Journal Article
Yang, L., Agyakwa, P., & Johnson, C. (2014). Calibration of a novel microstructural damage model for wire bonds. IEEE Transactions on Device and Materials Reliability, 14(4), 989-994. https://doi.org/10.1109/TDMR.2014.2354739

In a previous paper, a new time-domain damage-based physics model was proposed for the lifetime prediction of wire bond interconnects in power electronic modules. Unlike cycle-dependent life prediction methodologies, this model innovatively incorpora... Read More about Calibration of a novel microstructural damage model for wire bonds.

Reliability of thick Al wire: a study of the effects of wire bonding parameters on thermal cycling degradation rate using non-destructive methods (2014)
Journal Article
Arjmand, E., Agyakwa, P. A., & Johnson, C. M. (2014). Reliability of thick Al wire: a study of the effects of wire bonding parameters on thermal cycling degradation rate using non-destructive methods. Microelectronics Reliability, 54(9-10), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.microrel.2014.07.119

The effect of bonding parameters on the reliability of thick Al wire bond is investigated. Samples were prepared with 25 different designs with 5 different bonding parameters such as time, ultrasonic power, begin- force, end-force and touch-down step...

3 mm × 3 mm dummy SiC dies with 100\200\200 nm thick Ti\W\Au metallization have simultaneously been attached using sintering of Ag nanoparticle paste on AlN-based direct bonded copper substrates with 5\0.1 μm thick NiP\Au finish. The effect of prepar... Read More about Bonding strength of multiple SiC die attachment prepared by sintering of Ag nanoparticles.

Interdiffusion coefficients of binary multiphase systems with consideration of variation in Molar volumes (2014)
Journal Article
Li, J., Agyakwa, P., & Johnson, C. M. (2014). Interdiffusion coefficients of binary multiphase systems with consideration of variation in Molar volumes

This communication introduces a modification to the Wagner method to reveal and correct considerable systematic errors existing in the previously established analytical methods used to calculate the interdiffusion coefficients of binary multiphase sy...
