The International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS) is the world's premier forum for leading-edge research addressing developments in the Reliability Physics of devices, materials, circuits, and products. IRPS is the conference where emerging Reliability Physics challenges and possible solutions to achieve realistic End-of-Life projections are first discussed. This year, the IRPS will be held at Hilton Waikoloa Village, Waikoloa, HI, U.S.A. Scheduled for June 1-5, 2014, the IRPS will commence with two full days of tutorials and year-in-review on Sunday, June 1st and Monday, June 2nd.
The IRPS draws presentations and attendees from industry, academia and governmental agencies worldwide. No other meeting presents as much leading work in so many different areas of reliability of electronic devices, encompassing silicon device, non-silicon device, process technology, nanotechnology, optoelectronics, photovoltaic and MEMS technology.
For the IRPS 2014, we are emphasizing Electronic Systems reliability with sub-topics in consumer electronics reliability and design-for-reliability. We are also emphasizing chip-package interactions and advanced packaging reliability concerns.
IRPS 2014 will also feature increased participation in the fields of Advanced CMOS scaling, GaN, new materials introduction, new processes or integration strategies, and/or fundamentally new device architectures.

The conference will offer a full slate of tutorials, evening panel debates and workshops, invited plenary talks in addition to an outstanding technical program.
The hotel is located in Waikoloa Village on the Island of Hawaii (known as The Big Island). It has a wide variety of resort activities to choose from and is the perfect starting point to explore Hawaii Island, the Island of Adventure. At the Waikoloa resort, there are endless opportunities including interactive dolphin encounters, snorkeling, kayaking, and standup paddle boarding. Also, there are two championship golf courses within the Waikoloa Beach Resort. Several guided tours to Volcano National Park, Mauna Kea summit and Waipio Valley are available. You can view the video of the resort on IRPS website www.irps.org
IRPS consists of three days (Tues-Thurs, June 3-5) of plenary and parallel technical sessions presenting original, state-of-the-art work.
Other opportunities at the symposium include:
- Two-Day Tutorial Program (Sunday-Monday, June 1-2). The IRPS tutorial program is a comprehensive two-day event designed to help both the new engineer and experienced researcher. The tutorial program contains both beginner and expert tracks, and is broken down into topic areas that allow the attendee to participate in tutorials relevant to their work with a minimum of conflicts between subject areas.
