In this paper, we report significant enhancement of thermal transport across solid interfaces by nanopatterning the surface. We utilized nanopillars as the analogy of fins that have been used for macroscopic heat transfer enhancement in heat exchangers. We found that the major benefit sterns from the enlarged effective contact area due to the increased surface area of the nanopatterned surface. The finding from this work should be universal and can benefit the thermal management of electronics, especially high power electronics where self-heating has been a bottleneck for their further advancement.","PeriodicalId":426908,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123650081","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}

After analyzing the thermal hydraulic performance of conventional plain plate fin, two novel air-side fin configurations are proposed. The first design guides more airflow into the back of the tubes and eliminates wake zones. The second design significantly enlarges the heat transfer area of air-side with little pressure drop penalty. Numerical investigations of conventional and novel fin designs are conducted. Based on the temperature and velocity flow fields and Nusselt number (Nu), the two novel designs are repeatedly improved. Comparing Nu and friction factor (f) with the plain plate fin, the two novel fin designs enhance the overall thermal performance by 103.1-109.0% and 64.5-78.4% respectively, while incurring pressure drop penalty of 312.8-419.6% and (- 1.5)-6.0% respectively. As such, the proposed enhanced air-side fin designs are promising candidates for improving the efficiency for FTHXs.","PeriodicalId":426908,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124939911","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 new architecture consists of a Ceramic Ball Grid Array (CBGA) package with a flip chip die on a high CTE ceramic substrate, and an array of decoupling capacitors used within the second level interconnects. The capacitors are modified chip capacitors that are soldered immediately beneath the CBGA substrate in a square array that replaces some or all of the ball grid array solder joints. This location for the capacitors improves electrical performance of the microprocessor package (reduces noise/crosstalk and increases speed), and also provides resistance to solder joint collapse. The value of the designs in this investigation is in moving the decoupling capacitive elements of the package closer to the die while having a comparable mechanical reliability to an analogous BGA package. Test assemblies of the new packaging concept containing daisy chain test die have been prepared and subjected to thermal cycling reliability testing. Both lead free and Sn-Pb solder joint options have been examined. Weibull failure plots of the recorded failure data have been created, and failure analysis has been performed to identify failure locations and failure modes.","PeriodicalId":426908,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127960116","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}

An angled confining wall was used to manage the spent fluid by maintaining a consistent crossflow momentum ratio with downstream position, which prevents degradation in the thermal performance of downstream jets.

Ghoshdastidar","doi":"10.1109/ITHERM.2016.7517671","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ITHERM.2016.7517671","url":null,"abstract":"A numerical study of steady, laminar, two-dimensional combined convection and radiation air cooling of four identical rectangular electronic chips (made of silicon) mounted on the left side of a vertical channel is presented in this paper. The conduction in the walls (composed of copper-epoxy) as well as in the chips in which energy is generated due to joule heating is also taken into account. The outside walls are treated as insulated. At the channel inlet the velocity is uniform. The stream function-vorticity-temperature approach with the finite-difference-based methodology has been applied to obtain flow and thermal fields in the fluid, temperature distributions in the chips and the walls, and pressure distribution in the fluid. The parameters varied to study the effect of radiation on the cooling of the silicon chips are: Reynolds number, Grashof number, emissivity of the chips and of the inside wall surfaces, chip height, chip width, and the gap between the successive chips. The energy generation rate is such that it gives rise to average heat flux in the chips in the range of 281.25 W/m2 to 1.875×103 W/m2, which is relatively low. The results reveal that there is a 14.28% drop in the dimensionless maximum temperature of the chips at Re = 500, Gr = 8.65 × 105 as compared to the case when the radiation effect is not considered. The increase in emissivity of the chips from 0.1 to 0.9 results in considerable rise in the temperature of the wall opposite to the chips accompanied by a small drop in the chip temperature. The pumping power increases by 82.69% when the chip height is increased from 0.3 to 0.6. However, increasing the chip width results in rise in pumping power by 30%. There is only a marginal drop in pumping power requirement when radiation is considered in the modeling. The novelty of this work lies in the use of realistic chip and wall materials, investigation of the effect of various geometrical parameters, calculation of pressure distribution and pumping power, and reporting of radiation effect on the walls opposite to the chips. This is only work so far which solves the flow, thermal and pressure fields in electronics cooling using stream function-vorticity-temperature approach and applies Gebhart's absorption factor method for calculation of radiation exchange.","PeriodicalId":426908,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131414882","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}

Foley, John Deep, Ryan Lowe","doi":"10.1109/ITHERM.2016.7517584","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ITHERM.2016.7517584","url":null,"abstract":"Densely packed electrical assemblies like fuze, contain large number of components, potted in protective adhesives. The number of components, varying material types, irregular geometry of the components and the geometric details of the assembly makes conventional CAD modeling, meshing and Finite Element(FE) modeling of these large assemblies extremely time consuming, often, to the extent of being impractical. CAD geometries compatible with modern Finite Element (FE) platforms may not be available for several legacy systems. Furthermore, conventional CAD modeling may not account for the real geometry realized after the manufacturing process and this can often affect the fidelity of the FE model. There is no method for capturing the actual assembly geometry and its embedded components. Assessment of survivability of fuzes requires assessment of stresses and strains under operational loads. Previously, researchers have studied the reliability of key components in a fuze device subjected to high temperature and high g mechanical shocks [1]. Researchers have measured redundancy and reliability of fuze electronics using failure rates and mean time to failure as per MIL-HDBK-217F standard [2]. There is little to no literature on FE modeling of a comprehensive fuze assembly. In this paper, a methodology for the creation of an FE model based on Micro-CT (Computed Tomography) data is presented. The method has been applied to an actual fuze subjected to mechanical shock. This method involves usage of advanced 3D imaging, image segmentation, image filtering and meshing techniques to directly convert CT scanned electrical assemblies into a FE mesh. This method successfully bypasses the time consuming CAD modeling step of conventional FE modeling. The as-is geometry of each component, positioned accurately in a 3D space, as per the original assembly, has been realized in this process by usage of micro-CT scanning technique. The submicron scale tolerances of the CT scanned data ensure true representation of the fuze assembly, in this case. The FE model thus realized, allows for measurement of all the field variables, anywhere over its meshed domain. Stress and strain histories have been extracted for embedded components of the fuze assembly using explicit finite element models.","PeriodicalId":426908,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121361913","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 this paper, two methods for measuring thermal performance of DAHI (Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration) GaN HEMTs are presented and contrasted: IR microscopy and micro Raman spectroscopy. The QFI IR system uses a per-pixel material emissivity flat temperature calibration when the device is in an off-state, and then calculates operating temperatures by CCD exposure. Two separate QFI systems with differing CCD resolutions were used to collect thermal data and are compared. Raman Thermometry by contrast, is a laser point measurement of the frequency shift in scattered photons due to phonon vibrational modes whose frequencies are temperature dependent. Differences in measurements between the two methods arising from the stack of materials used in the DAHI process and their transparency are discussed. A method for measuring the surface temperature of the devices through Raman by the use of TiO2 nanoparticles is also presented in conjunction with a profile of the HEMT.

It considers levels of heat load conventionally observed in real servers of datacenters, which means idle, normal and maximum clock speed of actual microprocessors. The thermosyphon is a very compact unit with a height of 15 cm and capable of safely operating up to a heat flux of 80 W cm-2. The loop basically is comprised of a riser, a downcomer, a micro-evaporator and a counter flow tube-in-tube condenser. The latter is cooled by cold water whose mass flow rate can be controlled through an external pump (speed control), so that parameters such as saturation temperature and/or condenser outlet subcooling can be adjusted for a pre-defined set point, and thus increasing the range of operability of the cooling loop. Other parameters were also explored experimentally, cooling looping overall performance, chip (junction) temperature, whilst the critical heat flux was estimated from a leading CHF method. Finally, the study showed that the passive two-phase closed loop thermosyphon cooling system is a safe and energetically viable technology solution for the next generation of datacenters.","PeriodicalId":426908,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm)","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116950256","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}
