All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
—Temperature has a strong influence on integrated circuit (IC) performance, power consumption, and reliability. However, accurate thermal analysis can impose high computation co...
: With technology scaling, elevated temperatures caused by increased power density create a critical bottleneck modulating the circuit operation. With the advent of FinFET technolo...
This paper derives the multi-layer heat conduction Green’s function, by integrating the eigen-expansion technique and the classic transmission line theories, and presents a loga...
