Introduction As power-component technology advances and smaller packaging is required, thermal-management issues threaten to limit the performance of devices. As power dissipation rises, the inability to cool them may force designers to de-rate the devices’ performance by reducing current or switching speed and/or employing higher-voltage devices that are less efficient and … [Read more...]
Utilizing Laser Flash in Combination with Finite Element Modeling to Analyze Thermal Conductivity of Interfaces and Layers within Complex Structures
Abstract The utility of the laser flash thermal conductivity measurement can be greatly expanded to more complex structures by modeling laser flash results using Finite Element Models. This approach is illustrated using a test fixture with 4 heat sinks, where heat spreading is a significant factor. If traditional 1D thermal diffusion models for laser flash are used, thermal … [Read more...]
