Mentor Graphics is offering a new web-based tool for thermal characterization and design of semiconductor packages. FloTHERM® IC reduces the time spent on thermal characterization and design by providing an automated process that includes pre-verified thermal models to reduce the risk of modeling errors. The tool can also achieve reductions of up to 25 percent in the time … [Read more...]
High Thermal Conductivity Mounting Tape
MH&W International’s Keratherm KL 90 is a highly thermally conductive, double-sided adhesive tape. It provides 1.4 W/mK of thermal conductivity – nearly three times higher than other thermal tapes – for more effective heat transfer from hot components to heat sinks. The new tape’s thermal impedance is 208oC-mm2/W (0.32oK-in2/W). The tape consists of a ceramic-filled acrylic … [Read more...]
