This article describes the design and fabrication of a hermetic LTCC package for an optical MEMS chip designed for space applications. The package must ensure electrical and optical connections, mechanical positioning, atmosphere control, and finally low t ...
The quantity of MEMS manufacturers has considerably been increasing these last years. This doesn't mean that the introduction of such products on the market has become easier. A packaging operation is needed to obtain a usable product out of a microsystem. ...
Solders are widely used as interconnect material for the electronic industry. The solder interconnect provides both electrical contact and mechanical connection between the integrated circuit devices and their substrate. Thus solders with good reliability ...
Uniaxial quasi-static tensile testing on individual nanocrystalline Co nanowires (NWs), synthesized by electrochemical deposition process (EDP) in porous templates, was performed inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) using a microfabricated tensile s ...
Capillary fluidic self-assembly (SA) intrinsically features massively-parallel, contactless die handling and allows for high-precision die placement. It may thus boost die-to-substrate assembly throughput and scalability. Here we characterize for the first ...
A deep analysis of the reliability of lead-free (SnAgCu) solders in comparison with tin-lead solders have been done for a particular aerospace application, SwissCube’s motherboard (MB). Since 2006, using Pb in consumer electronics has been banned. Aerospac ...

Residual stress relief in ceramic-metal joints produced by active brazing depends primarily on the plastic response of the filler metal. A procedure for the production and mechanical characterization of bulk active filler alloy specimens is developed. In p ...
The invention relates to an optical tweezer device including at least one light source (2) and one three-dimensional optical trap (9,10), said optical trap comprising one focusing micro-mirror (7) which is adapted to reflect and focus at least a portion of ...
The current study proposes a combined experimental and modeling approach to characterize the mechanical response of composite lead-free solders. The influence of the reinforcement volume fraction on the shear response of the solder material in the joint is ...
