Anode bonding is a microelectronics industry method of bonding wafers using heat and an electrostatic field, commonly used for silicon-glass bonding. The technique relies on electrostatic attraction and is used to protect sensitive electronic components. It has limitations on material combinations due to similar coefficients of thermal expansion. Anode bonding is a method of bonding […]
Wire bonding is a complex process used to connect electronic components using gold, aluminum, or copper. It involves low heat, ultrasonic energy, and pressure traces to avoid damaging the circuit board. Ball and wedge bonding techniques are used, with up to 10 bonds created per second. Pure gold is the best choice for ball bonding, […]
Wire bonding is a process used to connect electronic components using gold, aluminum, or copper due to their conductivity and bonding temperatures. It involves low heat, ultrasonic energy, and pressure traces to avoid damaging the circuit board. Ball and wedge bonding techniques are used, with up to 10 bonds created per second. The process varies […]
Wafer bonding is the process of fusing mechanical or electrical devices to a small wafer of semiconductive material, resulting in a finished chip. The process requires a clean substrate surface, precise temperature, and exact pressure. Different bonding techniques include direct bonding, plasma activated bonding, and thermocompression bonding. Testing methods are used to ensure the finished […]
Plastic bonding is common and used in various industries. Adhesives are the most common method, with surface preparation and curing time required. Adhesives vary based on material properties and performance characteristics. Ultrasonic bonding is an alternative method for larger plastic parts. Plastic bonding has become more common as the number and variety of bonded plastic […]
Wedge bonding is a process of joining patch cords between electronic components and a printed circuit board using ultrasonic or thermosonic energy and pressure. The process involves bonding a wire connector to a terminal on the component and a PCB with a flat wedge-shaped component. It is slower than ball bonding but produces a smaller […]
Bonding and Relaxation Techniques (BART) use gentle touch to help parents bond with their special needs children, based on the parenting theories of Virnala McClure and developed by Evelyn Guyer. BART can improve physical and emotional development, and help parents connect with their children. One of the simplest yet most innovative methods to help parents […]
Channel bonding combines multiple computer network systems to improve performance and increase available communication channels. It can be used with various network types and improves Wi-Fi performance. One channel acts as a control while the others use all its functions. Channel bonding increases MHz and can increase the speed of dial-up connections. Up to eight […]
Chemical bonding occurs when atoms join to form a molecule with less energy than its uncombined atoms. The three main bond types are ionic, covalent, and metallic, while hydrogen bonds are weaker. Atoms consist of a nucleus with protons and electrons, and valence electrons are involved in chemical bonds. Noble gases do not form bonds, […]
Dental bonding uses resin to correct imperfections or problems with teeth. The procedure takes 30 minutes to an hour and can repair cavities, chipped teeth, discolored teeth, and gaps. It is less expensive and less invasive than other treatments, but the materials used are less durable and can chip or stain. When a person has […]
Metallic bonds hold metal atoms together with delocalized electrons floating through the lattice, giving metals unique properties such as conductivity and malleability. The lattice structure of complete atoms allows electrons to migrate through the lattice, creating stronger bonds with closely spaced atoms. The delocalized electrons also allow for excellent conductivity, and the metallic bond allows […]
Employee bonding is a type of business insurance that protects companies from financial loss caused by employees’ actions. It covers scenarios such as embezzlement, theft, and harm caused to others in the workplace. The cost and extent of coverage depend on the employee and the claim process requires proof of actual financial loss. While it […]
