Major trend in Microelectronics is the move towards higher system integration driving increasing compactness and complexity and all at acceptable cost. This paper presents an overview on selected results from the ECSEL JU project iRel40 which has the ultimate goal of improving reliability of electronic components and systems by reducing failure rates along the entire value chain. We first present an aspect for development, where digital twins are applied to develop and design an optimum assembly and packaging. Then we highlight that preassembly, intelligent data handling applied in production, and the importance of material and testing knowhow have impact to improve reliability.

In recent years, the rise of the Internet of things and inexpensive sensors enabled the introduction of low-cost devices for high-density urban air quality monitoring. These are commonly manufactured as closed systems without support for third-party sensors. This paper proposes a universal platform for wireless data transfer, power management, remote configuration, and physical mounting of environmental sensors. The platform consists of a master module with a basic set of sensors, which performs control and communication, and slots for additional modules. The device can utilize alternative power sources. Design of the device is described with emphasis on the platform versatility, accurate temperature measurement, additional modules for measurement of particulate matter, solar irradiation, and noise level. Preliminary results of deployment of 7 devices in urban conditions are presented. Long-term operation tests indicate high reliability of power management and network communication, mechanical and weather resistance.

The paper presents part of results of double-pulse switching tests and extraction of dynamic on-resistance of packaged normally-off GaN HEMTs. Devices were tested under various switching conditions. Effects of the switching parameters on dynamic on-resistance were analysed and compared. Samples were exposed to repetitive SC stress for several thousand repetitions of switching. Shift of on-resistance due to short-circuit stress was observed, but not of significant magnitude.

The paper deals with the optimization of 2x2 optical switch for photonic integrated circuits based on two 2x2 MMI splitters and two phase-modulators. The optical switch was modelled in the RSoftCAD with the simulation tool BeamPROP. The optimization was done to minimise the insertion losses and broaden the spectral band at 1550 nm by using linear tapers in a 2x2 MMI splitter topology. The 2x2 optical switch is a common element for creating more complex 1xN or NxN optical switches in all-optical signal processing.

During the last few decades, the development of information and communication technology, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and AI has brought several unique tools with extraordinary added value. One can easily see that all these technologies and tools are now available via standard services at home, in cars, in a public life and during the social interconnection with the environment. Machine learning is a technology that computers can learn on their own to create and predict models. Furthermore, deep learning is a field of machine learning using deep neural network theory, using the principle of neural network corresponding to the human brain. Expansion of cities and population growth necessitate utilizing automated video surveillance and computer vision-based analyses for pedestrian and vehicle safety together with the growth of number of cars and traffic infrastructure [1]. All these aspects of modern technology give us several questions. How can we be so sure that all these “smart” algorithms work reliably? In this work, we introduce a case study for predicting an object behaviour with respect to its safety. Predicting trajectory of an object, either being detected or occluded, provides to predict all probable risky situations by exploiting the last seen parameters of the object movement even when it disappears. All the scenes, including potential collision situation, rely on object detection and tracking. One question remains! How can we measure the performance?

The influence of annealing temperature on emission and capture processes in GaAsN/GaAs diodes with a nitrogen content of 0.93, 1.51 and 1.81% have been investigated by the Deep Level Transient Fourier Spectroscopy (DLTFS) method. The defects with activation energies 0.48 eV and 0.63 eV were observed and confirmed in each sample's DLTFS spectrum at a temperature of 350 K before and after annealing. The most markable impact of annealing temperature on the defect distribution was observed in the structures with the lowest nitrogen content (0.93%) for temperatures less than 300 K.

This report describes a novel approach to the fabrication of temperature sensors based on poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). The sensor fabrication process was optimized. It utilizes ink-jet printing technology to deposit layers of silver contacts and sensitive PEDOT:PSS layer, which were subsequently passivated. The main advantage of these fully printed sensors is flexibility, low production cost and quick implementation in the IoT network. In order to demonstrate the use of fabricated temperature sensors (principle of operation based on the resistance change of the PEDOT:PSS layer), a sensor platform was designed and developed, which is capable of sending the measured data automatically and in real-time via the IoT network to a web application.

In this paper, we document optical splitters based on Y-branch and also on MMI splitting principle. The 1×4 Y-branch splitter was prepared in 3D geometry fully from polymer approaching the single mode transmission at 1550 nm. We also prepared new concept of 1×4 MMI optical splitter. Their optical properties and character of output optical field were measured by near-field scanning optical microscope. Splitting properties and optical outputs of both splitters are very promising and increase an attractiveness of presented 3D technology and polymers.

In this work, we have carried out a detailed transmission electron microscopy investigation on ohmic contacts in InAl GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors consisting of Ti/Al/Ni/Au deposited by evaporation electron beam followed by a rapid thermal annealing at 875°C for 30s under N2 atmosphere. Subsequent to an optimized surface preparation, prior to the metal deposition, it has been possible to systematically obtain a contact resistance of 0.15-0.16 Ω.mm instead of the usual 0.5-0.6 Ω.mm. This is comparable to the state of the art results which have been published subsequent to more complex processes including molecular beam regrowth.

Within this paper a test system is introduced which is able to cycle multiple discrete power semiconductors in a hybrid manner within a wide temperature range, based on arbitrary programmable temperature mission profiles. Based on these profiles active power cycling is performed in combination with different static climatic conditions. The aim of this kind of test is to emulate the real thermal stress the device would undergo in harsh environments, where strong temperature changes could lead to a faster degradation of the device. With this approach the reliability of the device can be evaluated without the need for a lifetime model, as it is based on standard temperature cycling methods.
