IMEC, Belgian R&D institute for microelectronics, has established a center of excellence that builds upon the framework of its research on the physics of failure mechanisms and reliability structures. The center is equipped with a range of testers and systems for failure and material analysis, to address the demand for increased reliability levels of next-generation devices. Due to the scaling of process technologies, material is being pushed to its limits and the challenges are high. Systems-in-a-package and in-a-chip is a further stimulus.
