thermal expansion

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am trying to study the expansion of copper deposited on silicon wafer when heated in a furnace in thermal cycles. for example, if I set my furnace to increase the temperature by 10 C per minute until it reaches 150 C after that it cools down to 60 C at same rate and again it heats up at same rate. It continues for 5 hours. And finally I want to study the deformation/expansion in copper deposited on silicon wafer. How to simulate it in COMSOL?

Hello Umesh,
The busbar tutorial featured in the Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics manual, version 5.2, illustrates how to set up a model with thermal expansion. Please note that it requires that your license carry either the Structural Mechanics Module or the MEMS Module.
All manuals are accessed through the File > Help >Documentation menu.
Best,
Jeff
