Introduction Miniaturization, integration of functionality, and the increase of clock speed are recognized business drivers in the electronics industry today. Consequences are the fast increase in power dissipation leading to higher heat fluxes, higher temperatures and larger temperature gradients. Handling these effects makes it more difficult to stay cost competitive, because … [Read more...]
Highly emissive ion beam textured surfaces for improved cooling of electronic devices
Continuous improvements in the cooling of electronic systems will berequired to keep pace with the rapid development of higher power chips.Currently, effective cooling relies (in part) on high surface area heatexchangers. Further improvements could be realized by increasing thesurface area of these devices. However, increasing the size of heatexchanger components is not a … [Read more...]
