TL;DR: The proceedings of the MRS symposium on the mechanical behavior of materials and structures in microelectronics were discussed in this article, including the effects of plastic deformation on change transport in radiation detectors.
Abstract: This book covers the proceedings of the MRS symposium on the mechanical behavior of materials and structures in microelectronics. Topics include: mechanical modeling of stress generation during cure of encapsulating resins; preparation of Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu superconducting oxide films, a thermal expansion model for multiphase electronic packaging materials; and the effects of plastic deformation on change transport in radiation detectors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the plastic slip process in crystals is described by a continuum mechanics technique using models for the behaviour of dislocations, and new models are established for the mean glide path distance of dislaps during single slip and multiple slip and comparisons are made for the strain-hardening characteristics accompanying those models.
Abstract: The plastic slip process in crystals is described by a continuum mechanics technique using models for the behaviour of dislocations. Some new models are established for the mean glide path distance of dislocations during single slip and multiple slips and comparisons are made for the strain-hardening characteristics accompanying those models. The spontaneous transition in the deformation curve of single crystals from stage I to stage II is naturally introduced through models of the mean glide path distance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role and the attributes of, as well as the state-of-the-art and some major findings in the area of predictive analytical (mathematical) thermal stress modeling in electronic, opto-electronic, and photonic engineering.
Abstract: We discuss the role and the attributes of, as well as the state-of-the-art and some major findings in, the area of predictive analytical (“mathematical”) thermal stress modeling in electronic, opto-electronic, and photonic engineering. The emphasis is on packaging assemblies and structures and on simple meaningful practical models that can be (and actually have been) used in the mechanical (“physical”) design and reliability evaluations of electronic, opto-electronic, and photonic assemblies, structures, and systems. We indicate the role, objectives, attributes, merits, and shortcomings of analytical modeling and discuss its interaction with finite-element analysis (FEA) simulations and experimental techniques. Significant attention is devoted to the physics of the addressed problems and the rationale behind the described models. The addressed topics include (1) the pioneering Timoshenko’s analysis of bimetal thermostats and its extension for bimaterial assemblies of finite size and with consideration of the role of the bonding layer of finite compliance; this situation is typical for assemblies employed in electronics and photonics; (2) thermal stresses and strains in solder joints and interconnections; (3) attributes of the “global” and “local” thermal expansion (contraction) mismatch and the interaction of the induced stresses; (4) thermal stress in assemblies adhesively bonded at the ends and in assemblies (structural elements) with a low-modulus bonding layer at the ends (for lower interfacial stresses); (5) thin film systems; (6) thermal stress induced bow and bow-free assemblies subjected to the change in temperature; (7) predicted thermal stresses in, and the bow of, plastic packages of integrated circuit devices, with an emphasis on moisture-sensitive packages; (8) thermal stress in coated optical fibers and some other photonic structures; and (9) mechanical behavior of assemblies with thermally matched components (adherends). We formulate some general design recommendations for adhesively bonded or soldered assemblies subjected to thermal loading and indicate an incentive for a wider use of probabilistic methods in physical design for reliability of “high-technology” assemblies, including those subjected to thermal loading. Finally, we briefly address the role of thermal stress modeling in composite nanomaterials and nanostructures. It is concluded that analytical modeling should be used, whenever possible, along with computer-aided simulations (FEA) and accelerated life testing, in any significant engineering effort, when there is a need to analyze and design, in a fast, inexpensive, and insightful way, a viable, reliable, and cost-effective electronic, opto-electronic, or photonic assembly, package, or system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of analytical (mathematical) stress modeling and design for reliability problems in microelectronics and optoelectronics, focusing on analytical stress modelling and design.
Abstract: Some basic thermal stress and thermal stress related reliability problems in microelectronics (ME) and optoelectronics (OE) are addressed. The emphasis is on analytical (“mathematical”) stress modeling and design for reliability. The review is based primarily on the author's research conducted during his eighteen-year tenure with Bell Laboratories, Basic Research, Physical Sciences and Engineering Research Division, as well as on his recent research, based on government contracts.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt is made to study the two dimensional (2D) effective electron mass (EEM) in quantum wells (Qws), inversion layers (ILs) and NIPI superlattices of Kane type semiconductors in the presence of strong external photoexcitation on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion laws within the framework of k.p. formalism.
