Large Container

The emerging global economic needs are driving the designs for the next generation of ocean going vessels. Current ultra-large container carrier (10,000 TEU plus) designs are considerably larger and more complex than any currently in service. Proper and rational classification assessment requires that first principles based direct calculation methods be used to augment the standard classification review. The design philosophy behind the ABS Dynamic Loading Approach enables comprehensive identification of potential failure mechanisms. The scope of the necessary engineering assessment encompass full-ship finite element analysis under non-linear sea loads, spectral fatigue analysis, finite element lashing analysis, free and forced vibration analysis, and transient and impact load analysis. This paper describes key aspects of the DLA design philosophy such as non-linear sea loads, load combinations, various applications derived from full-ship finite element analysis. Several examples are given to highlight some critical failure mechanisms to be considered for ultra-large container carriers.

Gold Thin Film

Gold thin film metallizations in microelectronic circuits have a distinct advantage over those consisting of aluminum because they are less susceptible to electromigration. When electromigration is no longer the principal failure mechanism, other failure mechanisms caused by d.c. stressing might become important. In gold thin-film metallizations, grain boundary grooving is the principal failure mechanism.Previous studies have shown that grain boundary grooving in gold films can be prevented by an indium underlay between the substrate and gold. The beneficial effect of the In/Au composite film is mainly due to roughening of the surface of the gold films, redistribution of indium on the gold films and formation of In2O3 on the free surface and along the grain boundaries of the gold films during air annealing.

Dynamic Plane

An understanding of the mechanical behavior polymers in the ductile-brittle transition region will result in materials with improved properties. A technique has been developed that allows the realtime observation of dynamic plane stress failure mechanisms in the transmission electron microscope. With the addition of a cryo-tensile stage, this technique has been extented to -173°C, allowing the observation of deformation during the ductile-brittle transition.The technique makes use of an annealed copper cartridge in which a thin section of bulk polymer specimen is bonded and plastically deformed in tension in the TEM using a screw-driven tensile stage. In contrast to previous deformation studies on solvent-cast films, this technique can examine the frozen-in morphology of a molded part.The deformation behavior of polypropylene and polypropylene impact modified with EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene modified) and PE (polyethylene) rubbers were investigated as function of temperature and the molecular weight of the impact modifier.

Abstract Trends in the packaging of semiconductors are towards miniaturization and high functionality. The package-on-package(PoP) with increasing demands is beneficial in cost and space saving. The main failure mechanisms associated with PoP technology, including open joints and warpage, have created a lot of challenges for Assembly and Failure Analysis (FA). This paper outlines the sample preparation process steps to overcome the challenges to enable successful failure analysis and optical probing.

Abstract We report an analysis of a single shared column fail on DRAM technology using a nano-probing technique in this work. The electrical characteristics of the failed transistors show that the column fails were caused by two different failure mechanisms: abnormal contact and implant profiles. We believe that electrical analysis using nano-probing will be a powerful tool for non-visible failure analysis in the future because it is impossible to clearly reveal these two different failure mechanisms solely using physical failure methods.
