Save the Date - Lecture by Helge Schimanski on "Advanced failure analysis as the basis for reliable electronics - optimizing manufacturing processes through root cause analysis" 💡 📍Abstracts Forum Elektrofertigung 🕦 January 25, 11:15 - 11:50 a.m. On January 25, Helge Schimanski from Fraunhofer ISIT will give a presentation on "Advanced failure analysis as the basis for reliable electronics - optimizing manufacturing processes through root cause analysis". Advanced failure analysis forms the basis for quality, reliability and guaranteed function of electronic products in the product life cycle. Defects caused by corrosion, incorrect component handling, thermal and mechanical stress of components to be processed are visualized using 3D X-ray inspection and target preparation as a means of cross-section analysis, among other things. The causes are always investigated and ways of improving delivery quality and production processes are shown, which ultimately forms the basis for reliable electronics. #NORTEC #2024 #research #Fraunhofer #Messe #ISIT #Silizium
