We all understand that higher circuit density and increasingly compact microelectronic devices have created a need for more efficient cooling. Vapor chambers have emerged as a widely employed solution in some of the most demanding microelectronics applications. They are already found in high-performance computers, such as servers, workstations, and personal gaming desktops and … [Read more...]
Adding Function, Value, and Performance to Direct-to-Chip (DTC) Cold Plates With Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing

Building DTC cold plates with UAM could enhance performance and functionality.” The direction of Artificial intelligence and High Power Computing … [Read more...]
The Applicability of JESD51-14 for the Determination of Junction to Case Thermal Resistance
Rjc (or sometimes ThetaJC, θjc, Rth_jc), the so-called ‘junction to case’ thermal resistance, is a thermal metric that enables comparison of the thermal performance of packaged semiconductor devices from differing suppliers. The JEDEC standard JESD51-14 [1] documents a method for the experimental determination of Rjc. Although applicable for packages that exhibit a … [Read more...]
Tech Brief: Effect of Thermocouple Size
Thermocouples are widely used for temperature measurements. They are particularly useful in lab testing, due to their relatively low cost and the ability to easily fabricate thermocouples of specific lengths for a given test. This Tech Brief discusses issues related to the size of a thermocouple that may be considered when using them. A thermocouple consists of two wires made … [Read more...]
