About this title

Synopsis

This third edition textbook provides the basics of reliability physics and engineering that are needed by electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, biomedical engineers, materials scientists, and applied physicists to help them to build better devices/products. The information contained within should help all fields of engineering to develop better methodologies for: more reliable product designs, more reliable materials selections, and more reliable manufacturing processes― all of which should help to improve product reliability. A mathematics level through differential equations is needed. Also, a familiarity with the use of excel spreadsheets is assumed. Any needed statistical training and tools are contained within the text. While device failure is a statistical process (thus making statistics important), the emphasis of this book is clearly on the physics of failure and developing the reliability engineering tools required for product improvements during device-design and device-fabrication phases.

About the Author

J.W. McPherson is recognized internationally as an expert in Reliability Physics & Engineering. He has published over 200 papers on reliability, authored the Reliability Chapters for 4 Books, awarded 15 patents, and holds the title of Texas Instruments Senior Fellow Emeritus. He was the 1995 General Chairman of the IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium and still serves on its Board of Directors. In 2004, Joe received the IEEE Engineer of the Year Award from the Texas Society of Professional Engineers. In 2006, he was the Chairman of the International Sematech Reliability Council. Joe is an IEEE Fellow and the Founder/CEO of McPherson Reliability Consulting, LLC. His semiconductor reliability expertise includes device-physics, design-in reliability, wafer-fabrication and assembly-related reliability issues. Several of the reliability models that are used today in the semiconductor industry are closely associated with his name.
