Therefore, many researchers have been emulated the biological neural networks for applying similar control to small size robots. We are studying artificial neural networks for the purpose of controlling a small size robot without using software programs. Previously, we have constructed two types of insect type microrobot which could locomote by using their legs. The microrobot could locomote by using a link mechanism with a minimum number of small size actuators. In this paper, we will discuss a neural networks integrated circuit (IC) which can generate the locomotion rhythms for the microrobot. The neural networks IC consists of the pulse-type hardware neuron model which can generate oscillating electrical activity. In addition, we construct the locomotion rhythm generator using neural networks IC and peripheral circuits to generate the driving waveform for the actuator. Neural networks IC and peripheral circuits are mounted on the small size circuit board. As a result, our constructed locomotion rhythm generator can generate the driving waveform to locomote the microrobot without using software programs.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"929 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123060907","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 potential advantages of laser debonding are (i) the realization of ultra-thin wafer releasing with less stress as compared to the conventional thermal and chemical debonding methods, and (ii) no adhesive residues were left on the thinned wafer surface owing to their excellent solubility in solvents. The edge-trimming width and depth for Si before temporary bonding and the temporary bonding parameters using thermo-plastic adhesives were carefully investigated and optimized, in order to avoid any undesirable effects in background thin wafers. Through-Si-Vias with a diameter of 5-15 μm were formed by masking the via patterns (using i-line, back-side-alignment) on the SiO2 surface of the back-ground side of 30 - 50 μm-thick LSI wafer that was temporarily bonded to the support glass, followed by selective deep-reactive-ion-etching of SiO2, Si, and bottom SiO2, and subsequently barrier and seed layers deposition and via filling. Using laser debonding technique, the thinned Si wafers with Cu-vias were transferred to the other glass with different temporary adhesive. The observed low resistance values from the I-V data for 5000 Cu-via daisy chain reveals that the proposed back-via 3D integration using laser debonding is now ready for industrial use.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116817253","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}

However, the precise resistivity was not always published up to now. In order to obtain accurate resistivity, we have developed a new TEG(Test Element Group) pattern and its manufacturing process.

LED bulb is one of the LED usages and this is a replacement for conventional indoor lighting such as incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent lamps. LED bulbs have advantages such as long life and low power consumption compared to other light sources. However volume of LED chip is small and the amount of heat generation per area is becoming large. That causes degradation of LED chips because of high temperature. Therefore, thermal design is important for LED bulbs and other LED devices. The thermal design of the LED must take into account various parameters, for example thermal conductivity, area and thickness of the substrate of the LED and heat transfer coefficient around the LED. However, there are no guidelines for thermal design of the LED, and reliability of the LED is depending on thermal designers. This work aims to propose a guideline of thermal design of the LED. In this paper, as the first step of the guideline, simple temperature prediction method for the LED was discussed. Thermal network model was employed as the simple method. To verify an appropriate simple temperature prediction method with thermal network model, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was conducted and important points for making thermal network model are discussed. As a result, it was found that a key point for making a simple temperature prediction model of the LED is how to estimate the heat flow in in-plane direction and thickness plane direction of the substrate simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126355244","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}
