Two-dimensional approaches are widely used in the numerical thermal models of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) to reduce the high computational cost of the three-dimensional approaches. The aforementioned simplified models predict inaccurate device temperatures with significant overestimation of the thermal resistance. In order to take advantage of the computational efficiency of the two-dimensional models, a correction procedure is necessary for the accurate representation of the actual device temperatures. In this paper, a novel correction method is introduced for this purpose. Correction technique presented in this study can be used to improve the accuracy of the multiscale numerical thermal device models.

A Thermal Conductance Optimization and Measurement Approach for Uncooled Microbolometers Senveli, S. Ufuk; Tanrikulu, M. Yusuf; Akın, Tayfun (2011-04-29) This paper introduces an optimization approach of thermal conductance for single level uncooled microbolometer detectors. An efficient detector design is required due to the limited availability of silicon area per pixel, i.e., the pixel pitch, and due to the capabilities of the fabrication line. The trade-offs between physical parameters are studied to attain the best performance, including the thermal conductance, the thermal time constant, the effective temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), and th...
A Digital signal processor based development platform for thermal imagers Özkan, Mustafa; Beşikci, Cengiz; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) The performance of thermal imaging systems depends on the sophistication level of the signal processing algorithms and the careful design of the required electronics. Digital Signal Processor (DSP) boards are very beneficial in designing such systems, and applying high level signal processing algorithms. The aim of this study is to design and implement a development platform for thermal imagers using a double floating point processor DSP board.A front-end electronics board has been employed as the interface...
A thermal conductivity based humidity sensor in a standard CMOS process Okean, B; Akın, Tayfun (2004-01-29) This paper presents a low-cost, thermal conductivity based humidity sensor implemented using a 0.6 mum CMOS process where suspended p-n junction diodes are used as the humidity sensitive elements. In this method, the difference between the thermal conductivities of air and water vapor at high temperatures is used. Humidity sensing idea is to compare the output voltages of two heated and thermally isolated diodes one of which is exposed to the environment and has a humidity dependent thermal conductance whil...
A Novel Numerical Technique for Analyzing Metasurfaces ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2019-12-31) This work presents a novel technique for efficient numerical modeling of electromagnetic scattering from metasurfaces comprising of truncated periodic or locally-varying quasi-periodic surfaces. The proposed technique hybridizes the periodic Finite Element Method (FEM) with the Method of Moments (MoM) to develop an algorithm far more efficient than conventional numerical methods for electromagnetic scattering from arbitrary objects. The key feature of the proposed algorithm is that it takes advantage of the...
A finite element variational multiscale method for the Navier-Stokes equations Volker, John; Kaya Merdan, Songül (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2005-01-01) This paper presents a variational multiscale method (VMS) for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations which is defined by a large scale space L-H for the velocity deformation tensor and a turbulent viscosity nu(T). The connection of this method to the standard formulation of a VMS is explained. The conditions on L-H under which the VMS can be implemented easily and efficiently into an existing finite element code for solving the Navier - Stokes equations are studied. Numerical tests with the Smagorinsky ...
