Abstract:
A novel heat dissipation structure composed of square frustums thermal through silicon via array and embedded in P-type (100) silicon substrate is proposed to improve the heat dissipation capacity of power chips while reducing process difficulty. Based on theoretical analysis, the heat transfer model and thermo-electric coupling reliability model of a power chip with the proposed heat dissipation structure are established. A comparative study of simulation indicates that the proposed heat dissipation structure, which can avoid problems such as softness, poor rigidity, fragility and easy fracture caused by thinning chips has better heat dissipation capability than thinning the substrate of power chips.

Power Dissipated in a Circuit: Problem Solving
The simplest combinations of resistors are series and parallel connections. In a series circuit, the first resistor's output current flows into the second resistor's input; therefore, each resistor's current is the same. Thus, the equivalent resistance is the algebraic sum of the resistances. The current through the circuit can be found from Ohm's law and is equal to the...
