Surface deformations and thermal stress behavior of microelectronic devices that operate at cryogenic temperatures (less than 120 K) and under vacuum conditions are important phenomena that aff ect the reliability requirements of such components. Excessive deformation and thermal stress on these devices may result in interconnect failure, performance degradation or other direct mechanical failure of one or more components. To obtain reliable products, surface deformations, named as warpage most widely, and thermal stresses should be optimized. The sources of the warpage and thermal stresses are large di fferences between the operation and storage temperatures of such devices, and the existence of thermal mismatch caused by materials having di fferent thermal expansion coeffi cients. In this study, an experimental setup is utilized to measure out of plane surface deformations of integrated assemblies at cryogenic temperatures as well as at room temperature. The test setup is equipped with a phase shifting Fizeau laser interferometer system. To reach cryogenic temperatures liquid nitrogen is used. Four diff erent measurement error sources are de fined and contribution of each source is determined by experimental methods, analytical solutions or by using fi nite element analysis. Optical path change due to the di fference between optical window temperatures at the initial and fi nal states causes 61.3 nm di fference. Natural surface topology of optical window (BK7) changes the peak to valley (PV) di fference value of a sample by an amount of 27.2 nm. The e ffect of optical window tilt angle on PV is determined as 30 nm by testing the same sample at three diff erent optical window tilt angles. Finally the PV di fference of a sample caused by the det ection of the optical window related to pressure diff erence on top and bottom surfaces is determined as 15 nm. According to the results of a parametric fi nite element analysis on a ceramic-epoxy-silicon trimaterial assembly, a minimum warpage with a value of 0.13 u m exists for layer thicknesses of 1.27 mm ceramic, 0.075 mm epoxy and 0.1 mm silicon due to a temperature change between room temperature and 80 K whereas a maximum warpage of 20.60 um exists for layer thicknesses of 0.63 mm ceramic, 0.5 mm epoxy and 0.1 mm silicon. Moreover, it is observed that increasing the ceramic thickness or decreasing the silicon thickness by keeping other layer thicknesses constant decreases the warpage. A total number of eight samples with di fferent ceramic and silicon thicknesses are experimentally studied. In some cases, a whole fi eld fringe formation is not observed for the silicon surface because of excessive deformation of the sample. In these cases, a spherical bending is assumed and the radius of curvature value of the sample is determined at 80 K. An extrapolation of observed results is used to determine 80 K warpage value of such samples. The remaining sample results can be obtained directly from measurements. For the integrated structure that contains 0.1 mm thick silicon, successful warpage measurement could not be obtained even at room temperature due to excessive deformation of the sample. For all of the remaining seven cases, the diff erence between the fi nite element analysis and experimental results is within 12.0%.

A new approach to thin film evaporation modeling
Akkuş, Yigit; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2016-10-01)
Heat pipes which use phase change heat transfer mechanism and can carry large amounts of heat, are preferred in the cooling of high heat dissipating electronic components due to the fact that they are self-operating devices with ease of manufacturing for different geometries and ability of performance in micro-gravity applications. Heat pipes having rectangular micro channels as wick structure are used in many studies because of the relative ease of developing analytical and numerical solutions to problems ...
A model of liquid flow on the condensation fin top-groove corner of a micro-grooved heat pipe
Akdağ, Osman; Akkuş, Yiğit; Dursunkaya, Zafer (null; 2017-06-01)
Heat pipes, which use the phase change heat transfer mechanism, are widely used in various terrestrial , aviation and space applications due to their capability of carrying large amounts of heat with a small temperature difference. The working loop of a heat pipe includes condensation, capillary flow of the condensate, evaporation and cross flow of the vapor. Accurate modeling of each of these phenomena is crucial to estimate the overall performance of a heat pipe. The condensation phenomenon is the least s...
An instrument for the high temperature measurement of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity
GÜNEŞ, Murat; Parlak, Mehmet; Ozenbas, Macit (IOP Publishing, 2014-05-01)
A system for the simultaneous measurement of thermoelectric power and resistivity of one and/ or two samples over a temperature range of 300-1000 K in a vacuum chamber is designed and implemented. A sample probe is developed to provide its easy mounting and usage. In addition, two samples can be measured at the same time. Measurement accuracy has been enhanced by beadless thermocouples and micro-heaters that are specifically designed in order to minimize the 'cold-finger effect' and to eliminate some possib...
Frequency Modulated Raman Spectroscopy
Greco, Silvio; Dal Zilio, Simone; Bek, Alpan; Lazzarino, Marco; Naumenko, Denys (2018-02-01)
The coupling of plasmonic and mechanical properties at the nanoscale is of great potential for the development of next generation devices capable to detect weak forces, mass changes, minute displacements and temperature induced effects. Both the transduction of mechanical motion to the scattered light fields in term of polarization or intensity modulation and plasmon-driven mechanical oscillations have already been demonstrated. Quasi static tunable hot spots have recently been designed and applied to surfa...

Sezgin, Berna; Caglayan, Dilara Gulcin; DEVRİM, YILSER; Steenberg, Thomas; Eroğlu, İnci (2016-06-22)
The objective of this study is to observe the effect of the critical design parameters, velocities of inlet gases (hydrogen and air) and the conductivity of polymer membrane, on the performance of a high temperature PEM fuel cell. A consistent and systematic mathematical model is developed in order to study the effect of these parameters. The model is applied to an isothermal, steady state, three-dimensional PEM fuel cell in order to observe concentration profiles, current density profiles and polarization ...
