Abstract : 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.
