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.

Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion II-Batteries, Capacitors and Fuel Cells: Volume 496


Book Description

Proceedings of a December 1997 symposium. Half of the 140 papers presented discuss various aspects of lithium batteries, especially modeling, synthesis, and processing of cathode materials. Other topics include rechargeable battery anode materials, intercalation and Li bonding sites, supercapacitors, the use of novel materials, new colloidal deposition techniques, and sol-gel processing procedures.

Materials Issues in Vacuum Microelectronics: Volume 509


Book Description

The 31 papers, about half of the symposium's presentations, were selected to provide a representative sampling of the present status of materials used in vacuum microelectronics. They range across all aspects of electron field emission from theory and physical mechanisms to device structure, but many focus on the fabrication, characterization, and modeling of electron emissive materials. The sections cover field-emitter arrays and applications, carbon and wide-bandgap cathodes, and other cathode materials. Reproduced from typescripts.

Applications of Synchrotron Radiation Techniques to Materials Science IV: Volume 524


Book Description

The 57 papers update the status of characterization techniques that use synchrotron radiation since the previous symposium on the subject in the spring of 1996. The techniques considered include X-ray absorption and scattering, imaging, tomography, microscopy, and topographic methods. Among the materials are surfaces, interfaces, electronic materials, metal oxides, solar cells, thin films, carbides, polymers, alloys, nanoparticles, and graphitic materials. Some of the papers are doubled spaced. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR




Chemical Aspects of Electronic Ceramics Processing: Volume 495


Book Description

Containing 65 papers from the symposium titled Chemical Aspects of Electronic Ceramics Processing held in November- December 1997 in Boston, the contents of this volume are divided into five sections: chemical vapor deposition of oxide ceramics; chemical vapor deposition of nonoxide ceramics; solution routes to ceramic materials; characterization and application of ceramic materials; and process characterization as a form of novel processing of ceramic materials.

Biomaterials Regulating Cell Function and Tissue Development: Volume 530


Book Description

Contains papers from an April 1998 symposium focusing on modification and characterization of both natural and synthetic materials to alter the human body's regenerative response. Coverage includes biomaterials in tissue engineering, controlling cell interactions with biomaterial chemistry or surface properties, and orthopedic applications of cell interactive biomaterials. Specific topics include a model for oxygen transport in microencapsulated islets, construction of biomimetic environments with a synthetic peptide analogue of collagen, and tailoring polymer surfaces for controlled cell behavior.
