130939 - Thermal Engineering of Materials for Advanced Electronics Packaging
Abstract:
Thermal effects limit the maximum power of advanced computing solutions as elevated can drastically reduce system lifetime. This is particularly challenging in the advanced packages that are being developed for high performance computing systems and for power electronics. In these systems, a combination of high thermal conductivity materials and thermally isolating materials are required to get heat out of the device without impacting delicate components in the system, such as the memory. This presentation will introduce research in my group focused on engineering materials with targeted thermal conductivity performance, switchable materials where the thermal transport can actively tuned, and techniques we are developing to understand the thermal properties in the unique formfactors required for advanced electronics packaging. As an example, thermally conductive, electrically insulating materials are required at various locations within the package for improved heat dissipation. But this combination of properties is not readily available in naturally occurring materials and, additional constraints on form factor and mechanical properties, make engineering these materials challenging. For the thin film form factor of interest for flexible substrates in wearable devices, our team developed a new technique to quantify thermal transport leveraging concepts from the Angstrom method and updating the technique with modern tools including infrared thermal imaging and physics-informed neural networks for robust data analysis. Overall, new applications within advanced packaging of electronic devices drive the development of new thermally-engineered materials and new metrology techniques to understand performance.
