About the Lab

Our research group focuses on mechanics-related subjects of advanced packaging and thin films: adhesion, deformation, fracture, fatigue, reliability, and stress-strain-induced multiphysics phenomena for the following applications.

Microelectronics (HBM, NAND flash, DRAM, and other semiconductor packages), flexible display, fuel cell, solar cell, battery, electronic packaging, encapsulation, dry transfer, tensile / bending / folding / adhesion tests.

Research Areas

Six directions bridging mechanics and microelectronics.
