Pilot line production of functionalized CNTs as thermal interface material for heat dissipation in electronics applications (SMARTHERM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

The global economy is benefiting from the fast evolution of the semiconductor industry. The primary driving force of the semiconductor industry is the increasing integration density, which has lead not only to higher transistor density but also to increasing power density. Power density is expected to increase up to 135 W/cm2 in 2024 for single chip packages. This puts significant stress on therma ...

QUANTItative scanning probe microscopy techniques for HEAT transfer management in nanomaterials and nanodevices (QUANTIHEAT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The thermal properties of nanostructured materials are of fundamental importance to modern technology, but at present reproducible metrological definitions, tools and methods do not exist. This is because the mechanisms of heat transport at the nanoscale are entirely different to those at the macro scale.The project will place nanothermal metrology on a solid basis by an integrated physics-based e ...

Pre-standardisation of incremental FIB micro-milling for intrinsic stress evaluation at the sub-micron scale (ISTRESS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Intrinsic (or residual) stresses, resulting from manufacturing or processing steps, mostly define the performance and limit the lifetime of nanostructured materials, thin films, coatings and MEMS devices.The established techniques for micron-scale measurement of residual stress still have strong limitations, e.g. in terms of spatial resolution, lack of depth sensing, their applicability on non-cr ...

Nano Packaging Technology for Interconnect and Heat Dissipation (NANOPACK)

Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

One of the major limitations to continued performance increases in the semiconductor and power electronics industries is integration density and thermal management. Continued transistor downscaling is quickly reaching its limits forcing a new focus on heterogeneous integration and 3D packaging technologies to continue performance improvements by reducing interconnect length between memory and mult ...
