2. The Heterogeneous Technology Alliance HTA Project Idea: Reliability Assessment with Qualified Material Data Sets EU Call: e.g. ICT Calls in LEIT (e.g. ICT1-3), photonics KETs Project Idea short description: Reliability aligned technology development for highly miniaturized products (MEMS, ICs, photonics, ) Short Description (ref. to the reliability part): Challenging reliability assessment (manufacturing process & endurance) by physics of failure approaches (main obstacle for micro / nano scale components - used input data sets for FEA)  measurement of material properties from components as manufactured (new techniques, e.g. FIB based)  advanced validation strategies for complex material behavior and/or data sets of material property  demonstration of improved failure avoidance strategies by accompanying process/product developm. IP situation and commercial viability: - Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is increasingly substantial part of process and device development - most limiting factor for FEA reliability assessment – quality of input data set (material properties, stress) Potential Applications: -devices / systems with thin films / film stacks / micro&nano scale structures (e.g. BEoL stacked IC, 3D integration systems, sensors, smart systems, photonics systems) Potential Consortium/Competences needed: Firm 1: manufacturers of systems with dedicated need for accompanying failure avoidance analysis Firm 2: testing tool manufacturer RTO: material characterization (mechanical properties), device and system testing Contact: Fraunhofer ENAS dietmar.vogel@enas.fraunhofer.de Phone: +49-371-45001 412 / 220
