Silicon mechanism

Figure 2.11. The Au-Si diagram is an example of a simple eutectic system with complete mutual solubility in the liquid state and no (or negligible) solubility in the solid state at a temperature of 363°C the liquid having the composition of 18.6 at.% Si solidifies with the simultaneous crystallization of the practically pure gold and silicon mechanically mixed. In the Cr-U system a slightly more complex situation due to the solid-state transformations of uranium is shown.

Another view of the Si(lOO) etching mechanism has been proposed recently [28], Calculations have revealed that the most important step may actually be the escape of the bystander silicon atom, rather than SiBr2 desorption. In this way, the SiBr2 becomes trapped in a state that otherwise has a very short lifetime, pennitting many more desorption attempts. Prelimmary results suggest that indeed this vacancy-assisted desorption is the key step to etching Si(lOO) with Br2. 

Common alloying elements include nickel to improve low temperature mechanical properties chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium to improve elevated-temperature properties and silicon to improve properties at ordinary temperatures. Low alloy steels ate not used where corrosion is a prime factor and are usually considered separately from stainless steels. 

Properties of Dense Silicon Carbide. Properties of the SiC stmctural ceramics are shown in Table 1. These properties are for representative materials. Variations can exist within a given form depending on the manufacturer. Figure 2 shows the flexure strength of the SiC as a function of temperature. Sintered or sinter/HIP SiC is the preferred material for appHcations at temperatures over 1400°C and the Hquid-phase densified materials show best performance at low temperatures. The reaction-bonded form is utilized primarily for its ease of manufacture and not for superior mechanical properties. 

More than half of the elements in the Periodic Table react with silicon to form one or more silicides. The refractory metal and noble metal silicides ate used in the electronics industry. Silicon and ferrosilicon alloys have a wide range of applications in the iron and steel industries where they are used as inoculants to give significantly improved mechanical properties. Ferrosilicon alloys are also used as deoxidizers and as an economical source of silicon for steel and iron. 

Creep Resistsince. Studies on creep resistance of particulate reinforced composites seem to indicate that such composites are less creep resistant than are monolithic matrices. Silicon nitride reinforced with 40 vol % TiN has been found to have a higher creep rate and a reduced creep strength compared to that of unreinforced silicon nitride. Further reduction in properties have been observed with an increase in the volume fraction of particles and a decrease in the particle size (20). Similar results have been found for SiC particulate reinforced silicon nitride (64). Poor creep behavior has been attributed to the presence of glassy phases in the composite, and removal of these from the microstmcture may improve the high temperature mechanical properties (64). 

This computation is also referred to as calculating the zinc equivalent of the alloy. The increase in strength in this alloy series is caused by increased amounts of beta phase in the stmcture. The silicon brasses show similar hardening effects accompanying a second phase. Typical mechanical properties and electrical conductivity for various cast alloys are shown in Table 2. 

Silicon—Ca.rbon Thermoset. The Sycar resins of Hercules are sihcon—carbon thermosets cured through the hydrosilation of sihcon hydride and sihcon vinyl groups with a trace amount of platinum catalyst. The material is a fast-cure system (<15 min at 180°C) and shows low moisture absorption that outperforms conventional thermosets such as polyimides and epoxies. Furthermore, the Sycar material provides excellent mechanical and physical properties used in printed wiring board (PWB) laminates and encapsulants such as flow coatable or glob-top coating of chip-on-board type apphcations.

Bronzes are somewhat similar to brasses in mechanical properties and to high-zinc brasses in corrosion resistance (except that bronzes are not affected by stress cracking). Aluminum and silicon bronzes are very popiilar in the process industries because they combine good strength with corrosion resistance.

If Ihe main incoming male contacts are made ol aluminium alloy, which is normally a eompnsilioii of aluminium-magnesium and silicon, they must be provided wiili a coat of bron/e. copper and tin to give it an adequate mechanical hardness and resistance to corrosion. For more details refer to Section 27.2..5. 

Because of die rigidity and directionality of die covalent bonds die energies of self-diffusion have been found to be higher diaii diose of metals. In die case of silicon, it appears drat a furdier complication is drat an intersti-tialcy mechanism predominates above 1000°C. Below diis teiiiperamre, bodi elements appear to self-diffuse by atom-vacancy exchange as for die metals. 

In the sintering of such materials as silicon nindde, a silica-rich liquid phase is formed which remains in the sintered body as an intra-granular glass, but this phase, while leading to consolidation, can also lead to a deterioration in the high-temperature mechanical properties.
