MEMS packages are likely to have a greater number of bond layers with more stringent requirements. The additional bond layers arise from multiple interfaces inside the package. The bond layers in MEMS devices often must maintain precise component or chip alignment. In addition, the bond layers may have to withstand loading from both the macroenvironment and loading within the package. This paper presents the bond requirements for a MEMS based Safety and Arming (S&A) device. The S&A system requires precise alignment between a micromachined silicon chip, a patterned Alumina ceramic chip, and a deflection delimiter. Several candidate designs were subjected to a series of environmental tests including thermal cycling, accelerated stress tests, mechanical shock, and combinations of the above conditions. A Scanning Acoustic Microscope (SAM) is utilized to measure initial delamination and to identify incremental damage due to environmental exposure. The tests are ultimately used to rank the suitability of the bond layer material for chip-to-chip attachment with large coefficient of expansion differences. Tested bond materials include epoxy, thermoplastic, and solder.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.

The two-dimensional cylindrical Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a two-equation turbulence model of the k-/spl epsi/ model version. The finite-volume differencing (FVD) scheme was used to solve the thermal and flow fields. The predicted velocities and heat transfer coefficients were compared with previously obtained experimental measurements. A universal function based on the wave equation was developed and applied to the heat transfer model to improve calculated local heat transfer coefficients.

The advantages of using a folded fin heat sink are light weight, low profile, and small footprint. There are three manufacturing methods for bonding the folded fin to the base of heat sink: adhesive bonding, soldering, and brazing. Brazing is a high temperature process which takes place at around 550/spl deg/C. The major concern with using the brazing process to manufacture heat sinks is dimensional deformation. The adhesive process, on the other hand, requires only sub 200/spl deg/C or room temperature curing process. However, its thermal contact resistance at the joint is higher than others. Solder bonding is an alternative solution to above problems. The soldering process requires much lower temperature, less than 200/spl deg/C, yet it gives excellent thermal contact and bond strength at the joint. This paper presents the theoretical study of thermal contact resistance at the joint between the folded fin base and the spreader plate of heat sink, and also presents the experimental results which support this theory.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.

The method allows one to resolve strain fields inside tiny structures like e.g. solder interconnects or conductive adhesive layers. It is based on comparison of digitized micrographs obtained from different object load states. Optical, SEM and laser scanning microscopy are applied for image capture. The paper presents results of strain analysis in interconnects of different flip chip configurations and chip scale package types e.g., global shear of outward bumps is almost completely suppressed in most flip chip cases by underfilling. Furthermore, bump deformation can be strongly influenced by the local appearance of glass fabrics in organic laminates used as board materials. A main demand on chip scale package reliability is the avoidance of too large thermal solder ball strains, which lead to material fatigue. Different packages with rigid and flex interposers tackle the stress compensation problem in a different way. A first attempt is made to compare some of them based on experimental strain and warpage measurements.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.

This is primarily due to the elimination of bond wires and the planar geometry which offers cooling of power devices from top, bottom or both sides of the power module. It was also shown that a cost effective, scalable high performance integral heat exchanger can maximize the thermal performance of POL technology thereby helping to utilize its full potential.

In the case of strip fin, and pin fin heat sinks, both inline and staggered arrays have been studied. The pin fin heat sinks had circular and square cross-sections. For each type, tests were run with fin heights (H) of 10, 15, and 20 mm while the heat sink width (B) was kept constant and equal to 52.8 mm. In total, 42 different heat sinks were tested. The width of the wind tunnel duct (CB) was varied in such a way that results were obtained for B/CB=0.84, 0.53, and 0.33. The wind tunnel height (CH) was varied similarly, and data were recorded for H/CH=1, 0.67, and 0.33 while the duct Reynolds number was varied between 2000 through 14000. An empirical bypass correlation has been developed for the different fin designs. The correlation predicts the Nusselt number and the dimensionless pressure drop and takes into account the influence of duct height, duct width, fin height, fin thickness, and fin-to-fin distance. The correlation parameters are individual for each fin design. Further, a physical bypass model for plate fin heat sinks has been developed to describe the bypass effect.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.

The TCU is made of an organic Phase Change Material (PCM) and a Thermal Conductivity Enhancer (TCE), composed of aluminum fins. The effect of the fin distribution on the performance of the TCU is investigated over a range of operation conditions. To quantify the improvements of the TCU with the TCE, it is compared with the baseline case of TCU without TCE. Results illustrate significant effects of the TCE for both constant and variable power operations. In a constant power operation, the TCE helps to keep the TCU temperature uniform and constant during PCM melting, in which overheating of the PCM is prevented. During variable power operations, the TCE helps to reduce fluctuating temperatures in the TCU, with a reduction in maximum temperature of 10/spl deg/C.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.

In this experiment a power diode in bare die form is used as the heating source. The diode V/sub f/ is used for junction temperature sensing. The cooling curve method of temperature characterisation is used at this power level because heating curves are difficult to measure when special designed thermal test chips are not available. A special test vehicle was designed to obtain equal temperature distribution across the test diode. The test vehicle has a three layer structure to minimise the number of thermal layers. This enables a more precise cooling curve analysis later in this project. The experimental results were correlated through the use of CFD models. From these CFD models, the thermal resistance and thermal capacitance of the die attach layer can be evaluated. This experiment is part of a project, the objective of which is to thermally characterise die-attach materials for power applications.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.

In this paper the fabrication and characterization of single-element SiGe/Si superlattice coolers of both n- and p-type devices are described for room temperature applications. Superlattice structures were used to enhance the device performance by reducing the thermal conductivity between the hot and the cold junctions, and by providing selective removal of hot carriers through thermionic emission. The structure of the samples consisted of a 3 /spl mu/m thick symmetrically strained Si/sub 0.7/Ge/sub 0.3//Si superlattice grown on a buffer layer designed so that the in-plane lattice constant is approximately that of relaxed Si/sub 0.9/Ge/sub 0.1/. Cooling by 1.7 K for n-type device and by 1.9 K for p-type device at room temperature was measured, corresponding to cooling power densities of hundreds of watts per square centimeter. The results show that the packaged devices of both n and p coolers can work together in similar optimal conditions. This paves the road to fabricate n- and p-type superlattice coolers in an array format electrically in series and thermally in parallel, similar to conventional thermoelectric devices, and thus achieve large cooling capacities with relatively small currents.","PeriodicalId":201262,"journal":{"name":"ITHERM 2000.
