ABSTRACT Power densities continue to increase in AI servers, high-performance computing (HPC) systems, electric vehicles, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. As a result, thermal management has become a critical system-design requirement. Thermal solutions often fall short not because one material lacks performance, but because the complete … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Misusing Theta JA to Calculate Junction Temperature
A misconception that experienced thermal engineers have likely encountered is related to the improper use of Theta JA (θJA) of an electronic component. Many electrical and reliability engineers are taught that the junction temperature of an electronic component in any electronics packaging configuration or application may be calculated by the equation below. Here, TJ represents … [Read more...]

The Physics of Cooling in Confined Spaces: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Automotive Electronics
Introduction The evolution of modern automotive engineering is defined by a single, escalating conflict: the demand for massive computing power versus the shrinking physical space available to house it. As vehicles transition from mechanical machines to "computers on wheels," the thermal management of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has moved from a secondary … [Read more...]
Summary of the IEEE ITherm 2023 Conference
The IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) was held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FL, May 30 – June 2, 2023. This was the 22nd ITherm, which was first held in 1988. The conference was historically held every other year until 2016 when it switched to an annual schedule. ITherm 2023 was sponsored by the … [Read more...]
