Silicon dominates the electronics industry as the semiconductor of choice for most applications, but some electrical functions require electronic properties different from those of silicon. A grouping of semiconductors termed “III-V” have desirable electrical properties…read more
Cooling Solutions In The Past Decade
November 1st, 2005
Introduction In 1995, a typical thermal design engineer was aware that removing heat was not going to get any easier in the next few years. A look back at the past ten years reveals that…read more
Phase Change Material Thermal Properties
May 1st, 2005
Table 1. General Solid-Liquid PCM Characteristics [1] When electronics are operated under transient conditions, increasing the thermal capacitance is a useful technique for limiting temperature increases and/or minimizing the performance requirements of a heat sink.…read more
Challenges In Thermal Control Of Military Electronics Systems
February 1st, 2003
