Thermal interface materials (TIMs), applied between the die and a heat spreader form a crucial thermal junction between the first level package and external cooling mechanisms such as heat-sinks and cooling fans. Selection of a good TIM is dependent not only on its thermal properties but also on its ability to withstand mechanical stresses in an electronic package. In the past, FEM models have been applied to obtain the stresses and strains in the TIM using time-independent analysis. However, there has only been limited work in extending these models to predict the damage (both mechanical and thermal) in a TIM during thermo-cyclic loading. Our current work presents a technique to predict the thermal damage in TIMs over cyclic loading. Calibrated finite element analysis models have been created to predict accurate TIM strains in thermal test-vehicles. These predicted mechanical strains are then correlated with experimentally observed thermal degradation and finally, a phenomenological model is developed which predicts the thermal performance of an electronic package during cyclic loading.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"5 1","pages":"240-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80525481","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}

{"title":"Cooling heat flux, COP, and cost optimization of integrated thermoelectric microcoolers with variation of thermoelectric properties","authors":"Y. Koh, K. Yazawa, A. Shakouri","doi":"10.1109/ITHERM.2014.6892445","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ITHERM.2014.6892445","url":null,"abstract":"Thermoelectric (TE) microcoolers are solid state devices widely considered as strong candidates for precise temperature control and spot cooling in microelectronic circuits, especially for temperature sensitive devices such as laser diodes. Despite the excellent scalability and process compatibility of TE microcoolers for microelectronics, their utilization has been limited by their relatively moderate performance compared to vapor compression cycles due to the relatively small material figure-of-merit (ZT). In addition to crucial advantage of TE for a hotspot cooling, improving the ZT value of thermoelectric material has been the focus of research interest over the past few decades. Yet the independent impacts of three components of the ZT value have not been very clear. In this paper, we report the material cost impact of TE microcooler integration and coefficient-ofperformance (COP) change relative to modifications of the electrical conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient, and the thermal conductivity. This study is mostly focused on high heat-flux spot cooling based on the analysis of a practical TE microcooler integrated with a microchannel heat sink. Based on a one-dimensional analytic model, including the system thermal resistances, we maximize the cooling COP as functions of the drive current and the design thickness of a TE element. An example demonstrates the cooling performance for a 500 μm x 500 μm size integrated circuit with a temperature constraint of 65 °C maximum and an operating temperature of 74 °C for the heat sink. Increasing the ZT value linearly increases the maximum COP for a given temperature constraint and the maximum COP changes equally by varying any of the thermoelectric properties as expected. For the same ZT value, however, a lower thermal conductivity requires a thinner TE element for a design optimized for COP, e.g. changing the thermal conductivity from 1.5 W/mK to 0.75 W/mK reduces the optimum thickness from approximately 9 μm to 5 μm for 100 W/cm2 of heat flux. This result is encouraging for the utilization of TE for spot cooling since the TE cost directly relates to the mass usage of the material.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"30 1","pages":"1412-1416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84872681","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}

While techniques have been developed to alleviate these local effects, they are typically advanced solutions using embedded cooling devices. Instead, an effective, less aggressive solution involves the adaptation of traditional micro-channel cooling to the particular thermal profile. An analytical method is developed to determine individual channel flow rates and convective heat transfer through traditional correlations. This results in a simple power law relating passage diameter, D, to hot spot power, q, where D ~ qm. Unfortunately, this method is limited by the form of the empirical correlations, being applicable to only certain ranges of Reynolds numbers and channel sizes. To address this issue, a series of computational simulations has been conducted to select the appropriate power law for typical flow conditions in a micro-channel heat sink. For laminar, developing flow at ReD ~ 100, an empirical fit was generated. At an arbitrary, non-uniform chip power dissipation, the device temperature rises balanced to within less than 5%, even with up to three times more power at local spots.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"404 1","pages":"641-648"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77462886","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}

Instead, the cooling is provided by a closed system employing an air-water (fin-tube) heat exchanger. This kind of heat exchanger uses chilled water from a central plant, and there is the potential of using the waste heat that is returned. The goal of this study is characterize a specific sealed-door, water-cooled server cabinet under steady state and transient operation. The experimental part of the study is being performed on a Knurr CoolThermTM® rack. In this cabinet, the water/air heat exchanger is located at the bottom. Cooling air is circulated by three rear door mounted fans, the cooled air flows upward in front of the servers. The specific cabinet being tested has the capability to handle 25 kW and has a 30% cooling system energy efficiency. In the experiments, 16 1U servers and a 9U load bank are employed for generating a heat load. Over 100 thermocouples are used to monitor air temperature within different parts of the cabinet. The operating conditions monitored include: water flow rate, water inlet temperature, air flow rate through the servers, air flow rate through the heat exchanger, air temperatures and server power. The internal temperature of the servers is also monitored. From the measured data, the effectiveness is calculated for four different water flow rates and different power dissipation levels. Computational modeling of the air flow and heat transfer in a simplified model of the cabinet is also performed.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"122 1","pages":"723-728"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73133362","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}

Micro channel coolers are now widely used in high power laser diode industry with the highest total thermal resistance reported as low as 0.03 cm2-K/W with pressure drops as low as 10~50 psi. Since, the geometries, flow rates as well as high heat fluxes of current SOA LD micro-coolers differ, it is necessary to understand their thermal performance relative to conductive, convective and caloric thermal resistance. To do this comparison an equivalent effective micro-cooler thermal model is developed and then iterated with scaled input parameters from SOA LD micro-coolers. The objective is to identify the dominant thermal resistance - that plays the major role in decreasing the total thermal resistance. This paper will then predict a micro cooler that will perhaps be able to reduce total thermal resistance lower than 0.01 K-cm2/W with minimal pressure drop for next generation high heat flux applications. The current study will be restricted to only single phase liquid cooling.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"519 1","pages":"59-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77186539","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}

However, LED research and development is limited by Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) LM-80-08. This standard reliability test, which is utilized by most LED companies, is time-consuming and prolongs time-to-market. LEDs are degraded by various types of stresses, including temperature, current, and optical stresses. Thus, this study proposes an accelerated aging test for high-power LEDs under different high-temperature stresses without input current. 1-W LEDs based on gallium nitride (GaN) from the same series were obtained as test samples. At the beginning of the accelerated aging test, the device structure is presumably known. This test aims to (i) extrapolate the degradation model to accurately estimate lifetime; and (ii) propose a method to shorten IES LM-80-08 and TM-21-11, which last for a minimum of 6000 h. The results of the accelerated aging test show that sufficiently high-temperature stress effectively shortens the unstable period of the LED chip. During aging, light output degraded as well, and the activation energy of the degradation process was 0.65 eV. This value was obtained by applying the Arrhenius model as the prediction model for the lumen maintenance and temperature of the LED. The LED lifetime estimated by the prediction model varied from that projected by the experimental method by only 10%.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"8 1","pages":"178-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75997977","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}

This paper analyzes the packaging industry's transition from 2D to 3D integration of packages. Literature focused on manufacturability, materials of interest, geometrical dimensions, market trends, and customer focus is discussed in detail. The utilization of TSV packages in high power and high temperature products is the research area still to be explored. Hence, existing simulation data is extrapolated to high power die dimensions to analyze the effect of package dimensions on the thermo-mechanical behavior of TSV power die. Furthermore, a basic thermo-mechanical model of a Cu-filled TSV passive interposer is studied under high power and high temperature field conditions. Multiple cases are simulated to study the effect of TSV dimensions and material properties on the thermo-mechanical behavior of power packages.

A server compatible Liquid Metal Thermal Interface (LMTI) [1] was developed and integrated to improve the thermal conduction path of the hot server components to the ambient cooling of the data center. This LMTI has a thermal resistance an order of magnitude better than that achieved with most commercially utilized thermal interface materials (TIMs). When integrated directly between a bare die and a water cooled heat sink, this technology achieved a significant improvement in thermal conduction and enabled the computer devices to operate in a much higher ambient temperature environment. Initial studies on single modules showed substantial improvement in operating temperature when utilizing LMTI. Based upon this result, a detailed study was completed using two liquid cooled System X 3550 servers, comparing the thermal performance between the commercial thermal solution of a standard lidded module interfaced with a thermal grease to a cold plate, and the solution where the lid was removed and LMTI was used between the bare die and the same cold plate. The servers were first characterized using bench top investigation and then in a Data Center Liquid Cooled System with the standard lidded module and subsequently reassembled with a direct die attach LMTI. The servers CPU core temperatures showed a 5 to 6 °C advantage in CPU core temperature for the direct attach LMTI compared to the standard lidded module with thermal grease.","PeriodicalId":12453,"journal":{"name":"Fourteenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"87 1","pages":"729-735"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79425571","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}
