9th Annual IEEE CPMT SCV Soft Error Rate (SER) Workshop – SCV Chapter, IEEE CPMT Society

EDS/EPS/Reliability Chapter Workshop 
9th Annual IEEE Soft Error Rate (SER) Workshop
    — tutorials, alpha upset, materials selection, process control, case studies … 
    — Co-sponsored by: Electron Devices, Electronics Packaging and Reliability Chapters 
    — No cost (includes lunch); Tues, Nov 7, at Xilinx, San Jose (or via WebEx) 
This local Workshop addresses alpha-induced soft errors in computers, routers, memory, etc, and offers simultaneous on-site and remote participation for presentations and interactive discussions on a variety of critical subjects on SER for an ever-increasing international audience. For this year’s event, we have invited two industry experts in the field to offer tutorials on fundamentals of soft errors and their impact on applications, as well as experimental approaches.
  8:30 AM: Introduction 
Two morning tutorials: 
  8:45 AM: Tutorial: “Single Event Effects” (Austin Lesea, Xilinx)
  9:25 AM: Tutorial: “Probability and Statistics for Experimenters” (Gary Swift, Swift Engineering)
Talk Titles: 
  10:00 AM: “Study of the Alpha Counts from Solder Bump Material at Elevated Temperature and Introduction of Advanced-Grade Material” (Hirotaka Hirano, Mitsubishi Materials) 
  10:45 AM: “Assessment of Alpha Particle Susceptibility of Product Chips Through Accelerated Tests” (Paul Muller, IBM)
  11:25 AM: “Opportunities at the Stanford Underground Research Facility” (Jaret Heise, Stanford Underground Research Facility) 
  12:00 noon: Lunch (provided) 
  1:00 PM: “Practical Aspects of Realtime Testing” (Jeff Barton and Eric Crabill, Xilinx)
  1:45 PM: “New High Energy Neutron Spallation Beam, ChipIr at Appleton-Reutherford Lab at Oxford” (Francis Classe, Cypress) 
  2:25 PM: “On the Efficacy of Using Proton Beams For Estimating Neutron-Induced Soft Error Rates” (Norbert Seifert, Intel) 
  3:15 PM: Closing and Dismissal
