Industry experts provide an overview of the mature topic of oxide reliability, which concerns bias-temperature stability, uniformity, interface properties, leakage currents, endurance, and the use of
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Lifetime and Reliability: Critical Challenges in Fuel Cells presents in one volume the most recent research that aims at solving key issues for the deployment of SOFC at a commer

With the increased complexity of modern integrated circuits, it is important that reliability problems be attacked properly with the appropriate tools. This volume recognizes that almost all reliability problems are materials problems, and helps to put 'reliabilty physics' on a firm scientific foundation. Topics include: electromigration; stress effects on reliability; stress and packaging; metallization; device, oxide and dielectric reliability; new investigative techniques; corrosion.
In this work, the reliability of HfO2 (hafnium oxide) with poly gate and dual metal gate electrode (Ru–Ta alloy, Ru) was investigated. Hard breakdown and soft breakdown, particularly the Weibull
