Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Reliability is expected from every manufactured product, but achieving reliability in an age of changing technology and increased product complexity can prove to be a challenge. That was the ...

EVs are having a reliability problem Consumer Reports is out with a survey that finds that electric vehicle owners had roughly 80% more problems than owners of conventional vehicles.

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 ...

The head of the nation’s grid reliability authority called for more electricity generation. Transmission reform alone will not solve the U.S. electric grid’s ongoing reliability issues, with ...
