Copper Nanoparticle Sintering Enabled Hermetic Packaging With Fine Sealing Ring for MEMS Application

Driving by the increased demand for hermetic packaging in the more than Moore (MtM) roadmap, a Cu nanoparticle sintering-enabled hermetic sealing solution was developed with a small-size sealing ring. The developed technology simplifies microfabrication and requires less surface roughness using a sinterable Cu nanoparticle paste. A 50μm size...

Exchange Flow of Oil and Sea-Water in a Ruptured Submarine Pipeline

The rupture of a submarine oil pipeline starts var10US mechanisms leading to an oil spill. Among these mechanisms the leakage of oil driven by the difference in specific gravities of oil and seawater is difficult to quantify. A simple mathematical model has been developed and laboratory experiments have been carried out to obtain an insight into...
