The invention relates to a process and a measuring apparatus for determining the friction characteristics of sheet metal during forming. The chip is secured to the base member not only by the adhesive but also by the package. The doping andor alloying may be implemented in a large area coating system, e. The foliage is medium to dark green and semi-glossy and contrasts nicely with the multi-colored blossoms. The rows of bonding pads and probe pads extend along parallel axis around all four sides of the integrated circuit.
