Description: This book was created from invited lectures and conference contributions of the "Metallography & Fractography 2022" conference, which is featured as an essential event for the presentation of results achieved in materials science and engineering. The conference participants come from universities, academic research institutions and different branches of industry with an interest in materials science and engineering. The conference also has strong support from companies that are experts in unique experimental equipment. The conference's ambition is regularly to expand the program to cover new approaches, new advanced materials and technologies, new findings in fundamental research and practical production, and to intensify international contacts.

Description:

The world population keeps increasing, and this growth has enormously impacted the environment negatively. Researchers all over the world have continually seeking different ways by which the negative impact of the global increasing population can be minimized including developing new technologies to accommodate the high population. The use of plastic has increased, wastes are taking land spaces, which could be used for other purposes such as building and farming, water bodies are been polluted leading to poor access to portable water, and food shortage has been experienced in many communities. The research presented in this book cut across Machine Design, Technologies of Environmental Engineering and Bioprocessing, Materials and Technologies in Construction, Information and Communication Technologies, and Engineering and Project Management. These researches if implemented would go a long way in providing sustainable and lasting solutions to these challenges.

Description: The 35th volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" includes peer-reviewed manuscripts describing the engineering solutions and results of research dealing with actual problems in applied materials science, mechanical engineering, building engineering, applied mechanics, power engineering and engineering management. Published articles will be useful for professionals and for students and academic staff for the mentioned areas of engineering.

Description: Interest in the phenomenon of superplasticity has been increasing steadily, both from the viewpoint of fundamental scientific understanding as well as of industrial application. The scope of superplasticity has also broadened materials-wise, and now includes, in addition to metals: intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses, nanostructured materials and composites. The objective of this special collection was to provide an international forum through which to gather up-to-date knowledge and information on a wide range of topics and to encourage further developments in superplasticity. Over 64 peer-reviewed papers have been selected for publication.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The volume is divided into the following chapters: Mechanisms of Superplasticity, Superplastic Materials, Design, Testing and Modelling, Processing, Industrial Applications. Altogether, the contents constitute a timely and invaluable guide to the state-of-the-art of superplasticity.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume covers various aspects of ultra-clean technology for the large-scale integration of semiconductors. These include cleaning and contamination control in both front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) processing, as well as cleaning for semiconductor photo-voltaic applications. Also covered are studies of general topics such as particle removal using acoustic enhancement, the removal of metallic contamination, pattern collapse of fine flexible and fragile features, wetting and drying, contamination control and contamination metrology. The FEOL and BEOL contributions also treat the surface chemistry of silicon and other semiconductors, cleaning related to new gate stacks, cleaning at the interconnect level, resist strip and polymer removal, cleaning and contamination control for various new materials and cleaning following CMP (chemical mechanical polishing).

Description: The original use of superplastic materials involved mainly applications involving aluminium and titanium. However, discoveries made all over the globe have led to the development of superplastic ceramics, intermetallics, nano-materials, plastics, glasses and other substances.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The contents of this publication include every conceivable issue related to contamination, cleaning and surface preparation during mainstream large-scale integrated circuit manufacture. Typically, silicon is used as the main semiconductor substrate. However, other semiconducting materials such as SiGe and SiC are currently being used in the source-sink junction areas, and materials such as Ge and III-V compounds are being considered for the transistor channel region of future-generation devices.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This very special volume on ‘Advanced Structural and Functional Materials for Protection’ focuses on the choice of materials intended for the specific task of protecting civilians and soldiers against the effects of blast, fragmentation weapons and unconventional attacks, and also covers multi-functional materials intended for the enhancement of soldier performance. Protective materials represent one of the greatest challenges to synthesis and processing; due to the extreme requirements of the application.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection of 86 peer-reviewed papers covers all aspects of the use of ultra-clean technology for large-scale integration on semiconductors, and cleaning and contamination-control in both front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) processing.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book is sub-divided into 10 different topical sections; each dealing with important issues in surface cleaning and preparation.
