Thermal resistance measurements have been carried out on more than 50 devices with an in-house developed instrument, using the well-known electrical method based on temperature dependence of the Schottky junction forward voltage. The selected MESFETs, intentionally chosen with completely different layout and heat-sinking solutions, such as via-hole or air-bridge source contacts and flip-chip or backside mounting, have been measured at several temperatures and power levels. Present experimental results have been related to the different device structures available and have been compared with theoretical values coming from simplified models proposed in the literature. The results show that the exact location of heat-source areas and the description of heat transfer processes cannot be easily handled with a simple model without a considerable loss of accuracy. The quality of die-attach also has a relevant influence on the value of thermal resistance, essentially due to the presence of voids in the die-attach alloy.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":226424,"journal":{"name":"InterSociety Conference on Thermal Phenomena in the Fabrication and Operation of Electronic Components.

The second case explored the effect of the introduction of cooling flow into the basic geometry, and the third considered the separate effect of the blockage due to the presence of the supports for the read heads. All three cases exhibited flow regimes near the rotating hub which were distinct from the flow farther from the hub. In addition, each of the flow configurations contained features not found in the other cases.

In general, the thermal model was able to predict the transient temperature profiles. At 4000 r.p.m., the steady-state temperature of the air and arms were predicted within 0.4 degrees C, and the base temperature was predicted within 2.4 degrees C. The air temperature was found to be uniform within experimental uncertainty outside of the disk stack, but was 1.4 degrees C higher between corotating disks. The temperature predictions are extremely sensitive to the external heat transfer coefficients and the heat sources in put by the user. It was found that more fundamental information regarding viscous dissipation and air flow within a disk drive must be known to produce a reliable thermal model.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":226424,"journal":{"name":"InterSociety Conference on Thermal Phenomena in the Fabrication and Operation of Electronic Components.

Many drives with either 3.5-in or 5.25-in disks operate without any position feedback mechanism and required that materials used within the drive have carefully controlled coefficients of thermal expansion. Completely eliminating thermal offtrack by simply selecting from available materials is often not possible. A method of fine-tuning the offtrack is presented. The method involves adjusting the relative thickness of materials used in a bimetallic composite structure to provide the expansion desired. A computer model predicts results within the drive and a comparison is made of analytic and experimental results. In addition, an overview of the causes of offtrack under both thermal transient and steady-state conditions is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":226424,"journal":{"name":"InterSociety Conference on Thermal Phenomena in the Fabrication and Operation of Electronic Components.

With sintered boiling surfaces, the incipient boiling superheat was reduced from 22 K to as low as 7 K. A reasonable explanation for the effectiveness of this sparging technique is that the impacting bubbles activate temporarily dormant cavities that, in turn, activate large neighboring cavities. The technique appears to be easily adaptable to liquid incapsulated modules containing arrays of microelectronic devices such as chips.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":226424,"journal":{"name":"InterSociety Conference on Thermal Phenomena in the Fabrication and Operation of Electronic Components.
