Dirk Schweitzer, Infineon Technologies AG, Am Campeon 1-12, 85579 Neubiberg, Germany dirk.schweitzer@infineon.com Introduction To accurately compute the thermal resistance of a layered structure, such as the Junction-to-Case thermal resistance of a power semiconductor, the heat spreading inside the structure has to be considered. The calculation of the spreading resistance is … [Read more...]

An Additive Design Methodology for Heatsink Geometry Topology Identification
Introduction Established heatsink manufacturing processes such as extrusion, casting and milling constrain the achievable topology and geometry of the heatsink. The advent of metallic 3D printing (additive manufacture) processes such as selective laser melting (SLM) may remove many of these constraints, forcing the designer to reconsider the approach taken to determine a … [Read more...]
University Produces Smart Compliers to Assist Research During ‘Dark Silicon’ Era
Researchers from Lancaster University believe a ‘dark silicon’ era is rapidly approaching. This era suggests more than 80 percent of computer processors’ transistors will be turned off and ‘remain dark’ in order to prevent the chips from overheating. “Hardware design is rapidly evolving to prevent this need to 'power down' transistors and coming up with innovative solutions. … [Read more...]
LED Displays Added to Clothing; New Opportunities for Wearables
A team of researchers from Holst Centre at Ghent University have produced the world’s first stretchable thin-film transistor driven by LED display which is laminated into textiles. This new discovery paves the way for LED displays in wearable clothing. “Wearable devices such as healthcare monitors and activity trackers are now a part of everyday life for many people. Today's … [Read more...]
