A New Method to Measure Thermal Conductivity
Conventional steady-state thermometry techniques require hours to reach a steady-state temperature rise — but a new method using laser heating takes only seconds. At Thermal Live Spring 2025, presenters from Laser Thermal demonstrated a Thermo-Optical Plane Source (TOPS) technique that offers unmatched speed and flexibility. Designed for high-throughput testing across a wide … [Read more...]
Measuring the Thermal Conductivity of Anisotropic Heat Spreading Materials
By: Aaditya A. Candadai, Aalok Gaitonde, Shanmukhi Sripada, Justin A. Weibel, Amy M. Marconnet Introduction New high thermal conductivity materials have been developed to enable enhanced heat transport within electronics packages and other thermal management applications. Many of these engineered materials have anisotropic thermal properties inherent to their fabrication, … [Read more...]
Simulation of Solder Fatigue Effects on Typical BGA Package due to Material and Temperature Variations – Part 2
Abstract The past two decades have seen many approaches to solder fatigue and solder joint life published. This subject has proved difficult as various failure mechanisms are proposed and examined. While these theoretical bases are discussed, it often leaves the end developer in a difficult situation as to how to apply an accurate simulation approach to fatigue failure for a … [Read more...]
Report About the THERMINIC 2024 Workshop
By Andras Poppe and Marta Rencz The 30th THERMINIC (Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems) workshop was held on 25-27 September 2024 in Toulouse, France at the Mercure Toulouse Centre Compans. Jean-Pierre Fradin (Icam, France) and Patrick Tounsi (INSA Toulouse & LAAS – CNRS) as local organizers and co-program chairs of the 2024 THERMINIC did a great job: Over 110 … [Read more...]
