| Abstract | In high power electronic modules for automobiles, several alumina circuit boards are soldered to a copper (Cu) plate. In this project, we look into iron as an alternative basis plate material. The use of iron (Fe) dates back to prehistoric times. Iron was made into various steels by adding other elements. The most popular steel is carbon steel. Steel of low carbon content of 0.1-0.2% is a trade-off among various properties and was chosen for this study. Compared to Cu, iron is less expensive (about 1/25 the price of Cu). It has lower CTE of 11.5 ppm/°C vs. 17 ppm/°C of Cu, higher melting point (1450-1540 °C), and higher tensile strength (635-696 MPa). The only downside is its fair thermal conductivity of 80.4 $W·m^{-1}·K^{-1}$ vs. 401 W·of Cu. However, in a module design, this lower thermal conductivity can be compensated using thinner plate and thinner solder layer. To adapt this alternative iron base plate, iron must be made solderable. In this project, fluxless tin soldering process on low carbon steel is developed. Si chips are bonded to low carbon steel plates. Si chips instead of alumina substrates are used because Si provides the largest CTE mismatch to demonstrate the structure survival at extreme case. The low carbon steel is well cleaned and polished. Nickel (Ni) is electroplated over the steel, followed by Sn solder layer. Si chips are e-beam evaporated with chromium (Cr) as adhesion layer and gold (Au) as capping layer. The two parts are held together and bonded in 100 millitorr vacuum. Quality and microstructure of the joints are examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Composition of the joints is studied with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Cross section SEM images exhibit high quality bonding. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
