Full paper download Designing medical implantable devices for high reliability is crucial for a variety of reasons. To ensure that used components are manufactured to meet medical implantable application standards, proper screening and high reliability design is required. This paper elaborates on requirements for MLCC ceramic capacitor to meet such ...
Full paper download The paper compares two ways to increase the robustness of assembly against ECM electrochemical migration. In the paper, we underline some challenges in gap cleaning. We describe state-of-the-art methods of cleaning process control and diagnostics, which move the cleaning process from randomly controlled to very safe with ...
