Session S13
Reliability / Packaging

Reliability is of paramount importance for aerospace applications, particularly for space missions where in most cases it is impossible to send a human to repair any damage. MNT has demonstrated that it has the inherent reliability required for space applications. Speakers will provide a summary of reliability issues to be considered during the development of low-maturity MNT-based materials and devices for aerospace applications. Each speaker will present the approach taken by his/her organization to address issues related to reliability testing and characterization of new materials and devices to ensure suitability for aerospace applications.

Chaired by :

Francis Pressecq, CNES and Ramesham Rajeshuni, NASA JPL

Lead Speaker :

Bruno Foucher, EADS, CCR
"Elements of MEMS reliability issue for Aeronautics"

Speakers :

Ernest Garcia, Sandia National lab
“MEMS Product Cycle and It's Connection to Reliability”
Claude Devron, Alcatel Alenia Space
Liu Zewen, IMTU Tsinghua University

Pilot Project Concept topics related to Session S13: Amongst the 7 Pilot Projects that will be discussed during the process workshops, we feel that the content of topics P2, P3, P4, and P7 would perhaps enhance the material presented at this Session.

•  MNT Based Harsh Environment Sensors

Nano/Pico-Satellites for Civilian and Defense Applications
