Diffusion, Deformation, and Damage in Lithium-Ion Batteries and Microelectronics

This thesis explores mechanical behavior of microelectronic devices and lithium-ion batteries. We first examine electromigration-induced void formation in solder bumps by constructing a theory that couples electromigration and creep. The theory can predict the critical current density below which...
