of a flexible electronic system)

System level….thermodynamic considerations,
overall system balance, application
Sammakia 4-06
•The design of a system should not be a set of individual requirements such as thermal, mechanical, electrical and functional. There should be one design that is optimal and meets all of the requirements.
•Case in point thermal and mechanical requirements.
Sammakia 4-06
•Thermal and mechanical requirements are often conflicting.
•For example a large Cu heat sink is likely to adversely impact interconnect reliability (fatigue, shock, vibration)
Sammakia 4-06
•Interconnects are vulnerable failure points in all systems
•Chip level interconnects are the most vulnerable (size and materials)
•This has a direct impact on thermal management and the mechanical design of the system
•Flexible electronics offer an advantage
Sammakia 4-06
•Conduction (relatively simple analysis, will introduce today)
•Convection (mostly empirical and numerical)•Radiation (often negligible
at low operating temperatures)•Multimode (combinations of the above modes)
Modes of heat transfer
Sammakia 4-06
Conduction
Heat transfer mode in solids and stationary fluids. Heat is transferred via random molecular interactions.
In gases: random molecular collisions (translational + vibration + rotational components)
In solids: combination of free electron transport and latticevibrations
In liquids: similar to gases but closer bonding between molecules
Sammakia 4-06

In electronic packaging, a single chip package contains manymaterials. An overall resistance is defined:

Typical values: 80 K/W: plastic package, no spreader
12 -20 K/W: plastic package with spreader

Thermal management in a second level packageGoverning Equations for fluids in motion:
Assuming the flow to be steady with constant properties except for the thermal conductivity in general and the density in the buoyancy term specifically, and neglecting viscous dissipation, the governing equations are,:
Continuity (mass conservation):
∇. V = 0
Momentum conservation:
ρ (V.∇)V= - ∇p + µ∇2V+ ρg β(T-T∞)i
Energy conservation:
ρcp (V. ∇)T = ∇.(k∇T)

•Navier Stokes equations fairly complex to solve
•Most practical applications require a numerical solution
•Several commercial codes are available, provide good design tools
•It is possible to solve conjugate conduction/convection./radiation problems

Conduction Spreading Resistance
Near the chip, the conduction is 2 or 3-D. Need to solve heat diffusion equation exactly to get Rth. For many cases this can be done in closed form (if chip approximated as uniform heat flux circular source)

Thermal and Mechanical designs are intertwined
Sammakia 4-06
• During every thermal cycle interconnections must ‘absorb’ the CTE mismatch
• They must be designed to survive (at an acceptable failure rate) through end of life of the product

Underfill or encapsulation
Converts some of the shear loading to bending

•In all of the designs shown here there is a flexible part of thesystem designed to protect the interconnects at the chip level.
•Examples: pistons, bellows and springs (weakly coupled to the chip)
•Grease: allows the chip and heat-sink to expand independently
•Flexible chip carrier: the chip carrier deforms and reduces the stresses on the interconnect
