A Non-Contact Measurement Method for Thin Vapor Chambers by Photonic Technologies
Introduction In recent years, integrated circuit chips have enabled increasingly powerful computing capabilities as advanced process nodes have moved from DUV (deep ultra-violet) to EUV (extreme ultra-violet) lithography, allowing for higher fabrication resolution and transistor density. Additionally, advanced multi-die packaging has seen increased market demand. As a … [Read more...]
Design Considerations for Chip/Package Level Bare Die Impingement Cooling for High Performance Computation Systems
Introduction of Bare-Die Jet Cooling in Package With the rising demand for more powerful, efficient, high-performance computation (HPC) systems, power densities of devices have increased dramatically. To cope with the increasing heat flux challenge for future data center servers beyond 1 kW/cm2, efficient liquid cooling solutions are needed to address those thermal … [Read more...]
Why Low Gassing Adhesives Matter
The aerospace, electronic, and optical industries often involve environments where outgassing from adhesives can pose significant challenges. When exposed to vacuum or elevated temperatures, conventional adhesives may release volatile compounds, leading to contamination or performance degradation of sensitive components. To mitigate these risks, engineers might consider low … [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...]
