Enhancing Precision Manufacturing Through In-Situ Metrology

Ultra-Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing for Thermal Management of Microelectronics

Thermal management of microelectronic devices is an ongoing technological challenge that directly affects device-level and system-level performance and reliability [1]. The fundamental process of electron transport in a transistor device results in dissipation of heat. This causes temperature rise, which in turn limits device performance. For most semiconductor devices, performance goes down wi...

Control Architectures for Industrial Additive Manufacturing Systems

Industrial Additive Manufacturing technologies are increasingly being employed in manufacturing environments, yet there has been little consideration of these in terms of manufacturing systems. This paper explores the important concept of control for Industrial Additive Manufacturing Systems, drawing upon data achieved in twelve case studies to identify four feasible control architectures. Usin...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
