Abstract: Silicon is the primary semiconductor material used to fabricate microchips. The quality of microchips depends directly on the quality of starting silicon wafers. A series of processes are required ...

Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of four die-strength testing configurations using finite element analysis. The simulation indicates that ring-on-ring configuration is the best because it generates ...

Abstract: Advanced ceramics have found a variety of engineering applications, thanks to their superior properties (such as high hardness and strength at elevated temperatures; chemical inertness; high wear ...
