Thickness of bond

In a typical case where a silicon IC is attached to an alumina ceramic substrate that, in turn, is attached to the inside of a metal or ceramic package, the two epoxy interfaces can easily contribute 2.5 °C/watt to the total resistance. However, some silver-filled epoxies are reported to have high thermal conductivities, thus contributing 0.6 °C to 1 °C/watt. Actual measurements may differ considerably from calculated values because of reported thermal conductivities that differ from the actual, differences in the thicknesses of bond lines, voids in the adhesive, and incomplete mating of surfaces. Further in the analysis, the effects of lateral flow of heat and interactions of heat flow among adjacent components are often neglected.

Column—A 60 m x 0.54 mm ID fused silica open tubular column containing a 5 pm film thickness of bonded methyl silicone liquid phase is used. The column shall provide retention and resolution characteristics as listed in Table 2 and illustrated in Figure 1. The column will also demonstrate a sufficiently low liquid phase bleed at high temperature such that no loss of the SCD sulfur response is encountered while operating the column at 200 C. 

Column—A 60-m by 0.25-mm inside diameter fused silica open tubular column containing a 1.0-pm film thickness of bonded methyl silicone liquid phase is used. Equiva-... 

PVDF film is readily commercially available in thicknesses up to 110 pm. If film of this thickness is bonded to a rigid substrate, the peak response is at a frequency of about 3.7 MHz which corresponds to the thickness of the layer being a quarter wavelength. This frequency is rather high for most Lamb wave testing since Fig 1 shows that even on a I mm thick...

Nonwoven bonding processes iatedock webs or layers of fibers, filaments, or yams by mechanical, chemical, or thermal means. The extent of bonding is a significant factor ia determining fabric strength, dexibiUty, porosity, density, loft, and thickness. Bonding is normally a sequential operation performed ia tandem with web formation, but it is also carried out as a separate and distinct operation. 

The last technique commonly employed to deposit metals for compound semiconductors is electroplating (150). This technique is usually used where very thick metal layers are desired for very low resistance interconnects or for thick wire bond pads. Another common use of this technique is in the formation of air-bridged interconnects (150), which are popular for high speed electronic and optoelectronic circuits. 

Plastic laminated sheets produced in 1913 led to the formation of the Formica Products Company and the commercial introduction, in 1931, of decorative laminates consisting of a urea—formaldehyde surface on an unrefined (kraft) paper core impregnated with phenoHc resin and compressed and heated between poHshed steel platens (8,10). The decorative surface laminates are usually about 1.6 mm thick and bonded to wood (a natural composite), plywood (another laminate), or particle board (a particulate composite). Since 1937, the surface layer of most decorative laminates has been fabricated with melamine—formaldehyde, which can be prepared with mineral fiUers, thus offering improved heat and moisture resistance and allowing a wide range of decorative effects (10,11). 

Perhaps the most useful application of ISS stems from its ability to monitor very precisely the concentration and thickness of contaminants on metals during development of optimum processing and cleaning operations. One particularly important application involves quantitatively monitoring total carbon on cleaned steels before paint coating. This has been usefid in helping to develop optimum bond... 

Fitzpatrick et al. [41] used small-spot XPS to determine the failure mechanism of adhesively bonded, phosphated hot-dipped galvanized steel (HDGS) upon exposure to a humid environment. Substrates were prepared by applying a phosphate conversion coating and then a chromate rinse to HDGS. Lap joints were prepared from substrates having dimensions of 110 x 20 x 1.2 mm using a polybutadiene (PBD) adhesive with a bond line thickness of 250 p,m. The Joints were exposed to 95% RH at 35 C for 12 months and then pulled to failure.
