A CMOS COMPATIBLE METAL-POLYMER MICROCHANNEL HEAT SINK FOR MONOLITHIC CHIP COOLING APPLICATIONS

2010-08-13
A novel complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible microchannel heat sink is designed and fabricated for monolithic liquid cooling of electronic circuits. The microchannels are fabricated with full metal walls between adjacent channels with a polymer top layer for easy sealing and optical visibility of the channels. The use of polymer also provides flexibility in adjusting the width of the channels allowing better management of the pressure drop. The proposed microchannel heat sink requires no design change of the electronic circuitry underneath, hence, can be produced by adding a few more steps to the standard CMOS fabrication flow. The rnicrochannel heat sinks were tested successfully under various heat flux and coolant flow rate conditions. The preliminary cooling tests indicate that the proposed design is promising as a monolithic liquid cooling solution for CMOS circuits.

In this study, hot forming of DIN WL 3.7024 commercially pure titanium with a sheet thickness of 0.6 mm was performed by electric resistance heating. The sheet materials were heated at 600, 650, and 680 A degrees C and then hot formed with an industrial press. Grain size measurement and XRD analysis were performed for each forming temperature in order to investigate microstructure and phase changes. Results indicate that no microstructural changes have occurred at the mentioned temperature range. It was con...

Kulakci, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit (2013-05-01)
The fabrication of efficient silicon-based Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) is extremely important for the integration of photonic and electronic components on the same Si platform. In this paper, we report on the room temperature electroluminescence properties of Tb-doped MOS-LED devices with an active layer of SiO2 and Si-rich SiOx produced using the magnetron co-sputtering technique. The electroluminescence properties of both types of devices were studied as a function of processing conditions and material ...

IEEEThis article describes the development of a novel integrated thermal and electro-magnetic hybrid micro opto-electro mechanical system (MOEMS) based scanning actuator. Determining the optical architecture and components used for scanning are significant points of the study. A metalens and a coded mask, both of which can be produced by micro fabrication methods, are used in the optical part of the actuator. In this context, a metalens consisting of nano-holes was designed and fabricated as the first alter...
