Investigating the Sintering Process and Mechanical Properties of Nano-copper Particles Coupling Particle Packing Modeling with Molecular Dynamics Simulation

The nano-copper particles are widely used in the sintering processes of packaging wide bandgap semiconductors. Despite the significant success in the industry, the mechanism bridging the sintering process to the mechanical properties of sintered nano-copper is not yet well-modeled. In this paper, the impacts of different sintering temperatures...

Warpage deformation analysis of AMB ceramic substrates in power modules

Driven by the increasing demand for high-power systems, ceramic substrates have received more attention for handling higher power density. Warpage in active metal brazed (AMB) ceramic substrate becomes a critical issue as it can deteriorate the reliability performance. This study comprises three phases, including investigation of the cause of...

Nanoindentation characterization of sintered porous Cu nanoparticles used in power electronics packaging – A molecular dynamic simulation study

As a critical part of speeding up industrial electrification, power electronics, and its packaging technology are undergoing rapid development. Cu nanoparticle sintering technology has therefore received extensive attention for its excellent performance in the die-attachment layer, where the mechanical properties are essential to be known for...

AR-Assisted Assembly in Self-Build Construction with Discrete Components

The prevailing issue of low housing supply is caused in part by a lack of skilled construction workers. If unskilled residents were adequately equipped, they could potentially address this issue, expanding and adapting their homes without professional builders and designers. This research proposes the use of discrete components to build on...
