The solder joint between the ceramic substrate and the copper base plate is of critical importance to the reliability of the power module. An improvement of the fatigue life of the solder joint is essential to achieve a reliable module. The development of a new assembly technology for the power module improves the fatigue life of solder joints between the ceramic substrate and the copper base plate. The effect of the solder thickness on the fatigue life has been investigated with the elasto-plastic finite element analyses and experiments. The principal factor was the minimum thickness of solder, not the average thickness. The tilt of the substrate caused the solder thickness to become small partially. So the key technology to improve the fatigue life of the solder joint is to prevent the tilt of the substrate, and to control the solder thickness in high-precision level. The technique of setting spacers on the soldering area of the substrate has been examined, and the wire bump technique has been newly developed. In this technique, some small spacers called the wire bump are stitch-bonded near the comers using the aluminum bonding wire.

A blend of two conjugated polymers with different optical band gaps anddifferent triplet exciton (TE) magnetic resonance features was studied by means of photoinduced absorption (PA) and photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance. From the latter we find that a reduction of TE’s on either of the two polymers enhances the radiative singlet exciton (SE) decay on both polymers nearly identically. The PA results rule out other possible mechanisms to yield this signal, except one: a long-range SE-TE annihilation due to a dipole-dipole transfer mechanism. Based on this finding, we calculate the transferradius and quantify the annihilation process for this system and for other conjugated polymers.

The effects of CF4 addition to O2 reactive ion etching (rIE) of a polyetherimide ( Ultem®) surface andresultant via contact resistance were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray electron spectroscopy (XPS), and cross bridge Kelvin resistor (CBKr). In pure O2 rIE, the SEM micrograph showed that the originally smooth Ultem surface became rough and the rough features coarsened with increasing rIE time, resulting in residual particles on the metal pads. However, in the case of O2+CF4 rIE, the Ultem surface remained smooth throughout the etching process, andresidue free metal pads were obtained. The XPS experiments identified that the origin of the Ultem surface roughening was organo-Si compound, which is easily converted to silicon oxide during O2 rIE. In contrast, the atomic fluorine in O2+CF4 rIE process etched out the silicon and the silicon oxide, resulting in smooth film surface andresidue free metal pads. The metal to metal via contact resistance was measured by CBKr, and the pattern fabricated by O2+CF4 rIE showed lower contact resistance than those by O2 rIE. These results are discussed in the criterion of contact area and contact conformality differences.

The radiated emission from ground bouncing and transmission lines have been analyzed using the finite difference time domain (FdTd) and SPICE hybrid method. This method can consider both the nonlinear electric characteristics of IC and the distributed parameters of printed circuit boards (PCB). The computedresults of the electric field at 3 m from the PCB were validated by the measurements. The hybrid tool allows calculation of the noise spectrum andradiation pattern. Another advantage is that this method can separate the contributions of various noise sources. This analysis tool and methodology is useful to design transmission lines and power/ground planes in PCB.

Easy, convenient and accurate optical component coupling methods have been proposed using self-written waveguides. The effect of this unique method is systematically studied here for two faced multi-mode optical fibers with various gaps. The optical fiber coupling is easily attained and the coupling loss significantly decreases after self-written waveguide formation even with a extended gap, more than 1000 /spl mu/m; the results clearly show that such self-written waveguide coupling is very effective; the waveguides act as "optical solder" in a gap between two optical components. All-solid type self-written waveguide formation and multichannel waveguide formation/connection are also successfully demonstrated; these results expand the application of self-written waveguides in future practical use. Unique, icicle shaped self-written waveguide formation is also described.

The self-written waveguide is a possible solution to improving the alignment of optical connections. By introducing light from an optical fibre edge to a photosensitive medium, an optical waveguide easily forms under the condition that the refractive index of the exposed medium increases; it gives a hybrid optical component composed of an optical fibre and an optical waveguide without any alignment adjustment. The method is described and experimental results given for multi-mode fibre (MMF) coupling. Self-written waveguides were successfully formed in the gap between two MMFs; the coupling loss was about 0.6 dB for a 500 /spl mu/m gap.

An automotive suspension system consists of various elements that cause friction, and this sometimes plays a critical role in determining the overall vehicle response and behaviour, especially with regard to very small amounts of suspension travel represented by vertical „boulevard jerk“(2~6Hz) and „rumble“(8~20Hz). The authors have attempted to improve the accuracy of the simulation for a vehicle’s ride comfort.

Summary form only given. How we can overcome the trade-off between the magnitude of nonlinearity andresponse time of semiconductors is a challenging problem because a resonant excitation for large nonlinearity usually induces a long decay time. recently, a large enhancement of the degenerate-four-wave mixing (dFWM) for GaAs thin films has been observed for a particular thickness (110 nm). As theoretically predicted, this is due to the resonant enhancement of the internal field with a nano-scale spatial pattern. In this paper, we elucidate that this enhancedresponse also shows very fast decay, by means of time-resolved measurements of the three beam dFWM and nonlocal transient response theory.
