mplementing commercial processes into the design of space electronics is a desirable, cost-effective way to leverage existing advanced packaging technologies derived from consumer electronics products. Demands for faster, better, lighter, and cheaper products have led to many innovative designs in commercial electronics, most noticeably in the telecommunications sector. But directly employing c...

This program focuses on developing inertial-grade micromachined accelerometers and gyroscopes and their associated electronics and packaging for use in a variety of military and commercial applications. During the project timeline in-plane, out-of-plane and monolithic 3-axis accelerometers have been developed with their interface electronics. Analysis, simulation, fabrication, and testing techn...

electron components have been steadily decreasing in size, while molecular materials have in recent years been found to exhibit many of the properties used in electronics. such developments are giving rise to a new field in which molecular materials are used for electronic applications. molecular electronics offers .

The International Technical Conference and Exhibition on Packaging Integration of Electronic Photonic Microsystems (InterPACK) is a flagship conference ASME Division (EPPD). It has served as an international forum within the society to share exchange latest progresses in research, development, applications electronic photonic packaging since 1992. aim Journal (JEP) Special Section for InterPACK...

In recent years, the aggressive downscaling of electronic components has led to highly dense and power-hungry devices. With Moores law expected soon reach its physical limit, there is a pressing need significantly improve efficiency performance not only nanodevices, but also embedding environment in which such nanodevices are integrated. this context, key for improving reducing both system cost...
