SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETECTION AND ANALYSIS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR CONDITION PREDICTION
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring an electronic component based on selecting a set of measurements, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying the set of measurements based on parameters related to the monitoring of the component;
performing the set of measurements to provide measurement data;
evaluating the measurement data to determine if any measurement from the set of measurements can be improved by providing data filtering and data correction; and
processing the measurement data for the set of measurements against a set of corresponding reference measurements to provide analysis of the monitoring.

Abstract
The invention described here enables in-operation, low-cost, non-invasive measurement of component performance and condition for assessing device longevity prediction, resilience and reliability. The non-invasive component measurements to be performed and subsequently evaluated are based on at least a set of physically unclonable functions and other measurements which can be error corrected, and the error correction factor and other measurements provides insight to the device condition. The system as well is adaptive and allows the introduction of new measurements across not only similar components but to include the family of components similarly fabricated.
