Using a laser local heating method, we have studied the local growth of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes grown in TSVs are sparse, intertwined and have a poor morphology; the reason for this is that TSVs' geometric sizes limit gases flows.

The ability of PANI to interact with H2O and CO2 with concomitant changes in the electronic and geometric properties of PANI makes it as potential sensor for CO2. Detection and monitoring of CO2 by quantum mechanical studies have been devoted to examine the sensitivity and selectivity of PANI at the molecular level. From quantum mechanics to explain the CO2 adsorption is quite important because CO2 in the greenhouse can be detrimental for plant growth and consequently productivity. Compared with traditional industrial sensors, polymer-based sensors for the agricultural exhibit several advantages such as working under extreme temperatures, pressures, and complex environment. However, the poor solubility of PANI and low chemical reactivity restricts its widespread application to a great extent. Introducing functional groups in PANI backbone is an effective method to improve the solubility, chemical reactivity and sensitivity of PANI, this method can increase the sensing properties of PANI and do not strongly impact the conductivity. Therefore, measurements of the adsorption energy and charge transfer for H2O and CO2 in emeraldine base PANI (EB-PANI) and undoped sodium sulfonated PANI (Na-SPANI) using first principles methods were investigated. Doping could greatly changing the sensing mechanism of conducting polymer, so not only the adsorption sites but also the functional group affecting the gas sensitive performance were studied. The adsorption energy and Mulliken charge analysis were obtained for EB-PANI and Na-SPANI to evaluate the sensing ability of them for analytes. Besides, we also combined molecular dynamics to calculate mean square displacement of CO2 in EB-PANI and Na-SPANI. We concluded that Na-SPANI has greater response toward H2O and CO2 than EB-PANI. So Na-SPANI can be used as sensing material for CO2 detection. This study provides a rational way using first principle simulation to evaluate and design PANI for the application of carbon dioxide sensor.","PeriodicalId":415934,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131360010","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}

ENIG has become a popular surface finish for pads of printed circuit boards (PCB) and ball grid array packages (BGA). However, the disadvantages of ENIG surface finish pads cannot be neglected. Compared with other surface finishes, such as organic surface protection (OSP) and hot air solder leveling (HASL), ENIG is always more expensive. Except for the high cost, another significant disadvantage of ENIG surface finish pads is related to the so called “black pad”, which may lead to bad wetting, including nonwetting and dewetting, as well as brittle solder joints. In this paper, the failure analysis on bad wetting of ENIG surface finish pads related to “black pad” is revealed with the aid of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy (XPS). Surface of bad wetting solder joints and nickel layer of bare PCB pads was analyzed with OM and SEM/EDS. The bad wetting area of the joints showed black through the inspection of OM. The result of SEM/EDS demonstrated that typical \"black pad\" morphology of nickel layer with \"mud crack\" appearance was found on the surface of both the bad wetting area of the solder joints and the nickel layer of bare PCB pads. Depth profiling analysis was performed on the bare PCB pad with XPS. The curve of phosphorus content showed a peak during the profiling process, which indicated a phosphorus rich layer in the gold/nickel coating. The phosphorus rich layer was resulted from the consumption and corrosion of nickel during the immersion gold plating process. Metallographic specimens of the bad wetting solder joint and the bare PCB pad were prepared and the cross sections were analyzed with SEM. Continuous IMC was formed at the interface between the PCB pad and solder. The thicknesses ofIMC layer of the solder joint at the pad side and at the component side were -0.3-0.7 J.1m and -1.8 J.1m, respectively, which are within a reasonable range. It indicates that the bad wetting was irrelevant to parameters during the soldering process. Spikes of the nickel layer were observed in the cross section of the bare PCB pad, which are in accordance to the \"mud crack\" morphology of black pad. The severe \"black pad\" defect degraded the solderability of the PCB pads, leading to the bad wetting of the solder joints eventually. Solderability test was performed on the bare PCB following the procedures of J-STD-003B, Test C1. Bad wetting and black pads were found after the solderability test as well, from which it can be inferred that the bad wetting was mainly related to the weak solderability of PCB pads and the \"black pad\" defect degraded the solderability of ENIG surface finish pads.","PeriodicalId":415934,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130130625","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 graphene has been attracted popular attention all over the world, because the two-dimensional crystal structure of graphene has a good mechanical, electrical properties etc. The graphene also has a great specific surface area, so it has a well adsorption capacity. The graphene is a zero-n gap semiconductor with no magnetism, however, the graphene will be magnetic if it adsorbed or doped with other materials even the band gap is opened. Therefore, the graphene has a promising future in nano electronic devices such as gas sensor. We compared the electronic structures and the magnetism between the pristine graphene and the gas molecule-adsorbed graphene through the first principle calculation. We have found that the different types of graphene have different electronic band structures. Most of the molecules adsorption on graphene can be weakly charged took as donor or acceptor. We discovered that the band gap and the adsorption energy is different when the gas molecules adsorped on the graphene with different number of layers. The different layers have different impacts on the adsorption of graphene.
