Abstract

The paper analyses the trend in packaging for low-power integrated circuits (IC) and the principal failures that can occur. A Fault-tree (FT) analysis is proposed, as well an analysis of the failure distribution (FD), which can be useful in safety-critical applications such as industrial and automotive.
