Laser Assisted Thermo-Compression Bonding (LATCB) has been proposed to improve the "chip tilt due to the difference in solder bump height" that occurs during the conventional semiconductor chip bonding process. The bonding module of the LATCB system has used a piezoelectric actuator to control the inclination of the compression jig on a micro scale, and the piezoelectric actuator has been directly coupled to the compression jig to minimize the assembly tolerance of the compression jig. However, this structure generates a lateral force in the piezoelectric actuator when the compression jig is tilted, and the stacked piezoelectric element vulnerable to the lateral force has a risk of failure. In this paper, the optimal design of the flexure hinge was performed to minimize the lateral force generated in the piezoelectric actuator when the compression jig is tilted by using the displacement difference of the piezoelectric actuator in the bonding module for LATCB. The design variables of the flexure hinge were defined as the hinge height, the minimum diameter, and the notch radius. And the effect of the change of each variable on the stress generated in the flexible hinge and the lateral force acting on the piezoelectric actuator was analyzed. Also, optimization was carried out using commercial structural analysis software. As a result, when the displacement difference between the piezoelectric actuators is the maximum (90um), the maximum stress generated in the flexible hinge is 11.5% of the elastic limit of the hinge material, and the lateral force acting on the piezoelectric actuator is less than 1N.

The extrusion conditions of the soymilk residue and corn grits mixtures were optimized. The experiment was designed according to the D-optimal design of response surface methodology (RSM), which shows 18 experimental points including 4 replicates for three independent variables (screw speed, water content and die temperature). The responses variables such as bending force, expansion ratio, bulk density, water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI), and color values (L＊, a＊, b＊) were evaluated using response surface analysis. Expansion ratio and WSI decreased with increasing water content, whereas bulk density tended to increase with increasing water content. While greater screw speeds enhanced WSI and yellowness, higher moisture contents decreased the expansion ratio and WSI value. However, die temperature did not influence upon the response variables. The optimum extrusion conditions by numerical and graphical methods were similar: the screw speed, water content, and die temperature were 250 rpm, 22.43% and l28.16$^{\circ}C$ by the numerical method; 250 rpm, 22.43%, and 128.02$^{\circ}C$ by graphical method.

This paper presents a novel "bumpless flip chip package"for cost! performance driven devices. Using the conventional electroplating and etching processes, this package enables the production of fine pitch BGA up to 256 I/O with single layer routing. An array of circuitry down to $25-50{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line/space is fabricated to fan-in and fan-out of the bond pads without using bumps or substrate. Various types of joint methods can be applied to connect the fine trace and the bond pad directly. The resin-filled terminal provides excellent compliancy between package and the assembled board. More interestingly, the thin film routing is similar to wafer level packaging whereas the fan-out feature enables high lead count devices to be accommodated in the BGA format. Details of the design concepts and processing technology for this novel package are discussed. Trade offs to meet various cost or performance goals for selected applications are suggested. Finally, the importance of design integration early in the technology development cycle with die-level and system-level design teams is highlighted as critical to an optimal design for performance and cost.

Among the various plastic polymer molding methods, thermoplastic resins are most commonly used for mass production due to their suitability for high-volume manufacturing. However, recently, thermosetting resins have been utilized depending on product design and functionality, necessitating appropriate mold design and injection conditions to achieve suitable molded products. Therefore, resin selection must be considered not only in terms of product design but also based on functionality, taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of the resin. Additionally, since the flow characteristics of the resin are critical in injection molding, molding conditions should be set according to the thermal, physical, and rheological properties of the resin.This study focuses on the effects of filler content (glass fiber) in thermosetting fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), specifically Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) resin, which is crucial for thermal deformation in automotive motor housing products. The resins used in this study include Generic BMC1 resin, BMC1 with 15% glass fiber, and BMC1 with 30% glass fiber. The research employs CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) to investigate strain under basic conditions for the BMC resin and the strain variations with the addition of glass fiber. It also examines the impact of filler content on injection molding conditions, specifically mold temperature and curing time. Experimental results indicate that mold temperature has the most significant effect among the injection conditions, while the impact of curing time was relatively minor.

Generally, the vertical roll process is used to achieve extensive width reduction in hot strip mill. However, it is difficult to avoid the defects such as dog-bone and seam-defect. The sizing press has been developed in response to the defects mentioned above. Especially, this study is carried out to investigate the deformation of slab by two-step sizing press. The deformation behavior in the width sizing process is more favorable than that in conventional vertical rolling edger. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal anvil shape parameters in the sizing press with two-step die from the viewpoint of edge-seam length. In general, the edge-seam defect occurs parallel to the rolling direction at both edges in horizontal rolling process after sizing press. The optimal combination of the parameters is determined by FE-simulation and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The slab deformation in sizing press with convex anvil is analyzed by FE-simulation. The most suitable profile of the anvil is also discussed fur the improvement of trimming loss because of the side seam defect by FE-simulation and ANN.

Clinching is a method of joining sheet metals together. This process can be substituted for the resistance spot welding on the joining of aluminum alloys. However, the joining strength of the clinching is lower than that of welding and riveting. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of shape parameters of tools on the joining strength of the clinching and to optimize clinching tools. Twelve parameters have been selected as shape parameters on the clinching tools such as punch and die. The design of experiments (DOE) method is employed to investigate the effect of the shape parameters of tools on the joining strength of the clinching. The neck thickness and undercut of the clinched sheet metal after the clinching, and the separation load at detaching are estimated from the result of FEA using DEFORM. Optimal combination of shape parameters to maximize the joining strength of clinching is determined on the basis of the result of DOE and FEA. In order to validate the result of DOE and FEA, the experiment of clinching is performed for the optimal combination of shape parameters. It is shown from the result of the experiment that optimization of shape parameters improves the joining strength of clinching.

LED is standing in the limelight as a light part of the low-carbon green energy. While LEDs are eco-friendly, efficient and durable, extreme heat rises can cause their durability to decrease, with 80% of the power supply being turned into heat energy. Heat radiation systems are important because rising temperatures affect the lifetime of LED elements. Therefore, in this paper, thermal analysis was performed for the shape of heat sink to the LED bulb. Also, it is applied the temperature control systems to our products for optimal performance.

Plate-shaped works are one of the materials that can be applied to the entire industry due to their various shapes and sizes. Plate-shaped parts workpieces are thin and wide, and when processing is completed, they are often bent or deformed in various directions, making it difficult to produce normal products. In particular, this study intends to study the processing deformation and distortion of plate-shaped parts fastened to the jig during milling processing. In this study, a method for preventing deformation occurring in plate-shaped parts was derived through jig element change and CAE analysis, and this was applied to actual processing to produce products with stable dimensions. Through a finite element analysis experiment, it was found that installing two supports on the back of the plate-shaped part results in minimal deformation and the optimal distance between the two supports is 150 mm. Through this experiment, when processing a thin plate product, a support was installed in a direction opposite to the cutting force applied to the thin plate to prevent deformation of the product, thereby improving defects.

This study focuses on the manufacturing process of a magnesium alloy impeller used for the fuel cell car using the hot forging technology. The impeller has the very complicated shape with sharply curved blade and thus generally produced by mechanical machining or casting process. However, since these technologies give the high manufacturing cost or poor mechanical properties, the forging technology is required to make the high-quality impeller with the lower manufacturing cost. In order for production of the impeller by forging technology, the parametric studies using finite element analyses were carried out to find the optimal perform shape of impeller made of magnesium alloy AZ 31 and finally die design was proposed based on the simulation results.
