Dewalt Seminar Room, 2164, Martin Hall, University of Maryland
An intensive 4-day course on Failure Analysis of Electronics is being offered by CALCE. The four-day course will cover specimen preparation and materials analysis techniques applicable to electronic assemblies, components, and devices. The course consists of classroom instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory training. Lecture topics include physics-of-failure root cause analysis, guidelines for selecting analytical tools, and practical instruction in laboratory techniques. The laboratory portion of the course includes demonstrations and step-by-step, hands-on sample preparation using metallographic techniques on the latest failure-analysis equipment. In addition, a number of important non-destructive and destructive analysis techniques will be demonstrated.
