Category - Reliability of Electronic Systems

For 30 years the department Environmental & Reliability Engineering at Fraunhofer IZM has been researching, developing and consulting on the subject of environmentally compatible design and reliabilty of electronics and IT.

Fraunhofer IZM develops innovative, customer-oriented solutions for robust, energy-efficient and sustainable electronic systems. We ensure their reliability through application-specific system design, qualification, weak point analysis and optimization both at the system and technology level. Experimental and simulative methods are also developed and applied for this purpose.

Reliability assessment and tamper detection of complex electronic systems is increasingly carried out using hybrid (grey-box) modeling approaches. Functional circuit structures are extended by physics-based model approaches and data-based, AI-supported evaluation methods (digital twin).
