Here, we have developed an electrothermal model to study this coupling between SLCs and how it is affected by geometric parameters such as separation between the superlattice structure and a ground electrode, and operating parameters such as the convective heat transfer coefficient and the activation current applied for driving the SLC. Complementary to the modeling efforts, we have also experimentally studied thermal coupling between SLCs in a microfabricated array under various conditions. Simulation results are critically compared against the experimental data and yield the conclusions of importance for an optimized design of the hybrid microfluidic SLC cooling scheme for thermal management of multiple clustered hotspots in microprocessors. We have observed more than 60% reduction in cooler performance, when placed within the few characteristic diameters of the ground electrode, due to thermal coupling effect. Thermal properties of the working fluid have even more pronounced effect on the thermal coupling between the coolers.

Research paper thumbnail of Cooling power optimization for hybrid solid-state and liquid cooling in integrated circuit chips with hotspots

13th InterSociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems, 2012

ABSTRACT We report theoretical investigation and optimization of a hot-spot cooling method. This ... more ABSTRACT We report theoretical investigation and optimization of a hot-spot cooling method. This hybrid scheme contains a liquid cooling microchannel and superlattice hotspot cooler(s). This analysis of the hybrid method aims to solve the potential thermal management challenges for hotspots especially in 3D stacked multichip packaging. The goal is to reduce the overall cooling power and optimize the energy efficiency. Starting with a generic modeling of the superlattice cooler system, the cooling temperature as a function of the superlattice thickness and the driving current is found. The analytic results are then compared with full 3D numerical simulation. The role of spreading thermal resistance in the chip substrate was found to be important. The later part of this report is the integration of the microchannel with the hotspot cooler. The pumping power is modeled based on the microchannel design and fluid properties. The total cooling power, the sum of the electrical power to pump the liquid and the electrical power to drive the superlattice cooler, is found as a function of overall heat dissipation of the chip including hotspot(s). As the goal is to keep the hottest point on the chip below certain threshold (e.g. 85°C), the result shows a dramatic reduction of the required total cooling power, when hybrid cooling scheme - superlattice hotspot cooler in conjunction with microchannel cooler - is used. Above particular analysis is based on the specific microchannel, but this proposed scheme allows us a systematic study to reduce the pump power further.

Thermoelectric effect is realized in this study by embedding to the silicon chip in superlattice microcooler which has been studied in our previous work. We went through an analytic modeling including spreading resistance through the substrate and modeled the fluid dynamic characteristic of microchannel so that we were able to find the pump power and cooling power of superlattice cooler. We also verified the performance with 3D numerical simulation. The results show that the hybrid system allows much higher heat flux for a hotspot while superlattice cooler locates correctly. As an example, if we have a ZT=0.5 material, a 500m x 500m hotspot can be maintained at 85 o C (ambient 35 o C) with around 850W/cm 2 while a simple liquid cooling reaches 620W/cm 2 for the same 12W/cm 2 of overall cooling power.

Localized hotspot with heat flux close to 250 W/cm 2 has been successfully removed using this hybrid scheme. The effect of ambient temperature, hotspot size, and superlattice cooler electrode location is also studied.

Current state-of-the-art thermal interface materials (TIMs) have resistances in the range of 5–10 mm2·K/W. At these values, particularly for the emerging highly nonhomogeneous materials, standard measurement techniques often fail to provide accurate results. This paper describes the use of infrared microscopy for measuring the total thermal resistance across multiple interfaces. The method is capable of measuring samples of wide ranging resistances with thicknesses ranging from 50–250 μm. This steady-state technique has several advantages over other methods, including the elimination of the need for intrusive temperature monitoring devices like thermocouples at the area of interest and the need for a priori knowledge of the specific heat and density of the materials of interest, as in the transient techniques for determining thermal res...

A hybrid cooling scheme has been proposed, which combines solid-state cooling to remove the dynamically changing hotspots in real time while addressing the steady-state background power dissipation using liquid cooling in embedded microchannels. In this paper, we have investigated the transient behavior of the hybrid scheme through experiments as well as computational modeling. Infrared microscopy, equipped with transient detector, was used to study the transient cooling behavior when a power spike is produced by a microfabricated heater, emulating a hot spot. The results indicate that solid-state superlattice cooling (SLC) offers an extremely fast transient response, having time constant of the order of few tens of microseconds which matches with dynamics of microprocessor power dissipation.

Thermoelectric effect is realized in this study by embedding to the silicon chip in superlattice microcooler which has been studied in our previous work. We went through an analytic modeling including spreading resistance through the substrate and modeled the fluid dynamic characteristic of microchannel so that we were able to find the pump power and cooling power of superlattice cooler. We also verified the performance with 3D numerical simulation. The results show that the hybrid system allows much higher heat flux for a hotspot while superlattice cooler locates correctly. As an example, if we have a ZT=0.5 material, a 500m x 500m hotspot can be maintained at 85 o C (ambient 35 o C) with around 850W/cm 2 while a simple liquid cooling reaches 620W/cm 2 for the same 12W/cm 2 of overall cooling power.

Temperature at the hotspot can be substantially greater than rest of the microprocessor, potentially compromising performance and reliability. In this paper, we have presented a hybrid cooling scheme which combines microfluidic and solidstate cooling techniques. Localized hotspot with heat flux close to 250 W/cm 2 has been successfully removed using this hybrid scheme. The effect of ambient temperature, hotspot size, and superlattice cooler electrode location is also studied.

Current state-of-the-art thermal interface materials (TIMs) have resistances in the range of 5–10 mm2·K/W. At these values, particularly for the emerging highly nonhomogeneous materials, standard measurement techniques often fail to provide accurate results. This paper describes the use of infrared microscopy for measuring the total thermal resistance across multiple interfaces. The method is capable of measuring samples of wide ranging resistances with thicknesses ranging from 50–250 μm. This steady-state technique has several advantages over other methods, including the elimination of the need for intrusive temperature monitoring devices like thermocouples at the area of interest and the need for a priori knowledge of the specific heat and density of the materials of interest, as in the transient techniques for determining thermal res...

A hybrid cooling scheme has been proposed, which combines solid-state cooling to remove the dynamically changing hotspots in real time while addressing the steady-state background power dissipation using liquid cooling in embedded microchannels. In this paper, we have investigated the transient behavior of the hybrid scheme through experiments as well as computational modeling. Infrared microscopy, equipped with transient detector, was used to study the transient cooling behavior when a power spike is produced by a microfabricated heater, emulating a hot spot. The results indicate that solid-state superlattice cooling (SLC) offers an extremely fast transient response, having time constant of the order of few tens of microseconds which matches with dynamics of microprocessor power dissipation.
