		Title : Solder Joint Technology Materials, Properties, and Reliability Author : King-Ning Tu Description : Solder joints are ubiquitous in electronic consumer products. With the European Union’s directive to ban the use of lead-based (Pb) solders in these products, there is an urgent need for research on solder joint behavior under various driving forces in electronic manufacturing, and for development of lead-free solders. For example, spontaneous Sn whisker growth and electromigration induced failure in solder joints are serious issues. These reliability issues are quite complicated due to the combined effect of electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal forces on solder joints. To improve solder joint reliability, the science of solder joint behavior under various driving forces must be understood. This book offers a thorough examination of advanced materials reliability issues related to copper-tin reaction and electromigration in solder joints, and presents methods for preventing common reliablity problems.

		Title : Wafer Level 3-D ICs Process Technology Author : Chuan Seng Tan, Ronald J. Gutmann, and Rafael L. Reif Description : Wafer Level 3-D ICs Process Technology focuses on foundry-based process technology that enables the fabrication of 3-D ICs. The core of the book discusses alternative technology platforms for pre-packaging wafer level 3-D ICs, with an emphasis on wafer-to-wafer stacking. Driven by the need for improved performance, a number of companies, consortia and universities are researching methods to use short, monolithically-fabricated, vertical interconnections to replace the long interconnects found in 2-D ICs. Stacking disparate technologies to provide various combinations of densely-packed functions, such as logic, memory, MEMS, displays, RF, mixed-signal, sensors, and power delivery is potentially possible with 3-D heterogeneous integration, making this technology the "Holy Grail" of system integration.
