Special Symposium

Driving forces in microelectronics and MEMS/NEMS manufacturing are the miniaturization processes with steadily increasing service temperatures, temperature gradients and cooling requirements. For these requirements, new processes and technologies are developed to achieve highly localized tailoredthermo mechanical properties. New approaches down to the nanoscale in frontend as well as backend processes of semiconductor industry are continuously brought into the application.

This symposium is focused on reliability tasks of chip design, MEMS/NEMS and cleantech applications were nano or microstructural effects are dominating factors for reliability and lifetime. Novel testing methods for thermo mechanical characterization of the building blocks of nanotechnology are also addressed. Nanoreliability approaches from other sectors are also welcome to provide an overview of experimental and numerical concepts for nanotechnology applications.
