Code: EP31 Contents of this page:Description DescriptionThis book is the result of a collaboration between two authors with complementary expertise in thick-film technology, both in industrial applications and in teaching. Although a theoretical background is provided where appropriate, the approach concentrates on the design, manufacture and applications of thick-films. Five of the ten chapters look at manufacturing aspects including process technology, pastes and substrates, components, packaging and assembly and the influence of the environment. One chapter examines recent technology developments and the remainder discuss design, applications and sensors. Information is given on a range of thick film sensors and their possible applications. The importance of thick-film technology in high speed and microwave applications is looked at in detail. Sections on thermal design and reliability support those on electrical design and layout. A unique feature of the book is the presentation of a PC compatible disk with it containing the thick-film CAD program CAHL (Computer Aided Hybrid Layout), developed at the University of South Australia. About the authorsMalcolm Haskard was Professor the Microelectronics, Head of the School of Electronic Engineering and Founding Director of the Microelectronics Centre at the University of South Australia. He retired in late 1996 and now assists the University and Microelectronics Centre as an Adjunct Professor. His research interests include microelectronic sensors, MEMS and microengineering. He has been an Australian Government advisor on microelectronics for the ASEAN region and, on behalf of his University, the Government and UNESCO, has conducted many specialist microelectronics courses in Australia and six overseas countries. Professor Haskard is a Fellow of three Institutions, namely the Institution of Engineers Australia, the Institution of Radio and Electronics Engineers (Australia) and the Institution of Electrical Engineers (London), and a member of the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society. He has published nine books. Keith Pitt graduated from the University of London in 1953 with an Honours Degree in Chemistry. He was awarded an MPhil. from Middlesex University in 1987. He joined Middlesex University in 1971 after spells with the Philips, Morganite and GEC groups. After recent retirement as Reader in Microelectronics Manufacturing and Deputy Head of Middlesex University Microelectronics Centre, he is now a Visiting Academic in the University with research interests in thick-film microwave technology, thermal design and reliability of electronics systems.
