Reliability of the circuit depends on many factors, starting from topology of the circuit, selection of the appropriate components and final board layout. Each phase has several theories and principles to be considered during the development phase and they will be discussed here. Topology of the circuit is the most critical step in circuit design. In my 25 years of experience, I came across so many engineers who rely on text book circuit, circuit on the internet and reference design kit from manufacturers. There is nothing wrong with copying the circuit from these sources if you are not violating the intellectual ...

Visit our Capabilities [1] and Facility list [2] pages to get a more detailed view of PNC. To meet growing needs of our customer using SMT boards, we started our Laser cut SMT Stencil Division [3] in 1998. Unlike a normal cloth mounted stencil, we have come up with our own unique patented ACCUFRAME® [4] which is a reusable frame. For more information on our Stencil making services, visit our STENCIL page.

by Sam Sangani As gate oxide thickness and dimensions of scale shrink in integrated circuit design, reliability problems occur and need to be considered early in the design process. Some of the more problematic issues include negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) and hot carrier injection (HCI). NBTI is a critical factor in PMOS devices and leads to current degradation, yield loss, and functional failure of integrated circuits. HCI has primarily affected NMOS devices, but today it is also a concern for PMOS devices. HCI is caused by hot carriers in the gate oxide that lead to oxide damages, which manifest themselves ...
