Superhydrophobic surfaces combine roughness features with low surface energy to create materials with substantially decreased wettability and, subsequently, reduced hydrodynamic drag. Thus, they represent a promising technology for reducing microchannel flow resistance; a major technical issue in microfluidic systems. In there, however, limits to the pressure a superhydrophobic surface can support before irreversible wetting transition occurs, leading to a loss of the drag-reducing effect. Of greater importance are preliminary observations that, even before a superhydrophobic surface wets irreversibly, the drag reduction over a superhydrophobic surface may be compromised by subtle changes in the three-phase contact line position. The positive impact of micro-geometries on heat transfer is well known. Coupling this phenomenon with superhydrophobic surfaces to reduce flow resistance, could represent a significant step forward in areas such as electronics cooling. However, theoretical models of superhydrophobic surfaces are complex due to the requirement for high resolution on multiple scales. This paper aims to present current results and discuss issues in implementing superhydrophobic surfaces, specifically nano-structured posts, in a microchannel","PeriodicalId":60796,"journal":{"name":"微纳电子与智能制造","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77143354","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}

It is necessary to understand the mechanical properties of epoxy materials at a fundamental level as a guide in the experimental design of epoxy resin for high reliability. Molecular modeling is widespread in its usage and has been used to investigate the mechanical properties of polymer at the molecular level, including the investigation of the Tg. The present study is focused on the material properties of the cured epoxy resin. MD model of the epoxy was built using the amorphous module. MD simulations were carried out starting at 225degC under a pressure of 0.1Mpa using the ensembles of the constant number of particles, constant-pressure and constant temperature (NPT). Temperature was lowered to room temperature at a rate of 10 degC/200ps. Each subsequent simulation was started from the final configuration obtained at the preceding temperature. Non-bond interactions cut-off distance of 1.5 nm with a smooth switching function was used in all simulations. The simulation in each case study was performed with an interval of 1 femto second (fs) in each MD simulation step. Density of the epoxy at each temperature was calculated from the average specific volume. Tg was estimated based on the discontinuity in the slope of the density-temperature plot. The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient was obtained from the relation of the variation of the volume and temperature. The corresponding linear thermal expansion coefficient of the epoxy can be calculated. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the epoxy can also be obtained from MD simulations. The predicted values of these mechanical properties are close to the experimental values","PeriodicalId":60796,"journal":{"name":"微纳电子与智能制造","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80691772","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}

For handheld electronic products, particular concern has raised over solder joint fracture induced by drop impact. Existing test methods used to evaluate solder ball attachment, shear and pull test, thus far have not been considered suitable for the evaluation of shock reliability, due to their inability to simulate the high strain rate deformation, which characterizes impact loading. Recently, pull test equipment enabling high speed testing has become commercially available, thus calling for further study to assess its applicability for the measurement of joint strength under dynamic load conditions. In this paper, board level drop test and component level pull test results are reported and compared for different BGA assembly alloys and reflow cycle. Pull testing is performed at different test speed on BGA lead-free solder joints after reflow and after thermal ageing in order to investigate the correlation between failure analysis results and lead-free joints micro structural evolution. High-speed pull testing of solder joints is shown to be a promising test methodology for the evaluation of solder joints brittle fracture resistance. Moreover, high speed pull test results are shown to qualitatively correlate with drop test performance if the failure mode is taken as criterion","PeriodicalId":60796,"journal":{"name":"微纳电子与智能制造","volume":"124 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79636744","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}
