Some Basic Problems of the Mechanical Behavior and Design of Microelectronic and Fiber Optic Systems
03 October 1990
Some basic problems of the mechanical behavior and physical design of microelectronic and fiber-optic systems are identified, described, and analyzed. The following typical structural elements and joints encountered in these systems are addressed: 1)thermostat-like assemblies, including those with compliant attachments; 2)multilayer film structures employed in electronic temperature superconducting composites; 3) compliant-leaded packages, and 5)coated optical fibers subjected to thermal and/or external loading.
