As the device scales down, several serious design challenges emerges namely design complexity, power, crosstalk, delay and reliability. The design challenges are interrelated and a tradeoff has to be done for yielding a reliable structure for portable microelectronic devices in the DSM era.. By considering this, the book focuses on developing a reliability prediction system using failure mechanism analysis.The work suggests the ways to handle failure mechanisms to maintain the reliability of power semiconductor device. Hence, the need for a lifetime aware device design has been emphasized in this book.
