  • Abstract
    A new approach for fracture characterization of a particular case study on silicon die crack is presented. It consists of four phases - visual inspection, molecular dynamics, finite element method and experiment. This work aims to use these techniques to investigate and provide a theoretical explanation and analysis of the physical failure modes and mechanisms involved, from the molecular to package level.
