Abstract

The bottleneck of an electronic, photonic, MEMS or MOEMS (optical MEMS) system's reliability is, as is known, the mechanical ("physical") performance of its materials and structural elements [1,2] and not its functional (electrical or optical) performance, as long as the latter is not affected by the mechanical behavior of the design. It is well known also that it is the packaging technology that is the most critical undertaking, when making a viable, properly protected and effectively-interconnected electrical or optical device and package into a reliable product.
