Ultrafast Submicron Thermoreflectance Imaging

March 1st, 2011

Both the miniaturization of electronic and optoelectronic devices and circuits and the increased operation speeds of electronic devices have exacerbated localized heating problems. Steady-state and transient characterization of temperature distribution in devices and interconnects are…read more

Solid-State Microrefrigerator on a Chip

August 1st, 2006

Introduction Temperature control of microelectronic devices has become more important in recent years. Device miniaturization and higher switching speeds have increased power dissipation substantially. Limiting the maximum die temperature has resulted in an increase of…read more
