Invitation to CMSE 2015
Dear Military and Space Electronics Professionals,
The CMSE Conference promotes new technology and advancements in electronic components for military and space
electronics.
The DoD emphasis to use commercial components soon discovered that many of these components were not suitable
for military and space systems without costly testing, uprating, up-screening and protection from temperature extremes
and radiation levels. The major issue is that many newer technology components are only available as enhanced PEMs
and COTS and may not satisfy the design requirements. Some of the newer designs, materials and quality will not
successfully operate in the military environment. Effort should be expended to assure the performance is adequate
for military and space applications.
There are many examples of where circuit boards and subsystems built with commercial components have been
successfully used as embedded electronics in military systems. The road to success is a function of the OEM design,
application rules, quality practices and testing to detect deficiencies.
CMSE is the most comprehensive conference addressing successful practices for the use of both military and COTS
components in military and space systems. Personnel working in this field are encouraged to attend CMSE 2015 to
learn about the latest information and visit the exhibits which promote current equipment, information and services
concerning components for military and space applications.
Informative presentations this year include:
COTS IC Construction Issues
BME Technology
PEMs & COTS Testing
Connector Issues
Tantalum Capacitor Reliability
Traceability Practices
Other Useful Topics
I look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles at CMSE 2015, mark your calendar, Mar. 2 - 4.

Components for Military and Space Electronics
March 2 - 4, 2015
The Concourse Hotel (LAX) Los Angeles, CA
Tutorial – Component Engineering 101
8:30 - 5:00
Presented by
John Devaney and Howard Dicken
Hi-Rel Labs
Component Engineering Practices
How component engineering can prevent system
failures and keep programs both on budget and
schedule.
CA - FA - DPA Responsibilities Of the
Component Engineer
A review of the interaction between failure/
construction analysis results and the Component
Engineer with current examples to illustrate various
disciplines.
Diode Action - The Basis of it all!
Using a basic building block of pure silicon, Bell Lab
Engineers built a transistor that depends on P/N
diode action and the evolution to modern circuits.
Buy an Off-the-Shelf Part “Better Than Mil Spec?”
How a clever Electrical Engineer can design a circuit
to take into account the change in semiconductor
action at 230 deg C and “outsmart” purple plague
failures at 300 deg C.
What is Missing in the Data Sheet
Read all 50 pages! What should be listed, such
as design criteria for electro migration, latch up,
radiation tolerance.
Copper Ball Bonding
Not a Panacea
Reviews the major changes in the bonder setup and
due to the much harder copper ball, a new problem
has arisen to circuit under pad (CUP)
Mil Spec Implementation at DPA
Why so Many Visual Escapees
Biggest
problems,
training,
understanding
terminology and correct inspection equipment plus
ambiguities in the specification.
Other Parts on the Board: Capacitors & Resistors
Construction and properties of both tantalum and
ceramic capacitors, with typical failure mechanisms,
plus resistors, thin and thick film, wire wound and
metal foil.
Is it Really Pure? Tin (Sn) - SEM-EDS or
SEM-XRF
Misconceptions of the difference in the two
techniques. Both analyze x-rays but why the results
can be significantly different.
Basic Failure Mechanisms - “A Bakers Dozen”
General MacArthur once said, “Old Generals never
die, they just fade away.” Unfortunately the same
cannot be said about the basic failure mechanisms.
The Industry’s 8 years forget cycle returns; ESD
walking wounded, electro migration, purple plague,
whiskers and dendrites.
