(a) A nanostructured interface material is used around the module; (b) a nanostructured interface material is used between the thermoelectric material and metal leads. Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and researchers from Stanford University have developed a novel combination of elements that yields a nanostructure material for packaging. The advance could mean … [Read more...]
LED Lighting Reference Designs with IC Houses
Working closely with various IC manufacturers, Wurth Electronics Midcom released several new transformers and inductors designed for LED lighting applications. These components maximize operational efficiency while maintaining a compact size for small form factor circuit board construction. All transformers for these semiconductors are designed for low leakage inductance. This … [Read more...]
Analysis System Ensures Optimal Heat Sink Efficiency
The new Tactilus® heat-sink analysis system by Sensor Products Inc. enables research and design engineers to quickly and precisely test and correct the surface contact and pressure distribution between the heat sink and semiconductor. With Tactilus, engineers can visualize actual contact forces and pressure distribution data on the circuit board components. As the mounting … [Read more...]
Reinforced TIM Integrates Nylon Mesh Layer
Fujipoly released Sarcon 100GR-FL, a low resistance, durable thermal interface gap filler pad. The gel-like material is manufactured with an integrated nylon mesh layer that prevents distortion and stretching during die-cut operations. When placed between a heat source such as a high-performance semiconductor and a nearby heat sink, Sarcon 100GR-FL will transfer heat with a … [Read more...]
Making Sure Your Chips Don’t Burn
Researchers at the Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork in Ireland have found a new way of cooling semiconductors in computers, mobiles and games consoles to improve their performance and reduce energy consumption. Most computers have thermal interface materials (TIM) to join the chip with the heat sink, with solder or a thin, film-like sheet. Solder is … [Read more...]
