Abstract

Ability to understand the physics of failure and predict-and-prevent failures in electronic materials, devices, packages and systems is of obvious importance, especially for highly demanding applications, such as, aerospace, long-haul communications or military. The multi-parametric Boltzmann–Arrhenius–Zhurkov (BAZ) equation [1,2] introduced about a decade ago enables quantifying the probability of failure and the corresponding lifetime of an electronic or a photonic product by interpreting the results of a specially designed, thoroughly conducted and carefully interpreted highly-cost-effective and highly-focused failure-oriented accelerated testing (FOAT) [3,4].
