RIIF Workshop
Date: Mar 18, 2013 12:00 am – Mar 22, 2013 12:00 am
Location: Grenoble, France
1st RIIF Workshop
Towards Standards for Specifying and Modelling the
Reliability of Complex Electronic Systems
Grenoble, France, March 22nd, 2013
in conjunction with DATE 2013 (March 18-22nd, 2013)
Overview
Complex silicon devices are increasingly controlling critical systems where safety and reliability are key concerns. Silicon technology is subject to numerous failure modes which can be broadly classified into soft- error effects (e.g. due primarily natural radiation, EMI, ESD) and life-time effects (e.g. electro-migration, NBTI, HCI). It is necessary to consider all of these failure modes and how they propagate through the system and produce user-visible effects. There are no consistent tools or methodologies to address this problem. Current ad-hoc approaches fail to cope with the diversity of technology failure modes, increased design sizes, increased level of integration in semiconductors, smaller transistor sizes, higher frequencies, low power and the complex relationships between consumers and suppliers of electronic components. RIIF (Reliability Information Interchange Format), is an initiative to develop a standard modelling language for specifying the failure mechanisms in silicon devices and systems built using these devices. The workshop will bring together reliability experts from the compute, automotive and aviation sectors to describe the challenges in effective reliability modelling and to take the initial steps towards establishing the requirements for RIIF as a unified reliability modelling language for next system generations.
