Outgassing of hazardous substances, oxidation, diffusion processes are influencing availability and life cycle of electronic components directly.
Aging of electronic components
Coming to the aspect of aging mechanisms, the conventional storage technologies are insufficient to prevent the ultimate causes of the aging processes.
Outgassing of hazardous substances and oxidation, internal and external self-diffusion processes, whisker growth, losses of data and capacity are the consequences influencing availability and life cycle of electronic components directly. The following pages will give an overview of the cause-and-effect chain more detailed.
