Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLead Free Solder Joint Thermal Condition in Semiconductor PackagingM. Najib Harif, Allina Nadzri, Kamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: Solder joints are responsible for both electrical and mechanical connections. Solder does not have adequate ductility to ensure the repeated relative displacements due to the mismatch between expansion coefficients of the chip carrier and the circuit board. Solder material plays a crucial role to provide the necessary electrical and mechanical interconnections in an electronic assembly. Finding a technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLow Cost Smart Sensor DesignTakialddin A. Al SmadiProblem statement: Sensor with local processing power that enables it to react to local conditions without having to refer back to the central controller. The size and the cost of smart sensor circuit have been reduced. Approach: The use of microcontroller, such as (PIC16C715), with an 8-bit ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter) in one chip. This reduction in the circuit … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2016 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasurement of Ground Level Ozone at Different LocationsYasmen A. Mustafa, Sinan J. MohammedProblem statement: Ground level ozone is the most important index substance of photochemical smog. Photochemical smog is now observed in many urban and industrial centers around the world and it has become a common phenomenon in many large cities. Ozone is a most harmful pollutant for humans, in addition it plays an important role in damaging vegetation and materials.
