The reversible interactions of the gas with the surface of the sensing layer made of semiconducting metal-oxides are responsible for changes of sensor resistance which is usually used as a measure of sensor response. Semiconductor gas sensors are commercially available and applied in numerous gas detection systems. They are reliable, small, rugged and inexpensive. However, there are a few problems limiting the wider use of such sensors. Semiconductor gas sensor usually exhibits a low selectivity, a drift and low repeatability of the response, strong influence of temperature and moisture on sensor properties. Instability of operating temperature is one of the factors that influence sensors response and should be taken into consideration during real life measurements. In this work some experimental results demonstrating how ambient temperature affects sensor operating temperature are presented. An approach to stabilize sensor temperature by controlling sensor heater voltage have been proposed. All measurement are performed with dedicated measurement stand consisting of few bench measuring instruments.","PeriodicalId":329807,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference (EMPC) & Exhibition","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126828693","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 interaction design assumes that such a user looks at a specific item in the environment and thinks about the movement he wants to perform and the prosthetic arm performs certain action. The portable eye tracker was used to determine users point of regards in 3D space while EEG/EMG analysis allowed to send a reach, grab or reach'n'grab command to the processing unit. The data from the eye tracker allowed to position the arm with an accuracy up to 10 cm. The EEG was proved only to confirm certain action while the data acquired by the EMG module allowed for classification of different gestures (up to three gestures) by means of neural networks with an 84% accuracy. The overall interface allow navigation of the prosthetic arm in unobstructed 3D environment.","PeriodicalId":329807,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference (EMPC) & Exhibition","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114959079","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 strain sensor was composed of an array of pairs of n-and p-type strain gauges to determine the strains along two axes, the axis of ultrasonic motion and the axis perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. Au wire bonding was also investigated for comparison. The substrate temperature was changed from room temperature to 150°C. It is clearly observed that deformation of FAB is accelerated by elevating the substrate temperature. Most of the deformation of FAB is found to be completed within several milliseconds after the start of the bonding operation. For the case of Au FAB bonding, significant reduction of residual strain was observed at 150°C.","PeriodicalId":329807,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference (EMPC) & Exhibition","volume":"98 S9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132511411","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}

Impedance spectra have limited resolution and many different processes may overlap what could be the reason of obstructions in its proper later analysis. Up to date, there are three approaches to solve this problem: examining impedance spectra itself, fitting spectra with equivalent circuits, and calculating the distribution of relaxation times (DRT). The latter method does not require any model or further knowledge about the system. As a result of DRT calculation, a plot containing relatively narrow peaks related to relaxation process of measured system is obtained. Namely, the position of the peak is related to time constant of the process, while the area under the peak to relaxation resistance. The aim of this work is to test available fitting functions to calculate area under a peak for previously prepared model containing different equivalent circuit elements. Obtained results are validated using exact formulas describing distribution of relaxation times for mentioned elements.","PeriodicalId":329807,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference (EMPC) & Exhibition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130181463","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}

To provide of the small pitch of contacts screen printed gold thick films are laser structured with a picosecond laser ablation machine. Laser structured thick film contact pads have dimensions of 59 μm by 59 μm and laser drilled 50 μm vias are used to provide vertical electrical contacts to laser structured thick film lines on the inner layers. The internal structures are laser structured to provide a high line density. To demonstrate the usability of the laser structured contact pads for the chip assembly a silicon test chip is manufactured in thin film technology having gold pads with dimension of 60 microns by 60 microns. Gold stud bumps were placed on the chip pads using a thermosonic ball-wedge bonder and a 25 μm gold wire. The test chip is mounted on the laser structured surface of the LTCC by means of thermo-compression flip chip bonding. A daisy chain structure was realized on the surface of the test chip and on the LTCC to measure the electrical interconnections between the test chip and the LTCC package. The geometrical shape is measured by laser scanning microscopy (LSM). To ensure the functionality and to exclude internal failures (e.g. shorts) the samples are scanned with X-ray inspection.","PeriodicalId":329807,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference (EMPC) & Exhibition","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127713609","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}

Low sheet resistances can be obtained with used materials. However, there is a significant difference in adhesion level. By substrate surface pre-treatments, adhesion level can be improved, and tape test ink removal can be decreased even from 15% to 0%.
