Delphi-like Boundary Condition Independent (BCI) Compact Thermal Models (CTMs) are the standard for modelling single die packages. However their extraction, particularly in the transient case, will be time consuming due to complex numerical simulations for a large number of external conditions. Lately, new approaches to extract a BCI Dynamical CTM (DCTM), based on Model Order Reduction (MOR) have been developed. Despite the numerous advantages of this recent method, the lack of numerical tools to integrate reduced-order models (ROM) makes it difficult to use at board level. In this study, a novel process flow for extracting Delphi-inspired BCI DCTMs is investigated. Thus a detailed three-dimensional model is replaced by a BCI-ROM model using FANTASTIC matrix reduction code to generate the data used in the creation of a Delphi-style BCI DCTM. That hybrid reduction method has been applied to an industrial single-chip package, named QFN16. Its derived CTM and DCTM have been compared in term of accuracy and creation time for both approaches: in-house Delphi-inspired and MOR based. The results show that for a similar accuracy, the integration of MOR technique allows minimizing the time-consuming numerical simulations and so to reduce the thermal network creation time by 80%.

Spray cooling for electronics cooling applications offers superior performance due to the atomization and two-phase flow abilities. Need for spray cooling in thermal applications is on the rise due to increasing heat fluxes and demanding reliability specifications. Unfortunately, it is a very laborious task to predict Critical Heat Fluxes (CHF) for spray cooling by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Therefore, thermal engineers generally prefer using empirical correlations to determine capabilities of spray cooling for electronics. In this study, one of the empirical correlations was tested by performing several experiments by varying the fluid type, the angle of spray nozzle and the flow rate.

This contribution derives an efficient approach to model a coupled electro-thermal design problem for transient system simulation, using an analogue simulator, like SPICE. It introduces the electrical and thermal modelling procedures and the coupling of both models. The electrical model is based on the fundamental equations of semiconductor physics. Using the respective physical parameters the model can easily be adapted to an existing component. The thermal model is based on a modified Foster model, extracted from transient FEM simulation results using thermal unit step responses. During the coupled transient simulation the electrical behaviour of each electrical component will be influenced on its self-heating and the coupled heating of active components in vicinity. The approach can also be applied to other coupled problems in MEMS, where a thermal coupling is important. The method will be demonstrated on the example of a D2PAK application, assembled on a PCB, using four MOSFET transistors.

Thermal dissipation is a major concern in microelectronics, especially for compact packages and 3D circuits where the dense stacking of thin silicon layers leads to a significant increase of heat densities. Direct hybrid bonding is considered as one of the most promising technologies for future 3D-ICs. Its face-to-face structure allows significant inter-connexion capabilities but it also implies increased thermal densities that will be reflected in both tiers due to the lack of insulating barriers. A specific test vehicle for 3D hybrid bonding including heaters and temperature sensors on each tiers has been fabricated and characterized. Several packaging configurations including different silicon thicknesses, substrate thermal design or the integration of a patterned graphite heat spreader have been tested. The best results were obtained with the integration of the graphite heat spreader which led to a reduction in thermal resistance by 11%. These experimental results have been retro-simulated to establish a thermal model. This model was then used to analyse the heat path and explore the thermal impact of the different packaging parameters.

The research and design of liquid-cooled integrated circuits (IC) relies heavily on accurate simulation. Ideally, finite-element-method (FEM) based tools should be used for this purpose. However, in most cases a fully coupled thermo-fluidic simulation of complex ICs is very time consuming. Therefore, in this paper we propose a novel method for thermal simulation of ICs cooled by integrated microchannels which significantly reduces the simulation time. The new approach is based on treating the solidliquid boundary as a convective boundary. It is shown that the proposed model offers very good accuracy in steady-state, with errors below 3°C in every chip point. In transient domain the results are less satisfactory, but still the error can be considered acceptable. Moreover, the simulation times have been reduced by about two orders of magnitude with respect to FEM simulation.

Rapid growth of Solid-State Lighting market has been supported by progress in Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. Strong competition requires that lighting product development cycle should be shorter and more effective. Optimal design of a LED luminaire in major degree depends on thermal-electro-optical properties of LEDs in use. These properties are required to be accurately characterized and well predicted for various operating conditions of the LEDs within luminaire in close interaction with other parts of the system. Delphi4LED project [1] aims at developing standardised method to create multi-domain (thermal, electrical, and optical) compact models from the measurement data. Boundary-independent, accurate and well junction temperature-controlled iso-thermal electro-optical characterization procedure for LED samples is required to obtain highly reliable and representative data sets as an input for the compact model. Often, thermal and optical characterization experiments are performed separately at dedicated equipment. In this paper, we report the results of our evaluation and experimental verification of various sources for uncertainties and inaccuracies originated from separation of thermal and optical measurement procedures.

Thermal management is one of the key issues arising in designing light-emitting diode (LED) based luminaire products. Dynamic compact thermal models (DCTMs) are required to predict the thermal behaviour of LED packages fast and accurately in system level simulations. The European Delphi4LED consortium aims to develop multi-domain (electrical-thermal-optical) compact models. One of its targets is to develop a methodology to extract DCTMs that can handle multiple heat sources of LEDs. We present the implementation of Krylov subspace based model order reduction techniques to extract the DCTMs of LED packages selected in the Delphi4LED simulation benchmarks. The results presented in this paper show that the extraction of DCTMs using iterative rational Krylov is highly accurate for these benchmark problems.

The shape of a compressed solder bump under mechanical load stemming from the weight of an IC or IC package has an important influence on the contact angles and the stresses that results from thermal cycling. In this work an expression is derived that provides a more accurate description of this shape. The shape of the small solder bump is dominated by surface tension and the shape of the unloaded solder bump is given by a truncated sphere. In the new approach, a correction function in the form of a series expansion is applied to incorporate the flattening due to the loading of the bump. The terms of the series are evaluated through the expression for force equilibrium found in earlier work. The results are compared with the results for an elliptical model and with a “hypothetical” ideal solution and the new approach is demonstrated for two representative cases.
