Study on Sintering Mechanism and Mechanical Properties of Nano-Cu based on Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Nano-metal materials sintering has received increasing attention in recent years for its promising performance in the wide bandgap semiconductor packaging. In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method were applied to simulate the nano-Cu sintering mechanism and the subsequent mechanical behavior. Hybrid sintering, comprising...

Genetic Algorithm–Assisted Design of Redistribution Layer Vias for a Fan-Out Panel-Level SiC MOSFET Power Module Packaging

A fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) with an embedded redistribution layer (RDL) via interconnection reduces the size, thermal resistance, and parasitic inductance of power module packaging. In this study, the effect of the RDL via size on the reliability of a FOPLP SiC MOSFET power module was investigated. To improve the thermal management...

A PoF and statistics combined reliability prediction for LED arrays in lamps

In this work, a physics-of-failure (PoF) reliability prediction methodology is combined with statistical models to consider the interaction between the lumen depreciation and catastrophic failures of LEDs. The current in each LED may redistribute when the catastrophic failure occurs in one of LEDs in an array, thus affecting the operation...

Investigating self-healing capacity of micro-cracked ECC with different volume of fly ash

Crack is called the intrinsic flaw of concrete that is inevitable for concrete infrastructures during their service life. The presence of crack offer aggressive agent access to pass through, which has a direct impact on durability, therefore resulting in shortened service life. Nevertheless, the influence of crack on the durability can be...

Interaction between microcapsules and cementitious matrix after cracking in a self-healing system

A new type of self-healing cementitious composites by using organic microcapsules is designed in Guangdong Key Laboratory of Durability for Coastal Civil Engineering, Shenzhen University. For the organic microcapsules, the shell material is urea formoldehyde (UF), and the core healing agent is Epoxy. The effect of organic microcapsules on...
