Study Notes
Examination Details
- Course: BENG (Hons) Mechanical Engineering, Level 6, Analysis of Materials and Structures
- Exam Type: Phase Test, Sample Paper
- Duration: 75 minutes
- Instructions: Answer all six questions. Non-programmable calculators permitted.
- Questions: Six questions are included on the exam (see details below for specific questions).
Question 3: Semiconductor Manufacturing
- Objective: Identify parameters to control in semiconductor manufacturing for high yields, and potential failures if these parameters aren't controlled.
- Key Parameters: High yield semiconductor manufacturing requires precise control across the entire wafer process (uniform processing from edge to edge), temperature, dopant levels (for diffusion/etching), temperature of doping stages, and uniform etching.
- Potential Failures (Possible Consequences of Poor Control): Uniformity of processing is critical or yields will be lower, incorrect temperature or failing to control etching/diffusion leads to inconsistent results. Inconsistent doping stages may lead to incorrect doping levels and yields are affected.
Question 4: Electronic Device Manufacturing in Silicon
- Objective: List main challenges (technological and economic) in manufacturing electronic devices on silicon.
- Technological Challenges: Need for highly controlled processes across the entire wafer surface for high yields; control of temperature, etching, and pattern creation.
- Economic Challenges: Well-controlled processes at large scale often require significant investment in expensive equipment for manufacturing electronic devices on silicon.
Question 5: Internal Forces in a Beam
- Objective: Determine internal normal force, shear force, and moment at a specific point (point D) in a simply supported beam.
- Context: A simply supported beam with an applied 5 kN force and distributed load along it's length.
- Methods: Calculating internal forces and moments often involve using equilibrium equations (ΣF = 0) and (ΣM = 0)
Question 6: Stress in a Curved Steel Rod
- Objective: Calculate the normal stresses produced at two specified points (points H and K) in a curved steel rod.
- Context: A curved steel rod with a load acting on it.
- Information Provided: The rod's diameter (15 mm), length of the rod segment (35 mm) and radius (175 mm), and the load (400 N).
