While this book continues the spirit of the MRS series on materials science related to the development of electronic packaging, it also focuses on three very specific technological areas - technology for flip-chip packaging, materials metrology and characterization, and packaging reliability and testing. These are important areas for technology development in electronic packaging, particularly since materials and processing play an important role in controlling system performance and reliability. Topics include: flip-chip and solder technology; future packaging technology; manufacturing technology in packaging; packaging materials and metrology; interfacial adhesion and fracture and packaging reliability and testing.

Materials are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide engineering undergraduates with the fundamental concepts of materials science, including crystal structures, imperfections, phase diagrams, materials processing, and materials properties. Few, however, offer the practical, applications-oriented background that their stud

A selection of 33 reviewed papers explore the materials aspects of microsystems, especially those involving mechanical, optical, and thermal components. The topics include technology for micro- assembling, selective electroless copper metallization of epoxy substrates, an improved auto-adhesion measurement method for micro-machines polysilicon beams, patterned sol-gel structures by micro-molding in capillaries, the experimental analysis of the process of anodic bonding using an evaporated glass layer, the effect of inorganic thin film material processing and properties on stress in silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors, and photoconductivity in vacuum-deposited films of silicon-based polymers.

The pervasive role of defects in determining the thermal, mechanical, electrical, optical and magnetic properties of materials is significant as is the knowledge and operation of generation and control of defects in electronic materials. Developing novel semiconductor materials, however, requires new insights into the role of defects to achieve new properties. New experimental techniques must be developed to study defects in small structures. Research groups come together in this book from MRS to provide a vivid picture of the current problems, progress and methods in defect studies in electronic materials. Topics include new techniques in defect studies; processing induced defects, plasma-induced point defects; processing induced defects -defects and gate-oxide integrity; point defects and reaction; point defects and interactions in Si; impurity diffusion and hydrogen in Si; dislocations in group IV semiconductors; point defects and defect interactions in SiGe; point defects in III-V compounds; compensation and structural defects in III-V compounds and layers and structures.

Successful transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experimentation depends on many things, one being specimen preparation. Whereas TEM samples of bulk metallic or ceramic materials can be prepared in a straightforward manner, the need to examine nonbulk and/or other classes of materials creates a need for more specialized preparation methods. This book from MRS, the fourth in a successful series, pioneers novel methods or ways of characterizing the specimen preparation process. Contributions to the book are tutorial in nature, and therefore somewhat longer than usual. Papers cover both general and materials-specific specimen preparation methods. Metallic, polymer, plastic, semiconducting, ceramic and magnetic materials as found in bulk, thin-film, dispersed and powdered forms are discussed.
