As part of the knowledge engineering task, I am interested in 1) Information about a failure or reliability problem known to be (at least partially) attributable to coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch. 2) How the problem was resolved 3) Any other "tricks of the trade" regarding electronics design to circumvent these problems Response by E-mail is appreciated, but posting response is fine. Thanks in advance... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don Patterson \\\ INTERNET : dmp@epg.harris.com Harris Corporation \\\ UUCP : ...!uunet!x102a!dpatterson Engineering Productivity Group \\\ VOICE : (407) 727-6058
