Highlights

2016

2013

  • The 3rd International Conference on Condition Monitoring of Machinery in Non-Stationary Operations (CMMN02013) will be held in Ferrara (Italy) during the 8th, 9th and l0th of May 2013.
  • At the International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), being held April 14-18, 2013 in Monterey, CA, research carried out in our Department is highlighted: "New data from the University of Ferrara presented in the paper titled Erratic Bits Classification for Efficient Repair Strategies in Automotive Embedded Flash Memories, C. Zambelli, P. Olivo, G. Koebernik, R. Ullmann, M. Bauer, G. Tempel, shows that common techniques used for optimizing yield in memories (such as error correction code and redundant addresses) may be overused. By classifying erratic bits more carefully, it’s possible to use less ECC and up to 35 percent less redundancy."
