Thermal Engineering Associates (TEA) is partnering with engineering services firm, Package Science Services (PSS) to provide measurement, modeling and simulation of IC packages for a number of its customers. The pooling of TEA and PSS resources provides thermal measurement and modeling capability for IC, diode, transistor, LED, and PV devices and related packaging alternatives. … [Read more...]
Groups Develop Thermal Nanotape for Packaging
(a) A nanostructured interface material is used around the module; (b) a nanostructured interface material is used between the thermoelectric material and metal leads. Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and researchers from Stanford University have developed a novel combination of elements that yields a nanostructure material for packaging. The advance could mean … [Read more...]
Testing Thermal Interface Material (TIM) Analysis
2-3 p.m., March 10 This webinar will provide an introduction to the most commonly used Thermal Interface Material (TIM) types and their corresponding testing techniques. Basic TIM properties such as bulk or effective thermal conductivity, interfacial thermal resistance and bond line thickness will be explained. At the beginning, an overview of the existing industrial and … [Read more...]
Making Sure Your Chips Don’t Burn
Researchers at the Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork in Ireland have found a new way of cooling semiconductors in computers, mobiles and games consoles to improve their performance and reduce energy consumption. Most computers have thermal interface materials (TIM) to join the chip with the heat sink, with solder or a thin, film-like sheet. Solder is … [Read more...]
editoral: why standardization is mandatory: on the incorrect use of thermal impedance in the TIM world
Clemens J.M. Lasance Editor-in-Chief, Fall 2010 Issue Some time ago I devoted my editorial to the problems caused by the veeerrryyy slow adherence to the use of SI units to which the U.S. committed itself in 1872. When talking globalization we should speak the same scientific language, and when there are conflicts of interest, logical reasoning should prevail to decide upon … [Read more...]
