Extract

The trend towards higher density and smaller feature sizes in today's devices, and the increasing costs associated with designing and manufacturing these devices, has placed a greater emphasis on obtaining an a priori understanding of how various materials will perform in a device. A number of manufacturers have turned to computer modeling, utilizing finite element analysis to aid in the design of new devices and reduce the costs associated with preparing prototypes. The use of computer modeling requires a constitutive equation relating the response of a material to an applied load. Polymer behavior is complex and writing an equation or a series of equations that describe the behavior of the polymer over the entire range of possible temperatures and deformations is nontrivial. Instead, series of equations that describe ideal material behavior are used in an attempt to describe the behavior of real materials over a narrow range of temperatures and deformations. For solids, the ideal material response that is generally used to describe real polymer behavior is linear elasticity.
