Description/Abstract:
SLUG WARPING IS CONSDIERED AS A FUNCTION OF LOCALIZED DEFORMATION UNDER AN INITIAL STRESS. AFTER THE PRIMARY STRESS IS RELIEVED, THE LOCALIZED DEFORMATION CAUSES A SECOUNDARY STRESS THAT RESULTS IN A PERMANENT DEFORMATION. GROSS EFFECTS ARE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL. SINCE THESE EFFECTS ARE FUNCTIONS OF PHYSICAL SIZE, IT IS PROPOSED THAT SLUGS BE FABRICATED FROM SMALLER MECHANICAL UNITS SUCH AS WAFERS, CONES, AND SPOOLS.
