Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Circuit aging is emerging as a mandatory design concern across a swath of end markets, particularly in markets where advanced-node chips are expected to last for more than a few years. Some chipmakers ...

DALLAS — Reliability experts are waving red flags about a little understood problem — negative bias temperature instability — that can cause significant delays to CMOS circuits. The delays increase ...

Widely accepted wisdom has it that electric vehicles are easier to maintain than those with internal combustion powertrains. It seems intuitive—EVs have many fewer moving parts than cars that have to ...

Reliability is rarely thought about when things are going well and machines are running smoothly. But that can all change in an instant. In effect, once a machine is delivered and installed, ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Gov. Greg Abbott said he sent a letter Tuesday to the Public Utility Commission in support of the adoption of a reliability standard and new reliability design for the Electric ...
