This course introduces students to the basic concepts of shaping materials and their impacts on properties and structure. An introduction to the fundamentals of diffusion in a solid follows. We present different types of diffusion mechanisms and their dependence on temperature. The role of dislocation on mechanical properties and how it can be used to strengthen materials will be shown.

Semiconductor devices require very precise control of the properties of the materials that are used for the devices. In this module, we learn about shape and property control of materials, dislocations, and strengthening mechanisms.
What's included
4 videos8 readings1 discussion prompt
Metal alloys are used for interconnections (and for chip-substrate joins) in semiconductor technology. Strengthening mechanisms are used to enhance the strength and reliability of such interconnects. In this module, we discuss the different kinds of strengthening mechanisms for metals and their alloys.
