A very good, easy to understand text is Joe McPherson's book, Reliability Physics and Engineering.  For Material and Device characterization, including some failure analysis techniques, look for Dr. Schorder's book Semiconductor Material and Device Characterization (3rd ed).  These are not the only texts available, the one that I have turned to to the most in recent months.  There are many differnt courses on Reliabilty physics and F/A, but most are good sections of other courses....

Hi Shammi

I strongly recommend you to apply FMEA methodology to analize failures, effects and consequences. This methodology is based on 6-sigma procedures, and it is simple and effective for any topic, specially for PV.

Check also this website and resources included. This supplier uses to organize workshops and conferences about this important topic you are looking for

refer US military reliability and FME&A literature available on web MIL-217 and many other. t I used and found it the best.
