Electronic Metallurgy (EBT 414/3)

Micro-miniaturization in electronics--a necessity for personal communications devices like cell phones and PDAs--has radically altered the materials these electronics are made from. This new edition, the first update of the handbook since 1993, is a complete rewrite, reflecting the great importance of engineering materials for thermal management and flexibility and microminiature sizes, and will be an invaluable tool to anyone working in electronic packaging, fabrication, or assembly design. * ALL NEW--A complete rewrite of the previous edition * Details and characterizes every major material type, allowing engineers to make accurate, cost-effective design choices * Full materials breakdown for high density packaging techniques * Materials for communications wiring and cabling

Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, is a greatly enhanced version of the highly successful text Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Second Edition. It is designed for a first course on electronic materials given in Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Physics and Engineering Physics Departments at the undergraduate level. The third edition has numerous revisions that include more beautiful illustrations and photographs, additional sections, more solved problems, worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems with direct engineering applications. The revisions have improved the rigor without sacrificing the original semiquantitative approach that both the students and instructors liked and valued. Some of the new end-of-chapter problems have been especially selected to satisfy various professional engineering design requirements for accreditation across international borders. Advanced topics have been collected under Additional Topics, which are not necessary in a short introductory treatment.

This volume is one of four, each of which consists of reprinted chapters from the highly acclaimed, comprehensive two-volume set Intermetallic Compounds: Principles and Practice. published in 1995. In some cases the author or authors have added a brief addendum to bring their chapter up to date and in other cases more recent references have been added. Chapters have been selected and grouped in subject areas to provide more easily accessible and user-friendly volumes for individual researchers. The other titles in this four-volume set are: Crystal Structures of Intermetallic Compounds Basic Mechanical Properties and Lattice Defects of Intermetallic Compounds Structural Applications of Intermetallic Compounds

This electronics-specific program shows how to apply modern techniques of quality management to the design and manufacture of electronic components and systems. Electronics professionals find out how to use an integrated quality management system that embraces sales and marketing, procurement and order administration, engineering, manufacturing, enterprise management, and support. They'll gain a working understanding of advanced techniques such as ISO 9000, SPC, Deming's methods, and statistical process control from an electronics viewpoint. Step-by-step guidelines throughout show how to use quality management to reduce program risk and improve product affordability, while shifting emphasis from correcting defects to preventing them.

For an advanced undergrad/first grad course in materials science, covering thin film materials.

A thorough introduction to fundamental principles and applications From its beginnings in metallurgy and ceramics, materials science now encompasses such high- tech fields as microelectronics, polymers, biomaterials, and nanotechnology. Electronic Materials Science presents the fundamentals of the subject in a detailed fashion for a multidisciplinary audience. Offering a higher-level treatment than an undergraduate textbook provides, this text benefits students and practitioners not only in electronics and optical materials science, but also in additional cutting-edge fields like polymers and biomaterials. Readers with a basic understanding of physical chemistry or physics will appreciate the text's sophisticated presentation of today's materials science. Instructive derivations of important formulae, usually omitted in an introductory text, are included here. This feature offers a useful glimpse into the foundations of how the discipline understands such topics as defects, phase equilibria, and mechanical properties. Additionally, concepts such as reciprocal space, electron energy band theory, and thermodynamics enter the discussion earlier and in a more robust fashion than in other texts. Electronic Materials Science also features: * An orientation towards industry and academia drawn from the author's experience in both arenas * Information on applications in semiconductors, optoelectronics, photocells, and nanoelectronics * Problem sets and important references throughout * Flexibility for various pedagogical needs Treating the subject with more depth than any other introductory text, Electronic Materials Science prepares graduate and upper-level undergraduate students for advanced topics in the discipline and gives scientists in associated disciplines a clear review of the field and its leading technologies.

Requiring knowledge of the chemistry and physics of materials, this study relates the complete set of strength characteristics of constituent atoms to their electronic structures. The book uses classical and quantum mechanics (since both are needed to describe these properties) and begins with short reviews of each area. After the reviews, the three major branches of the strength of materials are divided into the following sections: the elastic stiffnesses; the plastic responses; and the nature of fracture.

This junior/senior textbook presents fundamental concepts of structure property relations and a description of how these concpets apply to every metallic element except iron. Part One of the book describes general concepts of crystal structure, microstructure and related factors on the mechanical, thermal, magnetic and electronic properties of nonferrous metals, intermetallic compounds and metal matrix composites. Part Two discusses all the nonferrous metallic elements from two perspectives: First it explains how the concepts presented in Part One define the properties of a particular metallic element and its alloys. Second is a description of the major engineering uses of each metal. This section features sidebar pieces describing particular physical property oddities, engineering applications and case studies. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
