Analysis For Handling Flexible Green Sheets With Automated Tools, Chao Xie

Theses

The electronics industry is characterized by rapid technological advances. Increase in number of I/O interconnections on chips and need for more compact assemblies is forcing designer to consider multilayer ceramic packaging. With the advancement in co-fired technology, the green tapes are becoming widely used now, and will be even more so in the future. There is considerable knowledge and expertise on the preparation of multilayer ceramic materials but little information is available on the handling of laminate ceramic green sheets with automated tools.

In this thesis, we will analyze the displacement, the principal and shearing stress of the different sized …
