Abstract Scope |
In microelectronics packaging, efficient thermal management is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity of semiconductor devices. This work, conducted as an undergraduate class project, combines generative design and additive manufacturing to develop heat sink concepts to enhance thermal management of microelectronics packages, using fluid flow to enable chip cooling. While this work stops shy of thermal analysis, it demonstrates the feasibility of designing and manufacturing surface-based structures within the heat sink structure itself for optimizing fluid flow, thereby enhancing heat removal without needing bulky heat sinks. |
