"Preconditions for reliability."
The MCL offers a variety of testing methods to determine the durability of electronic components. The focus lies on identifying the thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of components and their constituent materials. With the aid of advanced numerical analysis, we close the circle between function assessment, reliability assessment, and predictive reliability analysis. These findings form the basis for designing new and reliable products.
