ESREF 2022
33rd European Symposium on Reliability of Electron
Devices Failure Physics and Analysis
September 26-29, 2022
Welcome to ESREF 2022 in Berlin!
ESREF 2022, the 33rd European Symposium on Reliability of Electron Devices, Failure Physics and Analysis, will take place in Berlin (Germany) from September 26-29, 2022 at the H4 Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz.
This international symposium continues to focus on the newest developments and future prospects for quality and reliability management of materials, devices, and circuits for micro-, nano-, and optoelectronics. It provides a European forum for all aspects of reliability management and innovative analytical techniques for present and future electronic applications.
CONFERENCE CHAIRMAN
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Schneider Ramelow
Director of Research Centre for Microperipheric Technologies at TU Berlin
and Director of Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM, Berlin
A word from the Conference Chairs
We are delighted to host the ESREF 2022 in Berlin. After a long period of online events and social distancing, we are in good hope that this event will enable us to meet in person again and to share and promote new ideas longer lasting electronics. This is an important contribution to our society, because an increased lifetime will help to reduce CO2-emissions in electronics production and recycling. But reliability also enables electronics to be used in new applications in extremely harsh environments like space, transport, energy conversion and smart functions. Also this will help us to adress main future societal challenges. A special emphasis will be given on networking: The conference will be the ideal place to establish, reinvigorate and strengthen your contacts with scientists and engineers from all over the world. To make it easier to join us from abroad all session will be streamed live for online viewing.
