Anodic bonding is widely-used in the fabrication of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices to join silicon and glass components. The process involves the application of temperature, moderate pressure and an electric field. This paper investigates residual stresses arising during anodic bonding, focusing on the resulting induced distortions. Components of a MEMS silicon rate sensor, in which a silicon wafer is anodically bonded to Pyrex™ glass, were used as the vehicle for the investigation. Distortions generated by the anodic bonding process when using two different electrode configurations (point and planar) were measured using a surface optical profiler. These showed a particular pattern across the wafers for both configurations. An efficient FEM study was carried out to model the qualitative effect of the following residual stress sources; thermal stress, glass shrinkage due to structural relaxation and compositional gradients due to ion migration. Importantly, the FE model takes account the actual multi-device wafer-level configuration, as opposed to a single device. The results demonstrate that compositional gradients can make a significant contribution to the observed pattern of distortions.

Anodic bonding experiments of Pyrex glass and Kovar alloy have been carried out in this investigation. By means of SEM and EDS, microstructures and chemical elements in the joining interfaces were analyzed. With XRD, phase structures in the interfaces were also analyzed. The results show that the joint is made up of three different layers, which are Kovar alloy layer, transition layer and Pyrex glass layer. The transition layer are spinal oxides, which are FeO·SiO2. By means of MARC software, residual stresses and strains were investigated for the anodic bonding samples of Pyrex glass/Kovar alloy. The maximum residual stress located in the transition layer and the maximum strain located in the Kovar alloy layer. Residual stresses and strains of the sample are significant small and uniform.

It was Niihara et al. who first discovered that the fracture strength of Al2O3 can be increased by incorporating as little as 5 vol.% of nano-size SiC particles (>1000 MPa), and that the strength would be improved further by a simple annealing procedure (>1500 MPa). This discovery has stimulated intense interest on Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites. Recent indentation studies by Fang et al. have shown that residual stress relief was more difficult in the nanocomposite than in pure Al2O3. In the present work, TEM was employed to investigate the microscopic mechanism(s) for the difference in the residual stress recovery in these two materials.Bulk samples of hot-pressed single phase Al2O3, and Al2O3 containing 5 vol.% 0.15 μm SiC particles were simultaneously polished with 15 μm diamond compound. Each sample was cut into two pieces, one of which was subsequently annealed at 1300° for 2 hours in flowing argon. Disks of 3 mm in diameter were cut from bulk samples.

The prediction of residual stress relaxation is essential to assess the safety of welded components. This paper aims to study the influence of various effective parameters on residual stress relaxation under cyclic loading. In this regard, a 3D finite element modeling is performed to determine the residual stress in welded aluminum plates. The accuracy of this analysis is verified through experiment. To study the plasticity effect on stress relaxation, two plasticity models are implemented: perfect plasticity and combined isotropic-kinematic hardening. Hence, cyclic plasticity characterization of the material is specified by low cycle fatigue tests. It is found that the perfect plasticity leads to greater stress relaxation. In order to propose an accurate model to compute the residual stress relaxation, the Taguchi L18 array with four 3-level factors and one 6-level is employed. Using statistical analysis, the order of factors based on their effect on stress relaxation is determined as mean stress, stress amplitude, initial residual stress, and number of cycles. In addition, the stress relaxation increases with an increase in mean stress and stress amplitude.
