In this thesis, the contact behavior of the conduct particles in the anisotropic conductive film (ACF) packaging process is investigated. The thermal elastic-plastic finite element (FE) model is employed to simulate the contact process. The commercial MARC finite element method package is used in this work. Two contact models of the ACF packaging are studied : the single particle and the multiple-particles models. In the single particle model a simple axial symmetric FE model is used to simulate the variation of elastic-plastic deformations during packaging process. The effect of coating thickness on the contact deformation is discussed. To explore the effect of particle distribution on the contact deformation and the conduct behavior in the ACF packaging, the multiple-particles 3D model has also been studied. However, to overcome the computing difficulties introduced from huge degrees of freedom, the equivalent nonlinear springs are employed to stand for some conductive particles. The effect of particle distribution and particle parameters on the conductive behavior are studied. Results indicate that the conductive particle parameters may affect the conductive characteristics significantly in the ACF packaging process.

The thin film deposition system using ultrasonic nebulization was adopted in this study. SnCl4.5H2O, SbCl3, and TaCl5 were used as solutes. Ethanol was used as the solvent. Solutions of different Sn4+ concentration, Sb concentration (Sb/Sn atomic ratio) in Sn, and Ta concentration (Ta/Sn atomic ratio) in Sn were mixed. The mist was generated from a solution by the agitation of an ultrasonic device operating at about 1.65MHz. The mist was carried to the heated substrate (corning 7059 glass) by the flow of nitrogen gas so that it was decomposed by heat. SnO2-x films were deposited on the substrate due to the pyrolysis reaction. The experiment included six series: Sn4+ concentration series, Sb-doping series, temperature series, Ta-doping series, aging time series and nebulization rate series. SnO2-x films were analyzed by XRD, UV-Visible, SEM, and Hall-measurement. The optimum deposition conditions were obtained through analyses of these six series. The film deposition rate of nonaged solution was faster than aged solution. When the nebulization rate of solution was 1.6 ml/min, the resistivity of undoped SnO2 film obtained with the substrate kept at 450 oC is 2.364¡Ñ10-2£[-cm and the maximum transmittance of the visible light is 78.7%. When Sb/Sn atomic ratio in the solution was 2%, the resistivity of Sb doped SnO2 film obtained with the substrate kept at 525 oC is 2.77¡Ñ10-3£[-cm and the maximum transmittance of the visible light is 71% . When Ta/Sn atomic ratio in the solution was 0.1%, the resistivity of Ta doped SnO2 film obtained with the substrate kept at 450 oC is 3.917¡Ñ10-2£[-cm and the maximum transmittance of the visible light is 85% In this study, the electro-optical properties of Sb and Ta doped SnO2 thin films derived from an ultrasonic nebulization process were reported and discussed carefully through film characterizations.

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Tecnologia/Química, 2016. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de apresentar um novo material com característica condutora, obtido a partir da eletrooxidação do fármaco cloridrato de amiodarona. Foram utilizados o eletrodo de carbono impresso, eletrodo de platina, carbono vítreo e diamante dopado com boro (DDB) e a técnica de voltametria cíclica para a deposição do material. O material depositado foi caracterizado aplicando-se a técnica de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) que possibilitou a visualização do material depositado nos diferentes materiais dos eletrodos. Com o uso da Espectroscopia de Energia Dispersiva (EDS), obteve-se uma análise química qualitativa do filme aderido ao eletrodo de carbono impresso, que indicou a presença de átomos de iodo, elemento presente na molécula de cloridrato de amiodarona, confirmando a deposição do fármaco estudado. A análise por UV-vis também confirmou a adesão do material, quando dissolvido em N-metil-2-Pirrolidona. Análises de ângulo de contato indicaram o caráter mais hidrofílico do material, quando comparado com o substrato não modificado. Finalmente, pôde-se concluir que ocorreu a formação de um filme condutor oriundo da molécula de cloridrato de amiodarona. / The aim of this work was to synthesize a new conductive material from the drug amiodarone hydrochloride. Several carbonaceous materials were used as substrate, as glassy carbon, boron-doped diamond and screen-printed carbon electrode. Platinum electrodes were also used with the same purpose. All synthesized materials were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), which enabled the visualization of the modifications for all studied materials. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) were used to promote the qualitative analysis of the samples, indicating the presence of iodine atoms, an element present in the original amiodarone molecule. UV-vis spectroscopy also confirmed the adhesion of the material. Contact angle analysis indicates that the modification has the surface more hydrophobic than the pristine material. Finally, it was possible to conclude that a conductor film from amiodarone hydrochloride was adequately synthesized in all studied substrates.
