Abstract
Higher levels of product and service quality are clearly demanded in the marketplace. Also, high quality is no longer restricted to expensive products. Cost is an important constituent of quality. Low-cost products that meet the functional objectives of the customer are an important element in the strategy of any company that hopes to be competitive in the global marketplace. Customer-oriented companies respond aggressively to these high expectations. The benchmark of quality today spurs competition for better products tomorrow. This has been seen in the consumer products industry with notable examples in automobiles, electronics, and cameras. In the computer industry, there is the additional drive for defect-free products because of the usage of on-line systems. They are crucial for the basic operation of businesses such as retail sales, reservations, financial operations, and manufacturing control systems. One solution is redundancy or “fail soft” approaches. They are effective but add to the system cost and complexity. The ideal solution is defect-free system components and assemblies. The technologist must strive for perfect products. This book is about diagnostics for defects in the microelectronics industry. Defects will occur during development of rapidly advancing, high-technology products. It is essential to understand and eliminate them as soon as possible. At least as important is the effort to prevent defects from ever occurring. This chapter discusses methods of developing and manufacturing products that are defect-free.
