Although many methodologies for predicting the reliability of electronic components have been developed, their reliability
might be subjective according to a particular set of circumstances, and therefore it is not easy to quantify their reliability.
Among the reliability prediction methods are the statistical analysis based method, the similarity analysis method based on
an external failure rate database, and the method based on the physics-of-failure model. In this study, we developed a system
by which the reliability of electronic components can be predicted by creating a system for the statistical analysis method
of predicting reliability most easily. The failure rate models that were applied are MILHDBK-217F N2, PRISM, and Telcordia
(Bellcore), and these were compared with the general purpose system in order to validate the effectiveness of the developed
system. Being able to predict the reliability of electronic components from the stage of design, the system that we have developed
is expected to contribute to enhancing the reliability of electronic components.
