As silicon photonics costs come down, the technology is being worked into new applications, from connectivity to AI. But full commercial production requires testing those photonic circuits before ...

Semiconductor aging refers to the slow loss of electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device as a result of continuous use or prolonged exposure to various environmental conditions like ...

Environmental and qualification testing play a critical role in this process. As device geometries shrink and packaging technologies become more complex, environmental stress testing provides a ...

Early results of using device-aware testing on alternative memories show expanded test coverage, but this is just the start. Once the semiconductor industry realized that it was suffering from device ...

Thought to be dead but is live. Known to be live, but those involved do not have adequate training/appropriate equipment or have not taken adequate precautions. Fig. 1. Forty-eight percent of reported ...

Most of the electrical power distribution infrastructure is static, and in many facilities, the mindset for electrical equipment and devices is “set it, and forget it.” However, much of the existing ...

Electrical safety testing has been around for almost a century, and safety agencies have been testing and certifying products for almost as long. Electrical and electronic products have changed ...

What just happened? USB testing devices are now widely available at nearly every price point. A Luxembourg-based engineer decided to take things a step further, creating a high-end tester that packs a ...
