Abstract(in English) Many kind of electronic devices, including semiconductor devices, have been using in various fields and applications in the market. The types of failures of electronic devices that occur in the market today are often caused by unexpected failures in special environments, usage methods, and processes. Therefore, one of the main concerns in reliability development is the identification of complex failure mechanisms caused by special environments and their combinations, and reliability programs that emphasize physical failure analysis, risk assessment, and complex environment testing are in operation. On the other hand, the technical issues of reliability physics related to individual failure mechanisms have not been resolved. For example, dielectric breakdown over time (TDDB) has not been completely clarified in terms of reliability physics, and some aspects are still being considered based on reliability test results and material property measurements. One of the main reasons for this is that it is difficult to detect the location of failures in short-circuit systems due to secondary failures, making it difficult for physical failure analysis to function in the micro region. As described above, technical issues related to the reliability physics of electronic devices still exist in various fields, and various technical activities will be necessary in the future.
