This paper deals with reliability of joints glued by non-conductive adhesives (NCA) on flexible substrates during electrical current ageing. Also the comparison of NCA joints ageing with ECA joints ageing is presented in this paper. Two types of adhesives were used for the experiment-non-conductive UV curable acrylic adhesive Loctite AA3926 (NCA) and electrically conductive two part epoxy adhesive MG 8331S (ECA). The purpose of the experiment was to verify the reliability of NCA joints during the electrical current accelerated ageing. The electrical resistance of UV NCA joints on flexible DuPont Pyralux substrate before, during and after electrical current load was better than resistance of ECA joints and UV NCA can be recommended.

Capacitors made of polypropylene film metalized on one or both surfaces are examined for a long time. The loss factor of these capacitors is very low and its changes during the climatic aging are low. Therefore, there are examined new ways how to inspect the changes of quality of these capacitors. One possible way is measurement of non-linearity of Voltage-current characteristic of these capacitors. This parameter is evaluated according to the value of the third harmonics component that occurs on the capacitor when it is supplied with a sinusoidal current. The capacitors from five different manufacturers have been temperature aged for 5,316 hours and values of the loss factor and non-linearity have been measured continuously throughout the aging period. It has been found that for some types of capacitors the courses are similar, whereas for other type differs significantly. The reason is using of different types of PP film and technology of capacitors manufacturing.

In this paper implementation of composite membrane with LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic)ferrite flaky fillers in realization of inductive displacement sensor is presented. Membrane was realized by placing a silicone layer in mold, followed by adding ferrite flaky fillers in active area of membrane. Final step in membrane realization was addition of top layer of silicone. Sensor was realized by employing 3D printing technology and it was made of four main parts: bottom part with spiral inductor, spacer in the middle and stretchable membranes covered with top part.

Printed circuit boards (PCB)and SMD packages are made from different materials which coefficients of thermal expansion can differ much. Hence, under thermal load, e.g. board assembly or at field conditions, PCB and package deformation and deviation from the initial state often occur as warpage. During board assembly this warpage can cause failures such as open solder joints and/or shorts of solder joints. In this paper, the use the of shadow moire technique will be introduced for capturing the warpage under thermal loads. Measurement results of single substrates and a selected BGA package will be shown. Furthermore, a design process for PCBs to be applied for investigation of the influence of assembly process parameter will be described. It is assumed that the applied variations and their influence on the assembly quality are linked by the equilibrium of mechanical forces between PCB, BGA and solder joint. Additionally, it is assumed that mechanical stress - especially in out-of-plane direction-may occur in the solder joints. These thoughts apply for soldering process as well as temperature cycling conditions. A finite element model was implemented to analyze the stress for the selected BGA under defined conditions and to investigate warpage impacts on reliability. Finally, a novel approach to measure the electrical functionality will be introduced addressing BGAs under test which come with a high number of connections.

Direct copper bonding (DCB) substrate consisting of an Al2O3-ceramic layer in between two thick copper layers is one of the most powerful ceramic substrates for electronic applications. During the manufacturing process or under the service loading, high thermal or mechanical stress would be occurred. Extreme stress concentration might increase and in consequence copper structure rip off the ceramic substrates by cracking and conchoidal fractures. To avoid the crack initiation and guarantee a good quality state of ceramic substrates, the residual stress condition should be monitored. In this paper, an optical non-destructive testing method - Laser Speckle Photometry (LSP) will be demonstrated to determine mechanical stresses in ceramic substrates. The static speckle pattern is generated on the sample surface by illumination of a laser source, and sample is loaded by a 3-point-bending device to introduce surface strain, which activates a time resolved speckle signal. By recording and analyzing the quasi static speckle pattern, the speckle signal can be related to applied external mechanical signal. The resulting measurement signal was calibrated by stresses, calculated via a finite-element-model FEM. The potential of LSP for non-destructive characterization and monitoring of stress condition will be shown in details.

Adhesive joints made of two types of electrically conductive adhesives with epoxy matrix and silver filler were prepared by adhesive assembly of 0R0 resistors of the type 1206 on test boards that made four-point measurement of the joints resistance possible. The adhesives were applied by stencil printing. The joints were first exposed by 10 or 40 temperature shocks −40/+80 ° C. The exposure time of the samples at each temperature was 15 minutes; the time of the temperature change did not exceed 10 seconds. Then the joints were climatic treated at 80 °C and 80% relative humidity for 168 and 336 hours, respectively. It was inspected how the exposition of the joins by the temperature shocks will influence their resistance and and subsequently changing their resistance to climatic treatment. It was found that application of temperature shocks improved electrical conductivity of the joints formed of one adhesive and did not change properties of the joints made of the second one. An influence of the temperature shocks on the course of the climatic treatment of the joints was not found.

Presented findings referee to continuance of research of ceramic passive components (inductors and transformers). Paper presents design, fabrication and characterization results of three 3D micro-transformers fabricated inside combined ferrite-dielectric LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics)stack. Basic designed geometry consists of centrally connected three turn square overlapping windings (primary and secondary)placed on different tape layers of the formed LTCC stack. Transformers windings are placed on outer dielectric tapes and number of ferrite tapes in between is varied. Characterization is performed in lower RF range and results of transformer windings inductance and Q-factor are presented. It is shown that inductance and Q-factor values of primary winding do not vary much with increase of thickness of ferrite layer. However, increase of the same characteristics value of secondary winding is noticeable as number of in-between tapes increases (44% inductance and 25% Q-factor value of the secondary winding).

This paper is devoted to the research of the photocapacitor effect in A2B6 semiconductor crystals - CdS and CdTe monocrystals with needle structure. Unlike existing thin film monocrystals and bulk materials manufactured from CdS/CdTe, the monocrystals mentioned above have high photoconductivity (Rdark/Rlight = 104 and higher)and low lifetime of charge carriers (less than 1 ms). This feature allowed creating a variable depletion capacitance in the metal-semiconductor contact, its value can be reduced almost to the zero by generating photoelectrons near the contact region. The experimental results of the transmission of rectangular pulses through structures CdS-Indium and CdTe-Indium have been obtained. Irradiation intensity limits has been found, after which the depletion capacitance becomes insignificantly small compared to the diffusion capacity inside the photoconductive crystals.

This work is an important step in the building of a Checkpoint System - national system for monitoring and control of rolling stock during motion, for the needs of the railway infrastructure in Bulgaria. Implementation of the system ensures a high level of safety of train movements and prevention of railway incidents. A basic function of the whole system is the identification of unacceptable overheating of rolling stocks' components mainly wheel bearing assemblies and brake sets, and/or other components of a rail vehicle. The chosen approach involves the use of non-contact infrared temperature sensors. It can be used also thermal imaging cameras instead of individual temperature sensors, which increase the possibilities of the temperature status monitoring of the railway rolling stock. A concept, model and kit of a real-time system for thermal imaging have been developed and presented in the present paper. In order to optimize the efficiency of the overall system, a techno-economic analysis has been made.
