Semiconductor companies and semiconductor researchers are constantly looking for ways to make devices fail in the lab in order to prevent failures in the field. Countless hours are spent by failure analysis (FA) engineers trying to understand why a device failed and how it can be prevented in the future. This is vital as many devices are used in mission critical applications where “failure is not …
It’s late at night and you’re driving home. You’re tired and just want to get to bed. But then, all of a sudden, you are faced with a big animal in the middle of the road. Immediately, your car slams on the brakes to prevent you from hitting the animal and from swerving off the road.
