However, because of the higher circuit density, the cooling of 3D chip stacks gets more challenging. In conventional cooling methods, a heat sink or a micro-channel cooler is located at the top of the chip to dissipate the generated heat in a chip. In this paper, possible cooling methods from the bottom of a silicon interposer and cooling from the peripheral of a silicon interposer were proposed and evaluated. Based on the experimentally obtained thermal resistance of lead-free (SnAg) interconnections, the cooling performances of the above two cooling solutions were investigated by modeling and the requirements were clarified.","PeriodicalId":111882,"journal":{"name":"2010 26th Annual IEEE Semiconductor Thermal Measurement and Management Symposium (SEMI-THERM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129325530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamic thermal behavior can be studied using either a transient pulsed boxcar or frequency domain approach, the latter including homodyne and heterodyne lock-in systems. Temporal scales in the nanosecond range can be resolved. The basic principles of the various methods are reviewed, and their associated advantages and drawbacks are compared. We also propose a novel heterodyne technique as an alternative to the 'four bucket' method that has been used so far. Our approach greatly reduces the timing complexity while eliminating a major source of systematic error.

However, increasing heat generation in microelectronics and the demand for increasingly compact devices has resulted in heat fluxes that are pushing the limit of conventional rotary fan air cooling technology. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) ionic wind pumps offer a possible solution. In this technique, applying a voltage to a sharp electrode ionizes air molecules, which are propelled by the electric field, transferring momentum to neutral air molecules, thus creating airflow and cooling. A previous paper discussed the successful integration of an EHD cooling system in a notebook computer. It demonstrated the benefits of EHD cooling technology including silence, high coefficient of performance and flexible form factor, and discussed key technical challenges for commercialization. In this paper, we focus on a concern shared by both fan and EHD cooling systems: the accumulation of dust particles, which can result in performance loss. The fundamental mechanisms of particle collection within an EHD system are discussed, and a numerical model for predicting dust deposition is presented and verified using experimental results.","PeriodicalId":111882,"journal":{"name":"2010 26th Annual IEEE Semiconductor Thermal Measurement and Management Symposium (SEMI-THERM)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124546047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Voice, data, and video services through fiber, copper and wireless media are all delivered to the end user by the access portion of the network. In an access network, thermal management of active electronics and optical devices are critical to network reliability and performance. The outside plant telecom enclosures provide environmental protection for both active electronics and optical devices. These enclosures must incorporate cooling systems that support thermal requirements of the electronic and optical components. In addition to the heat load from the electronics there is also solar loading on the cabinet, which needs to be taken into account when designing a cooling system. In order to reduce the solar loading, a double walled cabinet was shown to be an effective method. In this method, air is forced between the telecommunication cabinet and the outside wall. Although the air gap is effective in reducing the solar load, its thickness was found to be insignificant [1]. Thus to reduce the cabinet dimensions, double walled cabinets with smaller air gap are recommended. However, this may impact the energy consumption of the fan and may pose acoustic problems. Hence, a study was carried out for different fan configurations and the effect it had on cabinet temperature and energy consumed by the fans were studied. From the study it was found out that there was significant change in energy consumed by fans when their location is changed.","PeriodicalId":111882,"journal":{"name":"2010 26th Annual IEEE Semiconductor Thermal Measurement and Management Symposium (SEMI-THERM)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116914773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For better reliability and improved cooling efficiency, it is important to achieve a lower peak temperature and a more uniform thermal field under all workload or utilization conditions.

This paper presents the concepts of characteristic length and cooling circle as an approximate measure for the extent of heat spreading in beam and in flat thin plate geometries. Beam and flat thin plate geometries are widely used by mechanical designers, and being able to assess how much of the geometry is actually thermally affected by a heat source is of great value in thermal decision making and communication. For both geometries an application is discussed and compared to CFD simulations to assess the validity of the approach.","PeriodicalId":111882,"journal":{"name":"2010 26th Annual IEEE Semiconductor Thermal Measurement and Management Symposium (SEMI-THERM)","volume":"232 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133529249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
