Abstract
This paper shows how expressions for failure mechanisms may be derived and related to device reliability. The necessary conditions and limitations of such relations are examined, and their applicability to practical device reliability problems is assessed. The role of the reliability physicist in furnishing needed information and understanding at the mechanism level is indicated.
