2 Nanoparticle Properties (High surface/volume ratio catalysts, etc) Nanoparticles single grain, no defects (Mallik) Criterion: Fermi Level in Conduction Band Aguilera-Granja Nanotechnology (2007) (atoms) DIFFUSION Ostwald ripening Coalescence 2 Sintering (thermally activated) Ohring (2002) (Novikov & Nowottnick, ESTC 2010) Melting Point Depression: Normalized curves ~independent of material Solder: 0.05( ) = 24.5K; T M C for ~5nm i.e. 5% at 5nm Sambles, Proc. Royal Soc. (1971) [TEM observations]

3 Melting Point Depression in Nanoparticle No-Pb Solders (Hongjin Jiang et al, ECTC 07) [found by DSC] Temperature ( o C) (Johan Liu et al, EPTC 2008) T m (20)=214 o C T m (10)=204 o C T m (5)=188 o C Bulk Eq.(1) cal. B-sample, T m = o C C-sample, T m = o C Sn-3.0Ag- 0.5Cu Particle radius (nm) SnAg 3 ~5% reduction (K) at 5nm Sn-0.4Co-0.7Cu

4 Printed Nanoparticle Interconnect Deposition (Felba & Schaeffer) e.g. on flex Nanoscale Ag on Si, before and after sintering at 280 (Bai et al) Ag nanoparticle paste : Initially, and after dipping in methanol for 180s, 600s, 3600s at room temperature (Wakuda et al) 4

5 Nanoparticle Sintering Surface treatments to avoid agglomeration [Wong et al, ECTC 06] (Sun & Wong, ECTC 04) e.g. Carboxylate Amine Polymer (Moscicki et al, EMPC 2011) 5 9/22/2011

11 TSV reliability issues (Sinha et al, NMDC 2010) a) Cu filled via at normal temperature b) Copper expansion can fracture the oxide layer above c) Delamination as a result of thermal cycling (Metallic) SWNT thermal expansion coefficient (Jiang et al, J. Eng Materials & Technology, 126 (2004) )

16 Health and Environmental Issues & Tort Law: Nano-Ag in the environment: aquatic food chain Nanoparticles & CNTs in the body Company responsibility that product meets FDA safety standards To minimize exposure to litigation, must show: Product designed with safety in mind Workers educated to possible exposure risks Company tracks relevant research, regulations, etc NIOSH website Nanoparticle Information Library Risks evaluated (in collaboration with others?) External statements consistent with internal data/memos Affirmative steps to reduce exposures Filters, gloves, washing, etc Monitors health of workers and consumers ISO9000 parallel: Must be able to show procedures in place If not negligence! punitive damages! Cautions already abound Canaries: Monitor workers; asbestos problems in factories, not public 16 9/22/2011
