Shift Dynamics of Capillary Self-Alignment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the dynamics of capillary self-alignment of components with initial shift offsets from matching receptor sites. The analysis of the full uniaxial self-alignment dynamics of foil-based mesoscopic dies from pre-alignment to final settling evidenced three distinct, sequential regimes impacting the process performance. The dependence of accuracy, alignment time and repeatability of capillary self-alignment on control parameters such as size, weight, surface energy and initial offset of assembling dies was investigated. Finally, we studied the influence of the dynamic coupling between the degenerate oscillation modes of the system on the alignment performance by means of pre-defined biaxial offsets.

In-plane mode dynamics of capillary self-alignment.
We present an experimental study of the complete in-plane dynamics of capillary self-alignment. The two translational (shift) and single rotational (twist) in-plane modes of square millimetric transparent dies bridged to shape-matching receptor sites through a liquid meniscus were selectively excited by preset initial offsets. The entire self-alignment dynamics was simultaneously monitored over...
متن کاملCapillary self-alignment of polygonal chips: A generalization for the shift-restoring force
Capillary-driven self-alignment using droplets is currently extensively investigated for selfassembly and microassembly technology. In this technique, surface tension forces associated to capillary pinning create restoring forces and torques that tend to bring the moving part into alignment. So far, most studies have addressed the problem of square chip alignment on a dedicated patch of a wafer...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...

متن کاملHydrodynamic models of self-organized dynamics: derivation and existence theory
This paper is concerned with the derivation and analysis of hydrodynamic models for systems of self-propelled particles subject to alignment interaction and attractionrepulsion. The starting point is the kinetic model considered in [10] with the addition of an attraction-repulsion interaction potential. Introducing different scalings than in [10], the non-local effects of the alignment and attr...
