A multidiscipline 'reliability physics' concept has risen during 4th quarter of 20th century with an aim to maximise product yield and reliability. It has developed on the basis of process technology, physics, electronics, chemistry, materials science and environmental science. Reliability physics acts as 'midwife' for the development of better or new device and/or technology.

The course can cover the following topics:

1. Tests and Measurement Concepts

2. Influence of Environmental Factors

3. Environmental Stress Testing Techniques

4. Materials Characterisation Techniques

5. Process Monitoring

6. Failure Analysis

7. Reliability Prediction

(Quantification of reliability model is done

by mathematical model, which in turn is

based on distribution functions etc.)

8. Approach of Reliability Physics

(as per concluding section, Figure 7 of the

following Reference:

S.U.M.Rao, Reliability Physics of Electronic

Devices Through Material Characterization

and Environmental Stress Testing

Techniques, Microelectron. Reliab.,

34(1994) 229-245. )
