Electronics that are exposed to fluctuating temperatures undergo a process known as thermal cycling. These fluctuations in temperature cause the PCB and it’s components to expand and contract with the rise and fall of temperature. The various materials used electronics will expand and contract at different rates due to a mismatch in the coefficient of …
Package reliability and qualification continues to evolve with the electronics industry. New electronics applications require new approaches to reliability and qualification. In the past, reliability meant discovering, characterizing and modeling failure mechanisms, and determining their impact on the reliability of the circuit. Today, reliability can involve tradeoffs between performance and reliability; assessing the impact of …
