Influence ofTemperature on Microelectronics and System Reliability
Edited by Pradeep Lall,Michael Pecht, and Edward Hakim, 336pp., 1997, ISBN: 0849394503
    In this book - the author treats in detail, the use of manipulating temperaturein electronic equipment, to achieve reliability goals. Temperature is afundamental parameter associated with the performance and reliability ofelectronic equipment. There has been a common belief that reliable electronicscan be achieved by lowering temperature.
     Sloganssuch as "lower the temperature by 10 and double reliability" have becomethe rules of thumb for some designers, without regard to the cost-effectiveness,and actual reliability benefits and auditability. The belief in the harmfuleffects of temperature has woven itself into today's screening and thermalmanagement processes.
    Various sections of the book address the steady state and cyclic temperatureeffects on electrical parameters and the reliability of both bipolar andMOSFET devices; identify models quantifying the temperature effects onpackage elements; and address the impacts of various design for temperaturetrade-offs on electronic systems. Temperature-related models are assessedin terms of their use for determining the maximum and minimum allowabletemperature stresses for a given system architecture. Derating methodsare also reviewed. The purpose of this book is to raise the level of understandingof thermal design criteria. The goal is to provide the product design teamswith sufficient knowledge to help them evaluate system-cooling trade-offsand the effects of operating temperature.
Features
  • Presents the effect of temperaturein the context of microelectronics reliability, covering damage mechanismsin the temperature range of -55 C to 150 C.
  • Uses the cumulative effect ofcompeting failure processes on device life to determine appropriate valuesof operating temperature and non-temperature related stress.
  • Derives stress-margin curvesof life for failure mechanisms versus dependencies on both temperature,non-temperature stresses and defects.
  • Assists the reader in evaluatingthe life cycle reliability, cost, and weight trade-offs associated withcooling of electronic equpiment.
