Innovative methodologies of circuit edit by focused ion beam (FIB) on wafer-level chip-scale-package (WLCSP) devices

As packaging technology advances to wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) to enable reduced chip size and manufacturing cost, circuit edit has become a critical issue for the fully packaged integrated circuits (ICs). These advanced package types cannot be rebuilt on a single chip; therefore, function testing after circuit edit of WLCSP faces challenges. Furthermore, there are routings at the redistribution layer of WLCSP ICs. Circuit edit was applied on both the chip and the package level. In this paper the focused ion beam was applied to mill the organic material of the package structure to expose underlying ICs, instead of chemically destroying the packaging. Metal line cutting and conductive path deposition were also developed by a beam-based technique. These new approaches make the direct edit of electrical circuitry possible not only in ICs but also at package level. Therefore, for the debug process and for failure analysis, the WLCSP ICs have negligible damage and negligible signal integrity loss by retaining the original packaging structure.     

Carbide Formation and Growth Kinetics Enhanced by Tensile Stress and Elevated Temperature Intergranular Cracking in 2.25Cr-1.5W Heat-Resistant Steels

The carbide growth kinetics enhanced in grain interiors is mainly due to the increased diffusivity in the direction normal to the tensile stress. The accelerated kinetics at the grain boundaries normal to the tensile stress is due to the increased grain boundary energy and the widened grain boundary path producing the increased diffusivity in the direction normal to the tensile stress. A strong segregation behavior of impurities to the grain boundary carbide interfaces follows the enhanced grain boundary carbide growth kinetics.

Enhanced transformation of triclosan by laccase in the presence of redox mediators

Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial agent, is an emerging and persistent environmental pollutant that is often found as a contaminant in surface waters and sediments; hence, knowledge of its degradability is important. In this study we investigated laccase-mediated TCS transformation and detoxification, using laccase (from the fungus Ganoderma lucidum) in the presence and absence of redox mediators. Transformation products were identified using HPLC, ESI-MS and GC-MS, and transformation mechanisms were proposed. In the absence of redox mediator, 56.5% TCS removal was observed within 24 h, concomitant with formation of new products with molecular weights greater than that of TCS. These products were dimers and trimers of TCS, as confirmed by ESI-MS analysis. Among the various mediators tested, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) and syringaldehyde (SYD) significantly enhanced TCS transformation (∼90%). The presence of these mediators resulted in products with lower molecular weights than TCS, including 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP; confirmed by GC-MS) and dechlorinated forms of 2,4-DCP. When SYD was used as the mediator, dechlorination resulted in 2-chlorohydroquinone (2-CHQ). Bacterial growth inhibition studies revealed that laccase-mediated transformation of TCS effectively decreased its toxicity, with ultimate conversion to less toxic or nontoxic products. Our results confirmed the involvement of two mechanisms of laccase-catalyzed TCS removal: (i) oligomerization in the absence of redox mediators, and (ii) ether bond cleavage followed by dechlorination in the presence of redox mediators. These results suggest that laccase in combination with natural redox mediator systems may be a useful strategy for the detoxification and elimination of TCS from aqueous systems.

Power loss minimization considering short‐circuit capacity in distribution system with decentralized distributed generation

In the future, a large number of distributed generators are expected to be connected to the distribution system. However, with the connected capacity of distributed generation (DG) increasing, the problems of short‐circuit capacity (SCC) over the interrupting capacity of the circuit breaker (CB) and power loss increases due to reverse power flow from DG are inevitable. In this paper, a reconfiguration methodology based on an optimal algorithm is applied to the distribution system with DG to minimize power loss, taking into account the SCC. Moreover, in order to further reduce the loss, the daily load variation is also considered and the optimal model decided by calculations. Finally, to illustrate its application, the methodology is applied to a case study of a 33‐bus system with decentralized DG units. The results show that this method is obviously able to reduce power loss and make the network operate in the optimal mode with normal load variation, at the same time decreasing the SCC within the interrupting maximum of the faulty CB. Moreover, the whole voltage profile is also improved. © 2012 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
