Kay Boardroom, Kim Engineering Building, University of Maryland
On October 14, 2026, the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering will hold its Reliability Science for Electronics Symposium. This meeting will be held in the Kay Boardroom, Kim Engineering Building, at the University of Maryland. A Zoom option will be available for those who cannot attend in person. The meeting will include an overview of CALCE research activities with several detailed research project presentations. The meeting will be open to all CALCE members. For non-CALCE organizations interested in attending, please contact Dr. Osterman.
Topics include:
- Ripple Current Testing of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) for Correlation with Selection Criteria
- Modeling and Physical Analysis of Lubrication in Lightly Loaded Contacts Undergoing Fretting
- HDI Laminate Reliability Concerns.
- Feature Size-based Dimensional Data for Component Reliability Assessment.
- Microstructure-sensitive Grain-scale Model for Cyclic Fatigue in Oligocrystalline SAC Interconnects
- Coating Durability in Electronic Products
- Thermal Cycle Reliability Models for Lead-free High-Performance Solder Interconnects and Wafer Level Package Solder Interconnect Tests
- Reliability of Low-Temperature Solder Interconnects
