Abstract

Understanding the reliability physics is critical for making a viable “high-tech” device into a reliable product, isn’t it? On the other hand, it is, as is known, the properly designed, carefully conducted and correctly interpreted accelerated testing that is the “supreme and final judge” of the product’s reliability. An highly focused and highly cost effective failure-oriented-accelerated-testing (FOAT) [1,2] suggested about a decade ago as an experimental basis of the novel probabilistic design for reliability (PDfR) concept [3] is intended to be carried out at the design stage of a new electronic, photonic, MEMS and MOEMS (optical MEMS) technology and when high operational reliability (like the one required, e.g., for aerospace, military, or long-haul communication applications), especially when instrumentation and human performance contribute jointly to the outcome of an aerospace or a military undertaking [4], is a must.
