Objective
Mathematical Reduction techniques will be evaluated, i.e. methods for generating 'compact' thermal resistor networks by mathematical reduction of a 'detailed' finite-element or finite-volume thermal model of the part.
The 'detailed' thermal models are itself experimentally validated by the following methods for measuring the junction temperature of a chip package under well-defined boundary conditions:
- Double Cold Plate Method - a measuring system where the part is clamped between two temperature-controlled cold plates.
- Submerged Double Jet Impingement Method - a measuring system where the part is immersed in a fluid and subjected, on both sides, to impinging fluid jet streams.
The ultimate beneficiaries of SEED are the equipment manufacturers, who can build more reliable electronic equipment if the component manufacturers supply validated thermal models of their parts.
The thermal precision needed to design out the functional and reliability failures that can result from component overheating requires accurate, validated thermal models of the critical electronic parts used in the design. The DELPHI project (ESPRIT 9197) has therefore developed a technology for the characterisation of the thermal behaviour of single chip packages.
In the SEED project three electronic component manufacturers (Philips Semiconductors, Siemens and SGS Thomson) will evaluate this technology. The results will be disseminated on a wider scale, and steps will be initiated for the industrial adoption of the new methodology.
The co-ordinating partner Flomerics is an SME tool vendor that develops and markets software (FLOTHERM) for thermal analysis at package-, board- and system-level.
