SAN JOSE -- IBM Technology Group director Tim Collopy will keynote the IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium this year’.

IRPS will be held March 26 to 30, in San Jose.

Collopy’ will address adaptating reliability methodologies to market expectations and technology roadmaps. He asserts that fundamental reliability models and qualification methods have not changed in decades. In order to accommodate unique customer requirements (e.g., foundry) or industry standards, Collopy suggests enhanced quality processes and the stress, analysis and repair of new fail modes uncovered during new technology development.

The addition of feedback from the full spectrum of users to verify these models and methods allows for continuous improvement of quality processes, just as customers demand of microelectronic products and technologies.

Collopy joined IBM in 1974 and has served in his current position since 2001. He graduated the University of Missouri – Rolla with bachelor's degrees in mathematics and electrical engineering, and a master's in operations research, and has an MBA in plans and controls from Union College.

He has previously held management positions in process engineering, diagnostics and characterization, manufacturing engineering, reliability engineering and analytical services at IBM's East Fishkill, NY ,semiconductor facility.
