  3. Chipkill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipkill

    Chipkill is frequently combined with dynamic bit-steering, so that if a chip fails (or has exceeded a threshold of bit errors), another, spare, memory chip is used to replace the failed chip. The concept is similar to that of RAID , which protects against disk failure, except that now the concept is applied to individual memory chips.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    In semiconductor devices, problems in the device package may cause failures due to contamination, mechanical stress of the device, or open or short circuits. Failures most commonly occur near the beginning and near the ending of the lifetime of the parts, resulting in the bathtub curve graph of failure rates.
