AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a chemical solution to dissolve adhesive tape without damaging GaN IC die. Acetone is suggested as it weakens or dissolves many adhesives, and soaking the tape in acetone overnight may be effective. Hexane is also mentioned as a potential option for dissolving the adhesive. The goal is to safely remove the tape while preserving the integrity of the IC die.

I put few IC die (GaN grown on Si ) in small plastic case on top of scotch tape so that it can't movie . Now I it firmly stuck on it. I try to move it physically by a niddle and twister and already broke one. I need a chemical which will dissolve the tape including adhesive but not the die. Would you please

So what's the proper chemical to dissolve/decompose adhesive tape?

Thanks for your help.

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
