This is the official app for ISTFA 2018. ISTFA is the premier event for the Failure Analysis of Microelectronics, attracting the who's who of the FA industry.

While technology advances fast and the market demands the latest and the greatest, successful companies strive to stay competitive and remain profitable. Some have moved their factories to low cost centers and many outsource IC fabrication to external foundries which makes Failure Analysis more challenging. Is it time to rethink failure analysis strategy to reduce cost? Should we identify the most efficient workflow and equipment for hard failures vs. soft failures or systematic failures vs. random failures? How about designing a workflow that focuses on high return, high value failure analysis to maximize return.
