The integration of CFRP materials into automotive designs presents challenges related to compatibility, performance, and safety, necessitating a careful transition from a Chromolly tubular space frame to a CFRP monocoque. Key considerations include determining the optimal geometry for suspension, aerodynamic features, and the placement of components like the battery pack and sensors, all while adhering to FSAE safety protocols. Additionally, decisions regarding the production method—whether to use preimpregnated carbon fibers or an injection method—must be made early to facilitate timely production. The development process involves creating molds and plugs from suitable materials, ensuring that all assemblies can be connected without compromising structural integrity, and maintaining strict adherence to budget constraints and sourcing of materials.
The project was dedicated to production yield improvement in microchip manufacturing. The bumps are created on the top of a wafer and used for the final test of all dies. Only good dies are taken for the packaging. All dies that fail the test will be scrapped. The process yield depends on the amount of "good" and "bad" dies. It was revealed that in some cases, the time between the end of the process and the final test impacts the yield. The longer the dwelling, the more dies fail the final test. If the dwelling exceeds hundreds of hours, the amount of failed dies becomes dramatically high, which results in the scrapping of the whole wafer. The problem was analyzed and solved.
Flash heating of a wafer is widely used in microchip manufacturing. The purpose of the process is to prevent the diffusion of ions and atoms. During the flash process, a wafer breakage occurs. The project's purpose is to learn and understand the mechanism of the wafer breakage and propose the solutions to prevent the wafer breakage
