CAREER: Implantable Medical Devices: A Process-Modeling Approach to High Reliability Miniaturization

小行星9702285 医疗保健的进步为先进的微电子组件创造了不断增长的市场。目前，医疗用电子封装产品中要求最高的是植入式心脏起搏器和心脏起搏器。 这些产品需要具有保证性能的高度可靠的电子设备。 该研究项目旨在开发综合的热机械可靠性模型，该模型将考虑微电子器件的制造和组装过程。 这项研究的结果可以产生新一代更小尺寸和更轻重量的心脏起搏器，而不会影响可靠性。 研究活动将通过教育计划来平衡，以提高格鲁吉亚理工学院的研究生和本科生教育质量。该奖项将支持教师在其早期学术生涯中的多学科研究和教育活动。

9702285 Sitaraman Advances in medical care have generated a growing market for advanced microelectronics assemblies. Currently, the most demanding electronics packaging products for medical use are implantable cardiac defibrillators and pacemakers. These products necessitate a highly reliable electronics devices with guaranteed performance. This research project aims to develop comprehensive thermo-mechanical reliability models that would take into consideration the fabrication and assembly processes of microelectronics devices. The outcomes of this study could yield a new generation smaller-size and lower-weight cardiac defibrillators without compromising reliability. The research activities will be balanced by an education plan to improve quality of graduate and undergraduate education at Georgia Institute of Technology. This award will support multidisciplinary research and education activities for faculty in their early academic career years.
