Electronic Failure Analysis Handbook : Techniques and Applications for Electronic and Electrical Packages, Components, and Assemblies
- Perry L. Martin - the author of the book says:
Yes, I admit it, I'm proud to say; "I work with failures!"
Throughout the school years, Scientists and Engineers are taught how and why things work. In my experience it is rare to ever get more than a short anecdote about the failures(why things don't work), yet this is where the real learning, the growth, occurs. People learn by making mistakes and taking corrective actions so that the same mistakes will not be made again. We say that people mature. Manufacturing processes can mature in a similar manner. The semiconductor/microelectronics industry embraced this philosophy and incorporated microelectronic failure analysis into the corporate culture. The result was miraculous increases in product reliability. The achievements of the microelectronics industry were admired by other electronics-related companies and, to some extent, duplicated. Electronic failure analysis is now common across a broad range of companies and electronics technologies yet it is difficult to find any documentation of these efforts. The Electronic Failure Analysis Handbook is an attempt to address this deficiency. The Electronic Failure Analysis Handbook is presented in three parts: Part One is the shortest and deals with the uses of electronic failure analysis (EFA). Background on system and component reliability is presented, as well as an entire chapter on the use of EFA in product liability. Part Two deals with the techniques involved in performing EFA. Techniques include: electrical charaterization, x-ray, IR-thermography, acoustic micro-imaging, photography, metallography, etc.. Efforts are made to present information to allow optimization of these techniques for specific technologies. Part Three deals with the failure analysis of specific technologies. This includes: Microelectronics, passive components, connectors, solder joints, switches, high-voltage applications, etc.. The intent is to be as inclusive as possible. I would not attempt to develop such a comprehensive undertaking alone. I called upon the leading experts in their fields to contribute chapters to the handbook and case studies & examples are presented and featured in all three parts of the handbook. These experts did a wonderful job of presenting the material in a useful format. I believe that this handbook will be a valuable addition to the library of anyone who works in or around electronics. I sincerely hope that it serves you well. - - A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR THOSE WHO CARE TO SUCCEED
