To make use of the advantages of higher power density in these systems, a thorough understanding of the heat dissipation characteristics and thermal management strategies must be developed. With this aim in mind, we report a parametric multi-physics analysis to guide in the materials selection and design of thermal management strategies that would enable operation at previously unobtainable powers and wavelengths. We offer practical design considerations for packaging materials, heat sink design, and containment geometries, and offer insights into how to increase thermally limited power output beyond commercially available state of the art strategies. The results of this parametric analysis suggest that substrate/containment material thermal conductivity should exceed 100 Wm-1K-1, and that under that condition, both heat sink cooling strategy and filler thermal conductivity substantially affect peak temperature. High filler thermal conductivity and high heat sink convective coefficient are required to the point that cutting-edge strategies for conductivity and convective enhancements may be required to allow operation under the desired parameters.","PeriodicalId":351706,"journal":{"name":"2022 21st IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (iTherm)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124650412","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}

Thermal throttling has been widely adopted in SSD products to keep critical component temperatures within limits. While thermal throttling profiles are essential for SSD performance in firmware developments, using the traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach to simulate thermal throttling profiles can be time-consuming. In this paper, a fast-prediction method using a neural network approach is proposed for predicting the thermal throttling profiles under different workloads. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network framework has been adopted in this method. The neural network will learn from the testing data of a single workload to model the thermal performance and hence predict thermal throttling profiles for various workloads. Results have shown that the predicted thermal throttling profiles for various workloads align with experimental test data with good accuracy. Prediction time is significantly reduced to a few minutes. This work has demonstrated that machine learning can be effectively applied to SSD thermal test data to model thermal performances with different test parameters, including power, ambient temperature, and throttling temperature limits.","PeriodicalId":351706,"journal":{"name":"2022 21st IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (iTherm)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124726131","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}

It has been reported that the lifetime of the transformer is increased by 10% with 1 °C decrease in the core temperature. The transformer oil which is a typically a mineral oil, used commonly in cooling of transformers has an inherent disadvantage of low thermal conductivity. This limits the amount of heat transfer from the core of the transformer to the surroundings. This research discusses the improvement of thermal conductivity of transformer oil by using functionalized nanodiamond (fND) particles in transformer oil. In this study, enhancement in natural convection heat transfer is studied by using two different concentrations (0.2 wt.% and 0.4 wt.%) of fND in transformer oil and compared with the base transformer oil. A tall container insulated from all sides and heated from one side is considered for the experiment's geometry. The natural convection is observed in the container and the experimental results are validated with the theoretical model.

It is a very important factor for the quality of bonding whether the temperature of solder rises above the melting point and maintains enough to melt. However, by the existing measurement method, only the temperature of the silicon chip can be measured so the temperature of solder is still unclear. Therefore, to predict the temperature of the whole flip-chip package including the solder bumps during the LAB process, a numerical simulation model is developed. Governing equations for transient heat conduction are solved using the Finite Volume Method(FVM). The absorbed laser in each layer is analyzed based on the optical characteristics of the laser, which contributes to the heat generation rate of governing equation. Based on the increasing contact area of solder bump during the melting process, point-contact to area-contact, the melting process of solder bumps is replaced by introducing the effective thermal conductivity according to the contact area between solder bump and substrate. Through the simulation model developed in this study, the transient temperature profile during the LAB process is obtained. The temperature of the silicon chip obtained by the simulation model is compared to that measured by IR thermometry to validate the simulation model. It is confirmed that the melting process is well reflected through the fact that inflection points of temperature profile are shown in both simulation results and IR thermometry. Furthermore, it is expected that the warpage problem and optimized process conditions can be analyzed using the numerical simulation developed in this study.","PeriodicalId":351706,"journal":{"name":"2022 21st IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (iTherm)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121743913","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}

Almost 97% weight percentage is β-Sn which is a highly directional material in terms of elastic modulus (E) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Since β-Sn is a crystalline material, deformation beyond the elastic limit is described by various atomic planes and directions, which are termed as slip systems together. Ten different slip families have been recognized in literatures for β-Sn body-centered tetragonal (BCT) crystals. When external load is applied on solder balls, plastic deformation is dictated by the movement of dislocations and direction of deformation is defined by slip properties.In this study, a physics-based crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) model has been used to explain the mesoscale deformation behavior of solder joints that have dimensions in the sub-millimeter range. A crystal plasticity theory-based subroutine was implemented in ABAQUS finite element (FE) software to forecast the effects of β-Sn crystal orientations on overall deformation behavior of SAC305 BGA solder joints. Since the crystal c-axis is the strongest axis in terms of elastic modulus, a number of finite element models were developed and run with varying c-axis orientation in the x-y plane to assess the effects of various slip systems on the deformation patterns.","PeriodicalId":351706,"journal":{"name":"2022 21st IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (iTherm)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131447305","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}

One of the advantages of the Sn-Bi solder is that the low melting temperature of the eutectic Sn-Bi solder will reduce the reflow cost. Moreover, the coefficient of thermal expansion of Sn-Bi solder is around 15 ppm/C, which is close to the substrate material and will help improve the board level reliability during thermal cycling. In the study of board level reliability, the constitutive equation of solder is used to describe the nonlinear behavior of solder joints during creep. However, limited datasheet is provided for the material properties of Sn-Bi solder. One of the methods is to extract the creep testing data results and obtain the constants in governing equation by curve fitting. However, this method requires mathematical simplification and previous studies are mostly focused on bulk samples. In this study, the eutectic Sn42Bi58 solder balls are tested under different constant loadings. Using 2D digital image correlation (DIC) technique, the displacement data as well as the creep rates can be obtained. As a result, the constitutive equation of Sn-Bi solder is obtained in the form of Garofalo model by nonlinear regression of the experimental data. Finite element modeling is performed based on the acquired constants, the good agreement with experimental data validates the fitted results in the constitutive equation.","PeriodicalId":351706,"journal":{"name":"2022 21st IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (iTherm)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133775869","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 continuous attempts to miniaturize traditional forms in terms of both size and weight are a reason why flexible electronics will emerge as a modern alternative in the technical industry. Direct printing on a range of substrates, whether rigid, flexible, or conformable, offers numerous advantages over traditional electronics production processes. Furthermore, the increasing complexity of flexible electronics demands the creation of multilayered circuits comparable to classic PCBs in order to reduce the volumetric and gravimetric influence of the underlying electronics. The majority of commercial PCBs have many component attachments using solder and multilayer functionality. There is a paucity of information on component attachment for flexible electronics applications that integrate multilayer functional qualities employing electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) and low-temperature solder (LTS). In this paper, we used OrCAD software to design and analyze an LED flashing circuit in order to imitate the applications of the Rigid PCBs. We investigated the influence of photonic curing over multiple passes on the mechanical and electrical properties of printed electronics utilizing a microdispensing unit during the multilayer development process. Capacitors, resistors, inductors, diodes, and Op-Amps are examples of components attached utilizing electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) and low-temperature solder (LTS).

A reaction-diffusion model governing the multi-physics phenomenon is needed to capture the behavior. In addition, as the size of the microbump decreases, surface diffusion effect also becomes significant. In this work, a solid-state reaction-diffusion model accounting for surface diffusion in addition to bulk diffusion is first proposed, and the governing equations are derived from first principles using continuum thermodynamics. To perform sharp interface simulation, an explicit interface tracking method termed Enriched Isogeomentric Analysis (EIGA) is used. EIGA has the advantage of exactly obtaining the geometric quantities such as the interface normal and curvature that is required to evolve the interface during analysis. However, these geometric properties can only be approximated in the limit of mesh refinement in the commonly used implicit methods such as phase-field and level-set methods. Additionally, EIGA avoids remeshing of the domain when the interface moves. Full joint simulation is carried out considering both intermetallic compound growth and void evolution in solder microbumps.
