現代の集積回路は, プラスチック封止型マイクロ回路 (PEM) として提供されています. これらのデバイスは, 内部の半導体を保護するために, ポリマー材料とエポキシ樹脂で成形されています. しかし, ポリマーモールドコンパウンドは湿度の高い環境にさらされると水分を吸収し, 膨張して望ましくない歪みを引き起こします. この歪みは, 熱歪みと同程度の大きさになる場合があります. このアプリケーションでは, MEMS 圧力センサーを保護するモールドコンパウンドを介した水分の拡散について調査します. 水分拡散によって引き起こされる吸湿膨張は, ... 詳細を見る

A paraboloidal dish can concentrate solar energy onto a target (receiver), resulting in very high local heat fluxes. This can be used to generate steam, which can be used to power a generator, or hydrogen, which can be used directly as a fuel source. In this model, the heat flux arriving ... 詳細を見る

In signal integrity (SI) applications, time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a useful technique for analyzing the discontinuity in a signal path by observing the reflected signal strength. The reflected signal distorts the input pulse mainly by impedance mismatch if there is no external ... 詳細を見る

This tutorial model presents a study of a coaxial DC corona discharge in dry air at atmospheric pressure. The dimensions and operation conditions are similar to ones found in electrostatic precipitators with wire-to-plate configurations. The inner wire electrode has a 100-mm radius and ... 詳細を見る

In this example, a tensile test is simulated at four different strain rates. The Johnson–Cook hardening law is used to model the strain rate dependency of the plastic hardening. The temperature distribution and thermal expansion caused by the heating generated by the plastic ... 詳細を見る

Gas cells have several applications in the design of scientific instruments. A gas cell is used to define a high-pressure region within the instrument's main vacuum system. For example, in this application, note we are designing a high-pressure region 100 mm long, with an operating ... 詳細を見る

A capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) is a micro-scale receiver that converts ultrasound to electrical signal for high-resolution imaging application. This CMUT design has optimized force-displacement characteristics for increased transduction efficiency. Central to the ... 詳細を見る

This tutorial models how the relative humidity of the inlet gases impacts the performance of a low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane-electrode assembly. The model includes humidity-dependent ionomer (electrolyte) conductivities, gas phase mass transport and water ionomer ... 詳細を見る

This example simulates electroplating of a printed circuit board (PCB) in 3D using the Secondary Current Distribution interface. In order to achieve thickness uniformity across the PCB, a dummy pattern is included in the design, along with an aperture in the electroplating bath. 詳細を見る

Copper electrowinning is the process of copper extraction from an electrolyte solution and its deposition at the cathode surface, by passing an external current through the electrolytic cell and using an insoluble anode. During the process, oxygen bubbles are generated at the anode ... 詳細を見る
