Electronic Packaging Materials Science X: Volume 515


Book Description

Proceedings of the April 1998 symposium, which focused on high-density package solutions, with an emphasis on flip-chip technology. Topics include interfacial adhesion behavior, flip-chip interconnections, high-density substrates, thermomechanical behavior, and packaging reliability issues. Articles address the fracture of polymer interfaces and the delamination tendencies seen with flip-chip interconnections on organic substrates, under-bump metallurgy issues, and overall reliability issues.

Molecular Modeling and Multiscaling Issues for Electronic Material Applications


Book Description

This book offers readers a snapshot of the progression of molecular modeling in the electronics industry and how molecular modeling is currently being used to understand materials to solve relevant issues in this field. The reader is introduced to the evolving role of molecular modeling, especially seen from the perspective of the IEEE community and modeling in electronics. This book also covers the aspects of molecular modeling needed to understand the relationship between structures and mechanical performance of materials. The authors also discuss the transitional topic of multiscale modeling and recent developments on the atomistic scale and current attempts to reach the submicron scale, as well as the role that quantum mechanics can play in performance prediction.




Composite Materials


Book Description

Composite Materials is a modern reference book, tutorial in style, covering functions of composites relating to applications in electronic packaging, thermal management, smart structures and other timely technologies rarely covered in existing books on composites. It also treats materials with polymer, metal, cement, carbon and ceramics matrices, contrasting with others that emphasise polymer-matrix composites. This functional approach will be useful to both practitioners and students. A good selection of example problems, solutions and figures, together with a new and vibrant approach, provides a valuable reference source for all engineers working with composite materials.

Nanostructured Powders and Their Industrial Applications


Book Description

Industrial and academic researchers describe their experience with synthesizing and using such powders as fumed silica, pyrolytic titania, precipitated silica, and less conventional species such as exfoliated clays. Of the 38 papers, the first four provide an overview and the rest focus on physical aspects, synthesis, and applications. Topics of invited papers include drying nano-size materials, synthesis by a room-temperature aerosol process, and gel mineralization as a model for bone formation.
