Leakage through parasitic body diodes in MOSFETs: Unintended current paths can form through transistor body diodes, ...

Circuit aging is emerging as a mandatory design concern across a swath of end markets, particularly in markets where advanced-node chips are expected to last for more than a few years. Some chipmakers ...

DALLAS — Reliability experts are waving red flags about a little understood problem — negative bias temperature instability — that can cause significant delays to CMOS circuits. The delays increase ...

The types of chips used in automotive, medical, aerospace and defense, and other sectors require higher levels of safety—with industry standards such as ISO 26262—and long-term reliability under harsh ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Widely accepted wisdom has it that electric vehicles are easier to maintain than those with internal combustion powertrains. It seems intuitive—EVs have many fewer moving parts than cars that have to ...
