Presented by: Tania Drissen – Sirris Product reliability is gaining importance because of today’s increasing overall complexity of products. In a product’s design for reliability knowing the actual loads that will act on the product during its lifetime is key. The life cycle profile describes these different loads and their variation over time throughout the […]
Presented by: Bart Vandevelde (imec) In particular for testing of the board level interconnect reliability of components, bending cycling can be an interesting alternative for regular thermal cycling. The main gain lies in the testing time. The four point bending stresses the interconnections in a similar way as in thermal cycling, but as the test […]
Op 7 november 2018 vindt het D&E Event plaats in Technopolis te Mechelen. Ontmoet hier ontwikkelaars en toepassers van embedded systems, ontdek de laatste technologieën en wissel visies en ervaringen uit met vakgenoten.Specifieke thema’s tijdens dit event zijn FPGA, Security, Internet of Things, Electronic Design & Production en Embedded. EDM contribution: Abstract: Smart products that build-up […]
Smart products that build-up the Internet of Things are often highly innovative and mandate a short time-to-market. A traditional product development approach applying experience based (conservative) design rules and extensive qualification tests is obsolete. A high level of predictive power regarding manufacturability, supply chain readiness, quality and reliability, cost, etc. is demanded from an agile New […]
Presented by: Davy Pissoort – KU Leuven Over the last decade, a new efficient way of improving the robustness of an electronic product has been developed: Highly Accelerated Lifetime Testing (HALT). With HALT, one will stress the product far beyond its operational specifications in order to quickly find and fix the weakest points in the […]
Presented by: Bart Vandevelde – imec In this webinar, we will present the basics on thermal management for electronic systems. We will give an introduction on how to make first order basic calculations for the maximum temperatures in a system, give an overview on possible cooling techniques and when you need forces air flow or […]
Learn how to avoid electromagnetic interactions that cause delays and increase costOn Thursday Feb 21 and Friday Feb 22 2019, the M-Group and lab FMEC organizes a two day seminar on good EMC engineering practices for large machines, systems and installations. MI is rapidly increasing in modern industry due to the increasing use of, amongst […]
Internet-of-Things, Electronics Everywhere, self-driving cars, body-area-networks monitoring your health, etc. : ever increasing electronics complexity means more opportunities to fail and, therefore, intrinsically a reduced reliability.During this seminar, Geert Willems of imec-cEDM will explain the “bathtub curve”, take you through failure mechanisms in electronics and show you why and how Physics-of-Failure is becoming the cornerstone […]
A five-day primer in system safety engineeringThe Introduction to System Safety course is a five-day primer in system safety engineering. The course contains a mix of lectures, discussions and small group exercises, supported by international examples. Whilst the course touches on broader issues in theorizing risk and managing safety within organisations, its main focus is […]
Through regular events and programs, IMAPS chapters serve as local networks that allow microelectronics professionals to build business relationships, share industry information, and find technical solutions. IMAPS chapters organize and sponsor symposia/conferences, vendor’s days, technical presentations, and social events. Agenda: 14:00 Registration, coffee, exhibition14:30 Green encapsulants … a continuous trend in electronics (Jochen Schuermans, Roartis)15:00 Low temperature solder […]
Autonomous systems offer humankind tremendous opportunities, like freeing us from mundane tasks, carrying out risky procedures and generally giving us more time to enjoy the things we like doing. 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 […]
