Curvature Measurements of Tri-Material Structures Under Thermal Excursion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
The bending curvatures of tri-material plates have been measured using in situ laser reflection technique at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 160°C. The tri-material structures are formed by attaching silicon wafers to ceramic substrates with die-attach adhesives from solder-like (elastic modulus ≈ 24 GPa) to gel-like (elastic modulus ≈ 0.003 GPa) characteristics. The temperature dependence of curvature as a result of the thermal expansion mismatch is measured. The structure bonded by the gel-like adhesive has substantially lower, about a factor of ten less, bending than the structures attached by the other two types of adhesives. We found good agreements between the measurements and the theoretical derivations by Suhir[1] for the bending curvature of finite tri-material assembly.
