The results confirm the fact that cycle time reduction strategies need to be managed more effectively. The areas determined to be of greatest need and importance are organizational structure and development methodology. Recommended strategies include removal of barriers between functional groups, rigorous application of team building sessions, regular project updates, priority reviews for design, development, and manufacturing personnel, and delegating routine decisions to lower-level personnel. Training programs for manufacturing personnel should be made a high priority in the development phase, and rigorous requirements for technology transfer, including detailed documentation, are necessary to guarantee successful implementation of the new technology.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":206206,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 15th IEEE/CHMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130327690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method is simple, extremely useful and readily applicable to the empirical modeling of such complex plasma processes. In characterizing the SiO/sub 2/ films, it is found that the dominant film property is its impurity concentration. The impurity concentration dictates the refractive index and permittivity, two critical figures of merit when these films are used as interlayer dielectric and in optoelectronic applications. The most important parameters in determining the impurity concentration of the films are substrate temperature and pressure. Increasing the substrate temperature causes the impurity concentration to decrease. This drop in impurity concentration causes an increase in refractive index and a decrease in permittivity. Increasing pressure has almost the same effect, causing a decrease in permittivity.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":206206,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 15th IEEE/CHMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130916199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These assumptions are rapidly becoming invalid. MCM-D performance has emerged as foreseen, but at the same time prices for completed modules have fallen greatly. Economics of scale have allowed MCM-D manufacturers to take advantage of their technology by building products that only MCM-D line geometries and form factors make possible. In addition, any enabling technology - like 3-D memory or 3-D stacking of MCM's - for MCM-L will also be usable to equal or greater effect by MCM-D. MCM applications are continuing to follow long-term industry trends for higher performance, lower costs, and smaller form factors.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":206206,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 15th IEEE/CHMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114722314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inspecting skeletons should be sampled at variable intervals, rather than taking all the pixels of the skeletons, so that the accuracy and the comparison time may be compromised. These preliminary experiments are essential for the practical development of the system. It is demonstrated how the current system is improved from conventional ones in many aspects.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":206206,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 15th IEEE/CHMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"2006 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128890056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of aging on the microstructure of Sn-Bi solder joints are described. The results show that during aging, Sn is depleted from the solder/base metal interface. The two-phase Sn-Bi microstructure coarsens appreciably during aging. The rate of coarsening can be slowed by adding 1.0 wt% Cu to the solder. Aging also affects the mechanical properties of the solder joints in shear, where aged joints shown an increase in flow stress and plastic strain at failure. The creep properties of cast and aged Sn-Bi eutectic alloy at stresses between 0.5 and 65 MPa and temperatures between 30/spl deg/C and 120/spl deg/C are described. In the power law creep regime, cast Sn-Bi eutectic has a stress exponent of three and an activation energy of 0.6 eV.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":206206,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 15th IEEE/CHMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127563337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
