An intensive 4-day course
on “Failure Analysis of Electronics” is being offered jointly by CALCE and
Buehler, on November 6-9, 2012. The course, which covers failure analysis
techniques such as specimen preparation and materials analysis for electronic
assemblies, components, and devices, will consist of a combination of classroom
instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory training. Lecture topics
include physics-of-failure-based root cause analysis, guidelines for selection
of analytical tools, and practical instruction on laboratory techniques. The
laboratory segment of the course includes demonstrations and step-by-step
sample preparation using metallographic techniques. In addition, a number of
case studies will be presented. These case studies will illustrate the
step-by-step process of uncovering important pieces of information that can
lead to the isolation of a failure site and root cause determination.
The course will be held at the College Park campus of the University of Maryland. Please click here (www.calce.umd.edu/facourse) or contact Bhanu Sood at 301-405-3498 or by email at bpsood@calce.umd.edu for additional details.
