Quantum dots (QDs) backlight brings several advantages to LCDs, including wider color gamut, higher light efficiency, enhanced ambient contrast ratio, and over 100X smaller color shift. The prime time for QD-enhanced LCDs is around the corner.
System in Package (SiP) has become a popular technology along with the tendency of functionality and portability for electronic devices. Due to the complex design, dimension, and materials in SiP system, some of traditional failure analysis methods are not applicable any more, or have to be improved to meet the specific requirements of SiP structures. In this paper, some advanced techniques for failure...
This paper describes the technology development and infusion of a motor drive electronics assembly for Mars Curiosity Rover under space extreme environments. The technology evaluation and qualification as well as space qualification of the assembly are described and summarized. Because of the uncertainty of the technologies operating under the extreme space environments and that a high level of reliability...
As system-on-chip (SoC) becomes prevalent in the intelligent system applications, the reliability issue of SoC is getting more attention in the design industry. But due to the circuit complexity, the high pin counts and ever increasing operating frequencies, System-on -Chip (SoC) devices drive the most challenging requirements for failure localization and mechanism analysis. PEM (Photon Emission Microscopy)...
As large consolidated data centers and cloud computing infrastructures proliferate worldwide in response to the continued global demand for information technology (IT) applications, there has been a renewed interest in understanding the environmental impacts of the data centers housing these IT services. A relatively understudied aspect of data center environmental assessments, however, is the variability...
Reduction of resource consumption in data centers is becoming a growing concern for data center designers, operators and users. Accordingly, interest in the use of renewable energy to provide some portion of a data center's overall energy usage is also growing. One key concern is that the amount of renewable energy necessary to satisfy a typical data center's power consumption can lead to prohibitively...
The purpose of this study is to develop a SCORM-based Sharable Content Repository Management System (CRMS) to manage the data, content objects and assessments of all areas in the Grade 1-9 Curriculum, with the characteristics of Reusability, Durability, Accessibility, Adaptability, Affordability and Interoperability. By using the effective SCORM-based Sharable CRMS to manage their files, teachers...
A dedicated platform was designed to study the transport and thermodynamic properties of various conductive nanowires (NWs). In this report, a Bi2Te3 nanowire with diameter d ~100 nm fabricated by AAO and chemical electrodeposition technique was carried out. The measured resistivity of the Bi2Te3 nanowires is about 4.3 ????-m, which is similar to the bulk value. The quality of nanowire was characterized...
Low-k materials have been introduced in the backend interconnects since 90 nm node for advanced microelectronic products in order to reduce the RC delay. However, the fragile low-k layer is very sensitive to the thermal stress induced by the CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) mismatch at metal/dielectric level as well as at die/package level. In the die/package interaction, the transition to lead-free...
We report on the dc and microwave characteristics of an InP/InGaAsSb/InGaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistor grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. The pseudomorphic In0.37Ga0.63As0.89Sb0.11 base reduces the conduction band offset (DeltaEC) at the emitter/base (E/B) junction and the base band gap, which leads to a very low VBE turn-on voltage of 0.35 V at 1 A/cm2. Current gain of 125...
