Abstract

A discussion is presented of thermal figures-of-merit (FOMs) for chip package thermal resistance, for use in evaluating competing thermal designs, and analysis techniques, for use in determining operating temperature profiles. The junction-to-case thermal resistance, ΘJC, as well as the junction-to-fluid thermal resistance, have been used in both of these roles for first-level packaging. The use of a modified ΘJC is proposed. Experimental data indicate that the relations developed are capable not only of accurately describing the chip temperature for a variety of thermal management strategies, but also of highlighting the impact of specific thermal design features.
