This is the first book that can be considered a textbook on thin film science, complete with exercises at the end of each chapter. Ohring has contributed many highly regarded reference books to the AP list, including Reliability and Failure of Electronic Materials and the Engineering Science of Thin Films. The knowledge base is intended for science and engineering students in advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate level courses on thin films and scientists and engineers who are entering or require an overview of the field.

Since 1992, when the book was first...

Suitable as a reference work for reliability professionals or as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate students, this book introduces the reader to the widely dispersed reliability literature of microelectronic and electronic-optional devices. Reliability and Failure of Electronic Materials and Devices integrates a treatment of chip and packaging level failures within the context of the atomic mechanisms and models used to explain degradation, and the statistical handling of lifetime data. Electromigration, dielectric radiation damage and the mechanical failure of contacts and...

Solutions Manual to Accompany Engineering Materials Science provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of materials science. This book presents a compilation of solutions to a variety of problems or issues in engineering materials science.

Organized into 15 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the approximate added value in a contact lens manufactured from a polymer. This text then examines several problems based on the electron energy levels for various elements. Other chapters explain why the lattice constants of materials can be determined with extraordinary...
