The approach exhibits high levels of accuracy for very small state space dimensions of the model. It is also efficient since it requires the solution of few deterministic thermal problems in the frequency domain. The achieved stochastic compact models can be used to accurately determining not only the stochastic properties of junction temperatures but also of the whole spatio-temporal distribution of thermal variables within the electronics component or package, for all waveforms of injected powers.","PeriodicalId":369128,"journal":{"name":"19th International Workshop on Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems (THERMINIC)","volume":"407 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133247486","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 thriving development of this technology allows reducing the volume in space as well as shortening the interconnection between the elements of the device. In this article, we analyze two methods of reduction of a detailed representation of a component, embedding three chips. The first approach is based upon the sub-compact vision, which consists in generating thermal compact models of different pseudo parts and plugged them within the over-molding resin of the package. This one gives good results but the size of the deducted model remains large. The second way uses a global reduction process by generating a whole network at once by means of genetic algorithm and superposition principle. The predictions of the behavioral models are relevant, poorly dependant of boundary conditions but the number of mandatory fitting scenarios becomes quite significant as well as the parameters to be optimized.","PeriodicalId":369128,"journal":{"name":"19th International Workshop on Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems (THERMINIC)","volume":"286 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121374356","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}

In the last decade many packaging configurations are realized which range from the multichip modules to the 3D stack-die structures. Thermal aware design of such structures become complex, though. To understand the thermal behavior of multichip structure containing multiple dissipating elements placed on different dice, the couplings between individual dice have to be characterized. To determine their thermal transfer impedance matrix (TTIM) is a practical way to describe the thermal relations. In this paper we demonstrate the method utilized for TTIM measurements and also show how thermal surroundings (e.g. the PCB the chip is mounted on) affect the thermal relations inside the package. In addition, the temperature dependent non-linearity of the TTIMs is also described.","PeriodicalId":369128,"journal":{"name":"19th International Workshop on Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems (THERMINIC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126914041","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}

With the consideration of time-dependent thermal testing functionals, the basic co-analyses of one-cycle Nabarro-Herring and Coble creep rates and the corresponding damage accumulation functionals for the conventional eutectic Sn/Pb micro-solder material are studied using the proposed MTTC model theoretically. For experimentally validation of the MTTC model, a batch of devices filled with resin in FCGBA package had been tested under a -40°C~125°C thermal cyclic test with a period of 1-hour 1000 times. The MTTC model reveals that the solder bumps within the FCGBA can survive about 0.53 year under the cyclic testing circumstance. Under the room temperature, the device even can survive about 2.45 years under continuously operations.","PeriodicalId":369128,"journal":{"name":"19th International Workshop on Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems (THERMINIC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126707836","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}
