Jesse Galloway and Ted Okpe Amkor Technology One of the more challenging thermal resistance measurements to make for electronic packages is the junction-to-case resistance called Theta jc. The equation for Theta jc, equation (1), is straightforward. However, the difficulty lies in making an accurate case temperature, Tc, without affecting the junction temperature, Tj, and the … [Read more...]
Estimating the Thermal Interaction between Multiple Side-by-Side Chips on a Multi-Chip Package
Je-Young Chang and Ashish Gupta Intel Corporation INTRODUCTION Integration using multi-chip packaging (MCP) is an effective and popular technology option to increase transistor density in one component by integrating two or more dice or other discrete components on a common substrate. For accurate thermal analyses of MCPs, thermal interactions between active components need … [Read more...]

Mentor Graphics Corporation has released the new MicReD Industrial Power Tester 1,500A for power cycling and thermal testing of electronics components to simulate and measure lifetime performance. The MicReD Industrial Power Tester 1500A is ideal for reliability testing of power electronic components used in industries such as automotive and transportation including in hybrid … [Read more...]
Researchers Pinpoint Heat Movement in Nanostructures
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a new method of precisely measuring the subtle movement of heat in nanostructures. Heat flows at the nanoscale differently than at larger scales, the researchers say, and understanding how certain surfaces affect the transport of heat at the phonon level could have implications in everything from thermoelectric materials to … [Read more...]
TTI Analyzers Offer Low-Cost Solution for Non-Invasive Thermal Design Verification
Microsanj, a supplier of high-resolution thermoreflectance thermal imaging systems, tools and consulting services, has announced the availability of its NT100/NT110 thermoreflectance thermal image analyzers starting at $45,000.
