The Microelectronics Reliability & Qualification Workshop (MRQW) provided a forum for open discussion of issues for microelectronics targeted for use in space systems. The 2020 meeting consisted of 3 days with 60 speakers in multiple technical sessions.

Getting It Right MRQW
Keynote speaker, Dr. John Cressler (L), Schlumberger Chair Professor from Georgia Tech, presented the first practical bandgap-engineered device to be successfully implemented in silicon. Keynote speaker, Dr. David Miller (R), Chief Technology Officer for The Aerospace Corporation, described three micro-gravity technology research facilities to mature dynamics and control technology.

Invited speakers covered the latest technology and work in progress in different areas of microelectronics device reliability and qualification methodologies, including:

•  advanced technologies reliability issues

•  advanced space FPGAs and memories

•  RF, analog, and mixed-signal device and design issues

•  space radiation effects

•  reliability for extreme environments

•  advanced packaging issues

•  failure analysis

•  GaN reliability and radiation effects

•  emerging technologies

•  alternate grade parts

•  trust and verification science

Highlights from 2020 MRQW included a session on the ongoing work of the High Reliability Electronics Virtual program.
