However, it’s also a diverse combination of electronics and materials analysis. Because no existing society was suited to meet the specific needs of our technical community, scientists and engineers who perform failure analysis on electronic devices have never enjoyed representation in terms of a dedicated, focused society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">In 1998, considerable effort by the Steering Committee of the International Symposium for Testing and Failure Analysis (ISTFA) resulted in a recommendation to the ASM Board of Trustees: that a new ASM Affiliate Society be chartered to serve the specific needs of the electronic device failure analysis community. Hence, the ASM Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society, or EDFAS, was formed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">What’s included in membership in EDFAS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">In a nutshell, your membership includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\n<li>A subscription to the society’s newsletter, Electronic Device Failure Analysis (EDFA)<\/li>\n<li>The EDFAS website, which helps members to share ideas through discussion groups with other members, correspondence via e-mail.<\/li>\n<li>Special pricing when registering for the ISTFA conference and exposition in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Members-only discounts and savings on publications, software, and educational courses.<\/li>\n<li>Many personal service opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>I am already a member of ASM, and am interested in joining EDFAS.

Your input in these areas will help us to serve you better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">What is the connection with ISTFA?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">ASM’s relationship with electronics failure analysis dates back two decades to its sponsorship of the International Symposium for Testing and Failure Analysis (ISTFA). As this event grew and failure analysis became a more integral part of the electronics business, ASM became increasingly interested in expanding its role in serving the failure analysis community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">Many ISTFA volunteers saw the need for an improved structure to better utilize the skills of the failure analysis community to continue the growth and improvement in the ISTFA symposium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">I attended the ISTFA conference, do I become a member automatically?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">No\u2014 Anyone who is not a member of EDFAS and who is registered as a non-member for ISTFA will <\/span>have the option to register AND join at the same time.\u00a0 By selecting this option, the registration and membership are bundled and will generate a single invoice showing registration to the conference.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">For more information, contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">ASM Member Service Center<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">Materials Park, Ohio 44073-0002<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">Phone: 440.338.5151, ext. 0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">Fax:440.338.4634<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">Email: <\/span><a style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\" href=\"mailto:memberservicecenter@asminternational.org\">memberservicecenter@asminternational.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About EDFAS Why develop an affiliate society for electronic device failure analysis?
