Mission
Statement:
Develop AEPOF Methodologies for Analysis of Automotive Controller and Safety ICs
For the last 40 years, the relentless scaling of IC technology has yielded corresponding improvments iin IC performance and cost reduction. However, increased power densities and other scaling effects have diminished the lifetimes from more than two decades down to less than one. When failures of these systems occur, specially trained and experienced consultants are needed for the root cause determination of these failures. AEPOF diagnostic methodologies were created to tease out these often exotic failures.

AEPOF System - Convergence of Techniques
The purpose is to design and construct an AEPOF Test Platform which will be used for the Physics of Failure root cause determination of suspect latent failure ICs, such as Toyota Unintended Acceleration systems. Areas of susceptibility targeted by Rare Event and Intermittent Latent Failure Candidates, Inverse FMEA, DFMEA, PRMEA, and In Situ Dynamic Iddq Transient Signal Analysis will be identified and probed with different types of logic timing triggered electrical fault inducing stimuli while monitoring fault codes.
