severely limits its useability as an eco-design supporting tool. Geert Willems\, imec-EDM Forum\, will explain how a lean eco-design methodology based on parametric LCI-models may be a workable alternative\, also for the SME. The parametric LCI-models provide an answer to the shortcomings of LCI data records as they are used today. Parametric LCI models for PCB manufacturing and Printed Board Assembly will be presented. \n\n\n\nCedric Rollin\, imec-SSTS\, will discuss the environmental impact of IC manufacturing and the challenges of its impact assessment. Sustainable Semiconductor Technologies and Systems is a new department and research program at imec joined by World leading companies like Apple\, Microsoft\, Amazon\, Meta and several to engage into more sustainable IC manufacturing. \n\n\n\nAlso the use of electronics for mobile communication\, cloud computing\, data streaming\, machine learning\, etc.\, may contribute significantly to e.g. climate change if not managed properly.

Making a product smart and connected opens possibilities but also raises questions: what do our customers really need? What value do we need to offer? How to reduce risks? What technology and expertise are needed? How to establish a successful business?In this workshop we introduce a system engineering based methodology to master the fuzzy front-end of smart product development which we call the New Product Exploration stage. In this stage the stakeholder’s needs and problems and their potential solutions are explored. It addresses key questions like: \n\n\n\n– How can we obtain a validated solution concept efficiently without cost and time budget overruns. \n\n\n\n– What expertise and capabilities do we need to develop\, produce and manage the life-cycle of the smart product solution? After a short introduction to system life-cycle stages and processes\, the New Product Exploration methodology is introduced based on the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and 24784-1 system engineering. We discuss how the problems and needs of stakeholders can be explored and how a solution can be validated.In a second part we focus on the organization developing the system solution. What are the capabilities an organziation needs to have to be able to develop smart products and create a successful business with and/or around a smart product\, and what is the status of these capabilities? What is the status of our product development and its life-cycle management? We will present an organization and product maturity assessment tool. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n13h30A System Engineering Approach to Smart Product Exploration.Geert Willems – imec14h20System Engineering Based Smart Product Exploration.Thomas De Meester – imec15h30Networking and tool demonstration\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n A System Engineering Approach to Smart Product Exploration\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 6.93 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n System Engineering Based Smart Product Exploration\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 4.88 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

This is realised through innovations in integrated circuit design\, manufacturing and packaging to create automotive grade solutions in three key areas: computation\, communication and integration. \n\n\n\nThe three Flemish partners (Materialise\, Interflux Electronics & imec) provides advanced and reliable liquid cooling solutions to enable the required high heat dissipation (300W). Additionally\, the solderability of very large BGA processor components is improved with the introduction of low melting point soldering technology. These key innovations will be presented in this virtual workshop. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00HIPER: Introduction to colklaborative research project on High Performance Vehicle Provcessors.Bart Vandevelde – imec14h20Advanced 3D printing solutions for advanced processor coolingPart A: 3D printing technology Willem Verleysen – MaterialisePart B: Simulation and characterisation of cooling performance of 3D printed heat sinks            Majid Nazemi – Materialise and Antonio Pappaterra – imec15h10Low melting point solder technology for advanced processor componentsRalph Lauwaert – Interflux Electronics15h40Q&A\n\n\n\nOnline workshop \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 33\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 340.25 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n HIPER: Introduction to Research Project on High Performance Vehicle Processors\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Advanced 3D Printing Solutions for Advanced Processor Cooling: 3D Printing Technology\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 6 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Simulation and Characterisation of Cooling Performance of 3D Printed Heat Sinks\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 4 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Low Melting Point Solder Technology for Advanced Processor Components\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

Bart Vandevelde (imec) will present as project leader a summary of the main results of this project. \n\n\n\nRainer Dudek (Fraunhofer ENAS) will present unique results of a real-life thermal cycling test lasting already for more than eight years. His results allow to benchmark the different acceleration models (such as Norris-Landzberg) to the real test failure data. \n\n\n\nPiet Watté(Signify) will present how Signify\, previously known as Philips Lighting\, deals with engineering models to predict the lifetime for products such as LED drivers. \n\n\n\nWhere reliability is related to the lifetime under normal operating conditions\, the robustness of a product expresses the product’s capability of withstanding product life cycle conditions that go beyond normal\, as-designed conditions. Geert Willems (imec)\, will discuss how to augment the robustness of electronics and will introduce InProVoL’s Design-for-Robustness and Robustness Testing and Qualification guidelines. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n14h00Welcome14h10Reliability by design approach for life time prediction of electronic systems (INPROVOL project summary) Bart Vandevelde – imec14h40Challenging the acceleration factor models by a Long-Term life Testing on a soldered board assemblyRainer Dudek\, Fraunhofer ENAS15h10  Engineering model for the life prediction of LED drivers Piet Watté – Signify15h40Design-for-Robustness for electronicsGeert Willems – imec16h10Q&A\, networking and booth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 32\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 398.86 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Reliability by Design Approach for Life Time Prediction of Electronic Systems\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 3.72 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Challenging the Acceleration Factor Models by a Long-Term Life Testing on a Soldered Board Assembly\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.97 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Engineering Model for the Life Prediction of LED Drivers\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.82 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Design-for-Robustness for Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.61 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

As long as these systems are operating in a human-less environment\, like enclosed surroundings in a factory\, they are readily accepted. However\, people lack trust in autonomous systems if their own safety is dependent on a machine’s correct operation. Whenever someone mentions self-driving cars\, the question of safety is raised immediately. Even though the widespread introduction of autonomous vehicles would almost eliminate the more-than 20.000 deaths on European roads each year\, it will not happen until we can provide the assurance that these systems will be safe and perform as intended\, no matter what.Unfortunately\, existing safety assurance approaches and standards are developed primarily for systems where a human can take over in case of emergency and\, hence\, do not extend to fully autonomous systems. What’s more\, current safety assurance approaches generally assume that once the system is deployed\, it will not learn or evolve by itself. This ignores many of the new safety challenges that come along with autonomous systems: unsafe software behavior\, open-context nature\, functional insufficiencies\, human-machine interaction\, just to name a few.This talk will introduce the latest evolutions in the area of safety assurance of autonomous systems\, including: Safety of the Intended Function\, dynamic safety assurance\, safety monitors\, run-time safety cases\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Safety Assurance of Autonomous Systems \n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 4.69 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Safety Assurance of Autonomous Systems – video\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 33.93 MB\n \n \n Login to download.

Electronics is everywhere. This seminar provides basic insight in the technology and production processes of a key part of all electronics: the Printed Circuit Board that connects the electronic components in an electronic assembly. To understand the relationship between cost\, quality and reliability of electronics\, it is mandatory to have a basic understanding of the capabilities and the limitations of the PCB technology as well as the factors that drive cost and quality. This seminar provides a basic step towards this understanding. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n\nReception13h00 – Start 13h15\n\n\n\nWelcome at ACB by Joachim Verhegge (ACB)A short presentation of ACB.\n\n\n\nPCB technology basics by Joachim Verhegge (ACB)Introduction to PCB manufacturing technology discussing the basic materials and PCB manufacturing processes:lithography\, etching\, lamination\, drilling\, plating\, solder mask deposition\, finishing\, inspection.

Space agencies like ESA prefer flight-proven technologies in their spacecraft and require extensive equipment testing and qualification to guarantee reliability. Adhering to flight-proven technologies has drawbacks. A highly performing\, reliable solution without adaptation to the technological evolution does not remain performant nor reliable in the 21st century’s technological and operational context. This workshop will provide insight in the status of space electronics design and manufacturing for ESA spacecraft and on the steps to take to create better electronics for future ESA space missions. \n\n\n\nJussi Hokka of ESA will discuss the challenges and the impact that imposes the trend towards more complex and densely populated electronic assemblies\, the increasing operating temperature and the lead-ban on space electronics in the coming five to ten years. \n\n\n\nA highly integrated spacecraft control unit is crucial to succeed in the system design of small satellites with high autonomy as Proba-V. Steven De Cuyper of QinetiQ will explain the development and manufacturing of such electronics per ESA procedures and standards. \n\n\n\nCertain well-proven technologies required by these ESA standards put severe limits to the use of modern industrially well-proven technologies in space electronics. Geert Willems of imec will identify these limiting technologies\, their background and the alternatives that allow building lower weight\, better performing\, more reliable and more environmentally friendly space electronics at a lower cost. \n\n\n\nAssessing the environmental impact of space missions is taking a bigger role in mission development for ESA. Electronics is identified as one of the environmental hot spots in spacecrafts. An Vercalsteren of VITO will illustrate this as well as some eco-design alternatives based on the ESA GreenSat study using Proba-V as a reference case. \n\n\n\nMore complex and denser electronic assemblies require the use of PCB substrates that use microvia\, high aspect ratio core vias and small track widths and spacing.  Joachim Verhegge of ACB will discuss this High-Density Interconnect (HDI) demand and the balanced approach between capabilities and reliability required for space electronics \n\n\n\n\n\n\n14h00Welcome14h10ESA’s view on Space Electronics requirements and future needs.Jussi Hokka – ESA14h30 Electronics for earth orbit satellite missions: Proba-V Steven De Cuyper – QinetiQ15h00Improving Space Electronics: a review of opportunitiesGeert Willems – imec15h20Life Cycle Assessment and eco-design of the PROBA-V space mission focus on space electronicsAn Vercalsteren\, VITO15h40High-density Printed Circuit Boards for Space ElectronicsJoachim Verhegge\, ACB16h00Networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Intro EDM Workshop 31\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 184.59 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor members only \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Electronics for Earth Orbit Satellite Missions: Proba-V\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 929.80 KB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Improving Space Electronics: A Review of Opportunities\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.07 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Life Cycle Assessment and Eco-design of the PROBA-V Space Mission\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 1.94 MB\n \n \n Login to download. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n High-Density Printed Circuit Boards for Space Electronics\n \n \n \n \n 1 file(s) 2.71 MB\n \n \n Login to download.
