Alternative thermal designs of a microwave module constituting six monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers (PA) chips with total heat dissipation of 195 W is created by applying a single-phase liquid cooling solution with microchannel heat sinks. Four cold plate alternatives are designed with different material selections of copper and aluminum at increasing fin densities of 25 fins per inch and 85 fins per inch. Heat sink performance of the alternative cold plates with microchannels is investigated numerically and experimentally. A post-experiment numerical investigation is performed in order to understand the sources of mismatch between numerical simulations and experimental studies. Detailed inspection of microchannel heat sinks is resulted with detection of manufacturing inaccuracies due to manufacturing limitations. These manufacturing inaccuracies are classified as variations in channel width, channel height and angle of channel inclination. In the post-experimental numerical investigation, these inaccuracies are analyzed for their individual effects on heat sink performance. For the best representation of manufacturing inaccuracies detected in microchannel heat sinks, combinations of the manufacturing inaccuracies are modeled for numerical simulations. The results of the post-experimental numerical simulations resulted in a good match with experimental studies, especially for pressure gradient values. The study shows microchannel heat sink performance variations to be expected with different material selections, different fin densities, and manufacturing inaccuracies. The study concludes with the design considerations are to be taken into account for a successful thermal design with microchannel heat sinks. To the best of authors knowledge, this study is the first in literature specifically focusing on the effects of manufacturing inaccuracies on heat sink performance.

Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors
Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
EFFECTS OF THERMOPYHSICAL PROPERTIES AND ENTRANCE REGION ON THE DIMENSIONAL OPTIMIZATION OF MICROCHANNEL HEAT SINKS
Turkakar, Goker; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2011-06-03)
Dimensional optimization of silicon microchannel heat sinks is performed by minimizing the total thermal resistance. Intel Core i7-900 Desktop Processor of chip core dimensions of 1.891 cm x 1.44 cm is considered as a reference processor which is reported to dissipate 130 W of heat. The properties are evaluated at the area weighted average of the fluid inlet and iteratively calculated outlet temperatures. The effects of the thermal and hydrodynamic entrance regions on heat transfer and flow are also investi...
Analysis and design of passive microwave and optical devices using the multimode interference technique
Sunay, Ahmet Sertaç; Birand, Mehmet Tuncay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
The Multimode Interference (MMI) mechanism is a powerful toool used in the analysis and design of a certain class of optical, microwave and millimeter wave devices. The principles of the MMI method and the self-imaging principle is described. Using this method, NXM MMI couplers, MMI splitter/combiners are analyzed. Computer simulations for illustrating the "Multimode Interference Mechanism" are carried out. The MMI approach is used to analyze overmoded 'rectangular metallic' and 'dielectric slab' type of wa...
Effect of Implanted Phosphorus Profile on iVoc Variations During Firing Process of n-type Silicon
Bektaş, Gence; Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; Bütüner, Sümeyye Koçak; Keçeci, Ahmet Emin; Canar, Hasan Hüseyin; Kökbudak, Gamze; Asav, Hasan; Turan, Raşit (2022-08-24)
Electrical activation of implanted phosphorus can be carried out simultaneously with boron dopants at high temperatures or separately at lower temperatures. In this study, we investigate the effect of high and low-temperature annealing processes for dopant activation following the phosphorous implantation process in n-type c-Si. Symmetrically implanted wafers are activated at 875 °C (low temperature) and 1050 °C (high temperature) and subsequently coated with PEC VD SiNx:H. iVoc values of the samples activa...
Effects of RTM mold temperature and vacuum on the mechanical properties of epoxy/glass fiber composite plates
Kaynak, Cevdet; Isitman, Nihat Ali (2008-08-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mold temperature, application of vacuum at resin exit ports, and initial resin temperature on the mechanical properties of epoxy matrix woven glass fiber reinforced composite specimens produced by resin transfer molding (RTM). For this purpose, six mold temperatures (25, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 degrees C), two initial resin temperatures (15 and 28 degrees C), and vacuum (0.03 bar) and without vacuum (similar to 1 bar) conditions are utilized. Speci...
