• Conductivity of high-temperature annealed silicon direct wafer bonds 

      Schjølberg-Henriksen, Kari; Tvedt, Lars Geir Whist; Gjelstad, Stein Are; Mørk, Christopher; Moe, Sigurd T.; Imenes, Kristin; Poppe, Erik; Wang, Dag Thorstein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Silicon direct wafer bonding is a process with many application areas. Depending on the application, perfect insulation or negligible resistance is desired across the bonded interface. We have investigated the resistivity ...
    • Electrical, Mechanical, and Hermetic Properties of Low-Temperature, Plasma Activated Direct Silicon Bonded Joints 

      Schjølberg-Henriksen, Kari; Malik, Nishant; Gundersen, Elin Vold; Christiansen, Oscar Rincon; Imenes, Kristin; Fournel, Frank; Moe, Sigurd T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The electrical, mechanical, and hermeticity properties of low-temperature, plasma activated direct silicon bonds were investigated. On individual dies with a bonding area ranging from 1–4 mm2, the bonded interface was found ...
    • New Encapsulation Concepts for Medical Ultrasound Probes – A Heat Transfer Simulation Study 

      Do, Nu Bich Duyen; Andreassen, Erik; Edwardsen, Stephen; Lifjeld, Anders; Nguyen, Hoang-Vu; Aasmundtveit, Knut; Imenes, Kristin (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Thermal management is important for medical ultrasound probes to maintain optimal performance, reliability, and lifetime of the devices, as well as to avoid heat-induced damage to the patients’ tissue. This paper presents ...
    • Thermal management of an interventional medical device with double layer encapsulation 

      Do, Nu Bich Duyen; Andreassen, Erik; Edwardsen, Stephen; Lifjeld, Anders; Aasmundtveit, Knut; Nguyen, Hoang-Vu; Imenes, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This paper presents a thermal study of a double-layer encapsulation for an interventional medical device, which operates temporarily inside the human esophagus for cardiac imaging. The surface temperature of test samples, ...
