Fractional-factorial process development techniques

摘要

The use of fractional-factorial main effects experimental design techniques have been used to transfer, develop and characterize many of the processes used in the fabrication of High-Energy-Density capacitors. This paper will present the approach and experimental methods used to evaluate several of these processes. The results win include main-effects experimental data from an assembly experiment, an arc-spray/pull test experiment, and a plating/pre-tinning experiment. An analysis of the results and technique will be presented. This analysis will highlight the advantages and disadvantages to this approach. A list of the lessons learned will also be included, especially those things that should be avoided.
