I'm tutoring some Japanese students on how to write better failure analysis reports and respond to emails in English regarding these reports. To give them some practice I'd like to prep some situations to reply to. I'd appreciate if anyone familiar with this subject could provide me some examples.

Excessive input voltage causing a Base-Emitter short, base to collector open, thermal runaway, for the MOS FET break down of the gate insulation, and excessive reverse voltage failure would be quite common.

Besides what the answerer above, says...
One of the most common failures is (open) wire bond failure from the pin to the die.

the main problem with semiconductors compared to old fashion vacuum tubes is that they produce tremendous heat. so semiconductors need heat sink. without proper heat sink the excessive heat will either cause short circuit or open circuit.
