The Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance: A One-Dimensional Underachiever in a Three-dimensional, Conjugate Heat Transfer World
INTRODUCTIONAs integrated circuits were becoming more widespread in the 1980’s, most of the developmental problems had to do the with electrical operation of the devices and not so much on cooling them, due to low power levels. It was the electrical engineers who did the functional testing, an activity that ultimately expanded to include thermal testing. Even the thermal … [Read more...]
