Reliability of Organic Compounds in Microelectronics and Optoelectronics (eng)

This book aims to provide a comprehensive reference into the critical subject of failure and degradation in organic materials, used in optoelectronics and microelectronics systems and devices. Readers in different industrial sectors, including microelectronics, automotive, lighting, oil/gas, and petrochemical will benefit from this book. Several case studies and examples are discussed, which readers will find useful to assess and mitigate similar failure cases. More importantly, this book presents methodologies and useful approaches in analyzing a failure and in relating a failure to the reliability of materials and systems.

Willem Dirk van Driel has a >20-year track record in the reliability domain. Application areas range from healthcare, gas and oil explorations, semiconductors and my current position in Philips Lighting where he is responsible for Solid State Lighting reliability. Besides that, he holds a professor position at the University of Delft, The Netherlands. His scientific interests are solid state lighting, microelectronics and microsystems technologies, virtual prototyping, virtual reliability qualification and designing for reliability of microelectronics and microsystems. He acts as the chair for the organizing committee of the IEEE conference EuroSimE and has authored and co-authored more than 300 scientific publications, including journal and conference papers, book or book chapters and invited keynote lectures. He holds 20 patents. He is a certified DFSS Black Belt.

In her PhD and Post-Doc projects Dr. Yazdan Mehr has extensively worked on different aspectsof LED-based products, i.e. materials, design, reliability, and degradation. She developed a deep understanding of correlation between design, materials, and degradation mechanism relationships in LEDs. As well, she has a solid background in Materials Engineering as Dr Yazdan Mehr performed her Master at Materials Engineering Department of TUDelft.
