PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS:
Hundreds of revealed, resolved and prevented prevalent critical and catastrophic early safety, quality, reliability,
improvement, profitability, testing (SQRIPT) problems normally due to inherent systemic features, functions, factors, faults
and failures (F7) across technologies, applications, countries. Saved numerous multimillion $ contracts, losses and producer’s
reputations with concurrent significant SQRIPT raise for practically all employers.
Revealed/characterized/classified/prioritized/fixed 3-5 main prevalent new failure modes, mechanisms, root causes (FMMC)
and their derivatives/subclasses total, subtle, hidden, parametric, intermittent, unbalanced/upset/erratic). Revealed unique
relationships between main FMMCs and technological features (materials, parts, electrical and mechanical designs,
processes, s/w, applications, etc.). Rectified/improved qualification, NDE and screening methods and organization.
Provided effective and efficient focused CAPA/SQRIPT. Developed theoretical methodologies, techniques, methods, and
models addressing the abovementioned phenomena/problems: 3-stage systemic early FA (SEFA) methodology; joint
FTA-FMECA-F7, product/project-based organizational P7 classification, which helps asses problem scale and sources
and determine appropriate course of FA-CAPA; several types on F7 interactions; physics and classifications of various
failure types; models of several common electronics technologies; (non)Arrhenius phenomena and (H)ALT/qualification
optimization methodology. Exercised innovative result-oriented accomplished SQRIPT management based on early FA
(RCA). Formalized tailored Pareto-Juran rules; outlined practical unified SQRIPT and SEFA-MAD-CAPA chain
principles Showed that systemic early FA result in a unique combination of SQRIPT associated with reduction of
manufacturing losses, R&D facilitation, high profitability and customer delight.
1. Experimental Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and FA R&D
1.1 Relevant early failure modes, mechanisms and root causes (FMMC), typically 3-5 main subclasses: solder,
welding and bonding joints on PCBs, Hybrids, glass insulated and enameled fine-wire parts, discrete assemblies; bare
multilayer and double/single side PCBs and Hybrid substrates (corrosion, migration, delamination, interlayer joints, etc.);
conformal protecting coating (epoxy and Si elastosil); various measuring devices (pressure/thermal/magnetic/acoustic
transducers, moving coils, +); computers (memory, processor, and power supplies, etc.); telephones (dialing, audio/AF,
radio/RF, batteries, etc.); communication, data acquisition, control equipment/systems (analog/digital/power circuits and
s/f); Si VLSI and discrete parts (package and f/w); InGaAs opto-electronics (chip-, assembly- and package-related
FMMCs); electro-mechanical-magnetic-chemical parts; AF/RF parts (Rx, Tx, filters, multiplexers, etc.); Packages (metal,
ceramic,conformal protecting epoxy and Si elastosil coating); NiCd and Li batteries; connectors and sockets.
1.2 IrrelevantandAbuseFMMCs:TypicallyoccurbecauseofopenFA-CAPAloop. SpecificsourcesofEOSandMOS(powersupply
spikes; unnecessary tight parameter/tests (lightening, fungus, fire resistance; nomenclature, range and/or failure criteria
regardless of products, applications and customers). Power supply V-spikes; LD burn-in / (H)ALT/EST overstressing due
to wrong polarity, high T and lack of FA/POF/RP (see burned fine-wire fuses and InGaAs LD/PD above). FOD in the
transmission oil. Uncontrolled high humidity (open vessel vs. a regular controlled chamber).
1.3 Missing / Test Escapes FMMCs: missing failures/test escapes are shown to follow insufficient
(re)qualification/verification: ASIC/module current drivers at T (process/design shifts); Incomplete parameter range (e.g.,
L=f(F), Usat=f(T), trec=f(T) +); Interference of independent channels; Lot-to-lot drift (internal VLSI/transistor
parameters); Softened ATE failure criterion; Increased field EOS returns (poor LU and ESD qualification); Absent jitter
test (broadband and high speed applications); Ineffective packaging of outdoor TC equipment; Improper vibration test
(wrong Fres); Wrong operating parameters of TC and TM equipment, EMI, software and mechanical incompatibility etc.
1.4 S/wandf/wFMMCs:Redundantstandbyvs.activecomputerconflict;Wrong/misrepresentativepartparameters;Remote terminal
address (RTA) failure; Inadequately robust DSP software; Missing signal edge effect; Wrong spec parameters in ATE; Wrong spec
requirements/conditionsmismatching fieldapplication; etc.
1.5 Test/Screening methods: (a) using functional prototype; (b) non-destructive capacitive methods of conductivity
loss localization; (c) measuring and statistical determination of hidden parametric failures; (d) various special test methods
for application specific components; (e) method of solder iron selection optimization; (f) unified application specific
FMMC database structure and classificatory/catalogues, libraries and database structures as well as auxiliary software
macros and scripts; (g) Application specific library complementing standard Relex software; (e) (H)ALT customization
per FA data.
The above root cause analysis (RCA) and FA R&D revealed unique relationships between ERF, technology,
application and management F5. This allowed developing effective and efficient focused CAPA/SQRIPT, which saved
numerous multimillion $ contracts, significantly improved ERF, facilitated R&D and dramatically reduced various losses.

2. Theoretical SQRIPT: Revealed, and consistently demonstrated vital importance of practical FA, RP and
POF especially for mass-produced products and vital criticality of early reliability & failures/infant mortality (ERF/IM)
occurring during testing, storage, transportation and beginning of field service. Distinguishedvarietyofsuperficiallysimilarearly
FMMCs previously deemed homogeneous. Proved that prevalent ERF of the modern mass-produced electronics are mostly related to inherent
F7 in contrast to traditionally deemed random causes (e.g., workmanship, ESD, space particles, supplier’s faults, etc.). Showed existence of
unique functional/causal relationships between main FMMCs and technological features, which provide basis for effective
and efficient focused CAPA/SQRIPT and “lessen learned” DB for various product families and applications.
Revealed and substantiated ERF-tailored Juran’s rules, incl., key “~80% similarity” between ERF, manufacturing,
R&D and normal life nonconformities. Discovered, substantiated and characterized several transition groups of
previously considered uniform ERF/IM: normal-early, early, super early and instantaneous failures (NEF, EF, SEF, IF)
thereby detailing/enriching a fundamental reliability bathtub curve.
Developed three-stage systemic early FA (SEFA) methodology based on systematic comprehensive hierarchical
ERF approach, which accommodates, stipulates and applies to all phases of product life cycle more general management
systems: FRACAS, CAPA, TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, Kaizen, Markey vigilance, etc. Presented criteria, rules and
recommendations for application depending on product/project/failure seriousness and specifics.
Developed joint risk analysis FTA-FMECA-F7 technique, which significantly widens understanding of product’s
quality and reliability problems The joint technique combines strengths of both FTA and FMECA and is considering not
only faults and failures, but also fundamental features, functions factors and fixes into a logical, natural unified methodic
approach (F7 concept). Defined and modeled several types on F7 interactions (matching, complementary and mixed);
physics of (super)early (non)degradative; (i)reversible, (i)relevant total, parametric, intermittent and unbalanced ERF.
Presented multifaceted ERF models of several common electronics technologies/phenomena: solder joints of
PCB, Hybrids and microwire wound parts; parametric precision measuring devices and sensors/transducers; telephone’s
dialing, AF and RF F7; chip-, assembly- and package-related InGaAsP optoelectronics; unbalanced/upset/erratic
(i)reversible IF of high speed electronics, etc. Proposed and substantiated a new practical product/project-based P7 failure
classification and three new stress test failure classes, which complement traditional failure classifications. The
classification emphasizes different organizational nature, sources and scale of failures/losses and different ways of their
addressing/tackling. Proposed FMMC-POF-RP based DIS-7 classification, which links ERF modes, mechanism and root
cause with physics, signs, symptoms and typical P7 and F7.
Revealed several specific classical as well as unconventional types of early non-Arrhenius and/or multi-
parametric modified Arrhenius-Eyring- Zhurkov model behaviors (e.g., changing activation energy Ea and Ka of some
complex compounds and alloys as well as a composition of Arrhenius parts). Managed to assess true changing Ea at
different environmental temperature intervals and functional stresses strengthening inspections and testing.
3. Early SQRIPT Management: Numerous times utilized three-stage Systematic Comprehensive Hierarchical ERF
analysis methodology and led interdisciplinary engineering FAB/task forces. Showed that systemic ERF analyses provide
the most effective and efficient tools for rare combination of quality-reliability improvement associated with reduction of
manufacturing losses, accelerated and smoothen R&D and its implementation; high profitability and customer delight.
Substantiated, founded, equipped, trained personnel and led (a) RCA lab (9 professionals and comprehensive electrical,
mechanical, physics and chemical, NDE and DPE analysis); (b) group of five RCA analysts; (c) experimental Hybrid ASIC
manufacturing shop. Organized/rectified (re)qualifications of (a) InGaAsP LD, LED, PD per Telcordia 332/357/983; (b)
broadband VLSI ASIC (re)qualifications per JEDEC 48/MIL 883; (c) test flight instrumentation per DOD, FAA-like and
Boeing’s spec ((H)TOL, (H)ALT, (H)ASS, THB, ESS, ESD, LU, etc.). Organized/rectified/optimized supplier
qualification, performance and monitoring for various product lines / companies / tasks. The above effectively and
efficiently improved early SQRIPT, dramatically improved customer satisfaction, enhanced contracts and competitiveness
concurrently with dramatic reduction of complaints, manufacturing and service losses, field returns, and maintenance
costs and facilitated R&D.

Uncontrolled high humidity (open vessel vs. a regular controlled chamber). 1.3 Missing / Test Escapes FMMCs: missing failures/test escapes are shown to follow insufficient (re)qualification/verification: ASIC/module current drivers at T (process/design shifts); Incomplete parameter range (e.g., L=f(F), Usat=f(T), trec=f(T) +); Interference of independent channels; Lot-to-lot drift (internal VLSI/transistor parameters); Softened ATE failure criterion; Increased field EOS returns (poor LU and ESD qualification); Absent jitter test (broadband and high speed applications); Ineffective packaging of outdoor TC equipment; Improper vibration test (wrong Fres); Wrong operating parameters of TC and TM equipment, EMI, software and mechanical incompatibility etc. 1.4 S/wandf/wFMMCs:Redundantstandbyvs.activecomputerconflict;Wrong/misrepresentativepartparameters;Remote terminal address (RTA) failure; Inadequately robust DSP software; Missing signal edge effect; Wrong spec parameters in ATE; Wrong spec requirements/conditionsmismatching fieldapplication; etc. 1.5 Test/Screening methods: (a) using functional prototype; (b) non-destructive capacitive methods of conductivity loss localization; (c) measuring and statistical determination of hidden parametric failures; (d) various special test methods for application specific components; (e) method of solder iron selection optimization; (f) unified application specific FMMC database structure and classificatory/catalogues, libraries and database structures as well as auxiliary software macros and scripts; (g) Application specific library complementing standard Relex software; (e) (H)ALT customization per FA data. The above root cause analysis (RCA) and FA R&D revealed unique relationships between ERF, technology, application and management F5. This allowed developing effective and efficient focused CAPA/SQRIPT, which saved numerous multimillion $ contracts, significantly improved ERF, facilitated R&D and dramatically reduced various losses.

Theoretical SQRIPT: Revealed, and consistently demonstrated vital importance of practical FA, RP and POF especially for mass-produced products and vital criticality of early reliability & failures/infant mortality (ERF/IM) occurring during testing, storage, transportation and beginning of field service. Distinguishedvarietyofsuperficiallysimilarearly FMMCs previously deemed homogeneous. Proved that prevalent ERF of the modern mass-produced electronics are mostly related to inherent F7 in contrast to traditionally deemed random causes (e.g., workmanship, ESD, space particles, supplier’s faults, etc.). Showed existence of unique functional/causal relationships between main FMMCs and technological features, which provide basis for effective and efficient focused CAPA/SQRIPT and “lessen learned” DB for various product families and applications. Revealed and substantiated ERF-tailored Juran’s rules, incl., key “~80% similarity” between ERF, manufacturing, R&D and normal life nonconformities. Discovered, substantiated and characterized several transition groups of previously considered uniform ERF/IM: normal-early, early, super early and instantaneous failures (NEF, EF, SEF, IF) thereby detailing/enriching a fundamental reliability bathtub curve. Developed three-stage systemic early FA (SEFA) methodology based on systematic comprehensive hierarchical ERF approach, which accommodates, stipulates and applies to all phases of product life cycle more general management systems: FRACAS, CAPA, TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, Kaizen, Markey vigilance, etc. Presented criteria, rules and recommendations for application depending on product/project/failure seriousness and specifics. Developed joint risk analysis FTA-FMECA-F7 technique, which significantly widens understanding of product’s quality and reliability problems The joint technique combines strengths of both FTA and FMECA and is considering not only faults and failures, but also fundamental features, functions factors and fixes into a logical, natural unified methodic approach (F7 concept). Defined and modeled several types on F7 interactions (matching, complementary and mixed); physics of (super)early (non)degradative; (i)reversible, (i)relevant total, parametric, intermittent and unbalanced ERF. Presented multifaceted ERF models of several common electronics technologies/phenomena: solder joints of PCB, Hybrids and microwire wound parts; parametric precision measuring devices and sensors/transducers; telephone’s dialing, AF and RF F7; chip-, assembly- and package-related InGaAsP optoelectronics; unbalanced/upset/erratic (i)reversible IF of high speed electronics, etc. Proposed and substantiated a new practical product/project-based P7 failure classification and three new stress test failure classes, which complement traditional failure classifications. The classification emphasizes different organizational nature, sources and scale of failures/losses and different ways of their addressing/tackling. Proposed FMMC-POF-RP based DIS-7 classification, which links ERF modes, mechanism and root cause with physics, signs, symptoms and typical P7 and F7. Revealed several specific classical as well as unconventional types of early non-Arrhenius and/or multi- parametric modified Arrhenius-Eyring- Zhurkov model behaviors (e.g., changing activation energy Ea and Ka of some complex compounds and alloys as well as a composition of Arrhenius parts). Managed to assess true changing Ea at different environmental temperature intervals and functional stresses strengthening inspections and testing. 3. Early SQRIPT Management: Numerous times utilized three-stage Systematic Comprehensive Hierarchical ERF analysis methodology and led interdisciplinary engineering FAB/task forces. Showed that systemic ERF analyses provide the most effective and efficient tools for rare combination of quality-reliability improvement associated with reduction of manufacturing losses, accelerated and smoothen R&D and its implementation; high profitability and customer delight. Substantiated, founded, equipped, trained personnel and led (a) RCA lab (9 professionals and comprehensive electrical, mechanical, physics and chemical, NDE and DPE analysis); (b) group of five RCA analysts; (c) experimental Hybrid ASIC manufacturing shop. Organized/rectified (re)qualifications of (a) InGaAsP LD, LED, PD per Telcordia 332/357/983; (b) broadband VLSI ASIC (re)qualifications per JEDEC 48/MIL 883; (c) test flight instrumentation per DOD, FAA-like and Boeing’s spec ((H)TOL, (H)ALT, (H)ASS, THB, ESS, ESD, LU, etc.). Organized/rectified/optimized supplier qualification, performance and monitoring for various product lines / companies / tasks. The above effectively and efficiently improved early SQRIPT, dramatically improved customer satisfaction, enhanced contracts and competitiveness concurrently with dramatic reduction of complaints, manufacturing and service losses, field returns, and maintenance costs and facilitated R&D.
