In this paper new characterization equipment for thermal interface materials is presented. Thermal management of electronic products relies on the effec-tive dissipation of heat. This can be achieved by the optimization of the system design with the help of simulation methods. The precision of these models relies also…

This work builds on the previous introduction [1] of a coupled experimental-computational system devised to fully characterize the thermal behavior of complex 3D submicron electronic devices. The new system replaces the laser-based surface temperature scanning approach with a CCD camera-based approach. As before, the…

Ground-state properties of the spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg model on doubly decorated planar lattices, are investigated in detail. On the basis of the mapping transformation method, we prove an existence of unusual quantum phases which occur due to the competition between Ising-type and XXZ anizotropic Heisenb…

A way to increase the Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM) sensitivity in the harmonic 3w mode is to heat the probe with an AC current sufficiently high to generate a coupling between the AC and the DC signals. We detail in this paper how to properly take into account this coupling with a Wollaston-probe SThM. We also s…

In the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope [1], [2], the noise temperature of the first LNA must be reduced in order to reduce the necessary active area and the total system costs. Cooling the LNA locally would significantly decrease the noise figure but also the necessary power since not the whole system has to be…

A network identification by deconvolution (NID) method is applied to the thermal transient response of packaged and unpackaged microcoolers. A thin film resistor on top of the device is used as the heat source and the temperature sensor. The package and the bonding thermal resistances can be easily identified by compa…

Besides their electrical properties the optical parameters of LEDs also depend on junction temperature. For this reason thermal characterization and thermal management play important role in case of power LEDs, necessitating both physical measurements and simulation tools. The focus of this paper is a combined electri…

Prognostics is a process of assessing the extent of deviation or degradation of a product from its expected normal operating condition, and then, based on continuous monitoring, predicting the future reliability of the product. By being able to determine when a product will fail, procedures can be developed to provide…

This communication deals with a theoretical study of the hot spot onset (HSO) in cellular bipolar power transistors. This well-known phenomenon consists of a current crowding within few cells occurring for high power conditions, which significantly decreases the forward safe operating area (FSOA) of the device.
