Chapter 4 — Ceramics, Glass, and Semiconductors Ceramic behavior · glass strengthening · doping · the CHIPS Act (Weeks 9–10)

Tool 1 · Strengthened-Glass Simulator

Will the flaw grow? Surface compression vs. applied bending

A surface flaw grows only when NET surface stress goes into tension. All glass strengthening = surface compression.

Tool 2 · Sintering Shrinkage Calculator

Size the green part so the fired part comes out right

green size = final size / (1 − shrinkage)

Result appears here.

Drill · n-type or p-type?

Choose the doping outcome for each situation.
