Upcoming Events
14th International Conference: Reliability and Stress-Related Phenomena in Nanoelectronics
30.05.2016 (Monday) - 01.06.2016 (Wednesday)
, 09:00 - 18:00
Bad Schandau
The conference will provide a forum for presenting current research and for discussions of future developments related to reliability and stress-induced phenomena in nanoelectronics. Stresses arising in metal structures and surrounding dielectric materials due to novel process steps and advanced materials can lead to degradation and failure of micro- and nanoelectronic products, and therefore, they bring new challenges for process integration, design optimization and reliability. Following the spirit of previous workshops, new research results and advances in basic understanding are emphasized.
Call for Papers
One-page abstracts must be received by November 30, 2015. Address the abstracts to the Chair: ehrenfried.zschech@ikts.fraunhofer.de Notice of acceptance of papers will be given by January 10, 2016. Accepted abstracts will be published in the conference abstract booklet as submitted
