Optical semiconductor device reliability

Microelectronics Reliability, 2002
Abstract Based on the degradation modes and mechanisms clarified in 1980s and 1990s, reliability of laser diodes and photodiodes is discussed for application to current optical fiber networks such as communication systems employing wavelength-division-multiplexing technique (WDM), high-frequency modulation technique, etc.

Reliability of MgAI Semiconductor Interconnects

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1970
Data are presented comparing 1-percent MgAI wire with 1-percent SiAI wire for ultrasonically bonded interconnects on semiconductor devices. The effects of annealing time and temperature on the strength of the wire demonstrate the mechanical superiority of the 1-percent MgAI wire.

Reliability investigation of semiconductor coolers

XVI ICT '97. Proceedings ICT'97. 16th International Conference on Thermoelectrics (Cat. No.97TH8291), 2002
The life tests on the thermoelectric shock of semiconductor coolers show that the life of semiconductor coolers follows the Weibull distribution. After the early failed devices are removed, the failure rule of the devices can be described as an exponential distribution. The main failure mode is the crack between electric couple material and welding pad.
