From a mechanical engineering point of view, Microelectronics and Microsystems are multi-scale in both geometric and time domains, multi-process, multi-functionality, multi-disciplinary, multi-material/interface, multi-damage and multi-failure mode. Their responses in manufacturing, assembling, qualification tests and application conditions are strongly nonlinear and stochastic. Mechanics of Microelectronics is extremely important and challenging, in terms of both industrial applications and academic research.

Written by the leading experts with both profound knowledge and rich practical experience in advanced mechanics and microelectronics industry, this book aims to provide the cutting edge knowledge and solutions for various mechanical related problems, in a systematic way. It contains essential and detailed information about the state-of-the-art theories, methodologies, the way of working and real case studies.

Covers issues essential for current and future development of Microelectronics and Microsystems Provides a systematic overview for not only the state-of-the-art, but also future roadmap and perspectives of Microelectronics and Microsystems and the associated mechanics The contents have an optimal balance between theoretical knowledge and industrial applications, written by the leading experts with both profound theoretical achievement and rich industrial experience Parts of the contents are first hand results from research and development projects funded by the European Commission
