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 […]
Quality and reliability are key elements of space electronics. 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 […]
The “Smart” in “Smart Products” – whatever these products do – is based on electronics. 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, […]
Presented by: Davy Pissoort – KU Leuven 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 […]
In a growing market of complex intelligent products requiring a lifetime longer than consumer electronics (> 2 years), realising products “with predictable life time”under known loading conditions gives a competitive advantage to companies. Evaluating potential reliability risks and predicting the lifetime at the “design stage”gives a benefit in time-to-market and both engineering and product cost […]
Due to the on-going Corona pandemic no live participation by non-imec employees to training sessions and seminars at imec is allowed. Online participation is possible through live streaming and MS Teams interaction session. About the course:The course discusses the New Product Exploration (NPE), Planning (NPP) and Introduction (NPI) development stages that bring an electronic product […]

High-Performance CPU/GPU processors are required for self-driving cars to perform vision processing, object recognition and interaction with intelligent traffic systems in real-time and reliable for 15 years. A consortium of Belgian, Dutch and German companies and research organisations with expertise along the entire automotive value chain, intends to meet the challenges to develop high performance […]
