About us:

  • The Reliability Laboratory of IMT-Bucharest was established in 1977, as a necessary tool for Quality & Reliability assurance of the electron components designed and fabricated by the Institute.
  • During the 1980s, the Laboratory was involved in delivering high reliability electronic components (for industrial and automotive applications, avionics, missiles, etc.) and in reliability testing of microelectronic devices and electronic components.
  • An integrated system for monitoring the batch reliability for electron components was elaborated and used for more than 50 types of components (1985-2000).
  • Today, the mission of the Laboratory is to provide tools for improving the design & technology of materials and devices (sensors, actuators, microsystems, nanostructures and microelectronic components), by assessing and building the quality & reliability in a Concurrent Engineering approach.
  • New equipment, purchased in 2008-2009, greatly enhanced the capability of the Laboratory to execute reliability tests, especially at combined stresses:
