The increasing of power and processing speed and miniaturization of central processor unit (CPU) used in electronics equipment requires better performing thermal management systems. A typical thermal management package consists of thermal interfaces, heat dissipaters, and external cooling systems. There have been a number of experimental techniques and procedures for estimating thermal conductivity of thin, compressible thermal interface material (TIM). The TIM performance is affected by many factors and thus TIM should be evaluated under specified application conditions. In compact packaging of electronic equipment the chip is interfaced with a thin heat spreader. As the package is made thinner, the coupling between heat flow through TIM and that in the heat spreader becomes stronger. Thus, a TIM characterization system for considering the heat spreader effect is proposed and demonstrated in detail in this paper. The TIM test apparatus developed based on ASTM D-5470 standard for thermal interface resistance measurement of high performance TIM, including the precise measurement of changes in in-situ materials thickness. Thermal impedances are measured and compared for different directions of heat dissipation. The measurement of the TIM under the practical conditions can thus be used as the thermal criteria for the TIM selection.

The aim of this study is to quantitatively demonstrate the possibility of heat transfer by thermal radiation by comparing heat transfer by conventional heat transfer and radiation by radiation. 1) The heat transfer was measured by using filler of TIM material with low thermal conductivity (CuS). As a result, heat transfer was easier than ceramic with high thermal conductivity ($Al_2O_3$ and $Si_3N_4$). 2) The reason for this is thought to be that the infrared wave due to radiation of the air diaphragm has moved easily. 3) From the above results, the heat dissipation of the TIM material indicates the possibility of heat transfer by thermal radiation.

고출력 LED 소자의 활용이 많아지면서, 온도상승 문제를 극복하고 신뢰성을 향상해야 하는 요구가 높아짐에 따라 광원 패키지의 방열이 매우 중요해졌다. 패키지에 칩을 접합하는 열전달 물질(TIM, Thermal Interface Material)은 열전도도가 높은 물질과 폴리머를 혼합하여 재료 자체의 열전달 특성을 향상시키는 방안이 사용되어 왔으나, 실제 패키지의 열 특성은 칩 부착계면의 높은 열저항으로 인해 기대에 미치지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 diamond 분말과 epoxy의 혼합으로 열 특성을 개선함에 있어서, 과산화수소를 적용하면서도 기포를 효율적으로 제거하여, 각 계면의 친화성을 높이고 전체 점도를 낮추어 diamond 분말의 분산을 촉진하고, 결과적으로 대부분의 경우에 전체 열 저항을 약 30% 이상 개선하였다.

Thermal management is a critical issue for the development of high-performance electronic devices. In this paper, thermal conductivity values of mild steel and stainless steel(STS) are measured by light flash analysis(LFA) and dynamic thermal interface material(DynTIM) Tester. The shapes of samples for thermal property measurement are disc type with a diameter of 12.6 mm. For samples with different thickness, the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity are measured by LFA. For identical samples, the thermal resistance($R_{th}$) and thermal conductivity are measured using a DynTIM Tester. The thermal conductivity of samples with different thicknesses, measured by LFA, show similar values in a range of 5 %. However, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester show widely scattered values according to the application of thermal grease. When we use the thermal grease to remove air gaps, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester is larger than that measured by LFA. But, when we did not use thermal grease, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester is smaller than that measured by LFA. For the DynTIM Tester results, we also find that the slope of the graph of thermal resistance vs. thickness is affected by the usage of thermal grease. From this, we are able to conclude that the wide scattering of thermal conductivity for samples measured with the DynTIM Tester is caused by the change of slope in the graph of thermal resistance-thickness.

In this study, cooling and heat-transfer tests are performed to compare and evaluate the thermal conductivity in a prepared CNT TIM (thermal interface material). A polymerized CNT heat-transfer resin and commercial thermal grease (Shinetsu G-747) were applied for a comparison test in both cases. Cooling experiments with an aluminum foil specimen were performed in order to measure the temperature distribution using an infrared camera, and in heat radiation experiments, performance testing of the thermal conductivity was conducted using high-power LEDs. Carbon resin with the polymerization of graphite and carbon black, and CNT-polymerized CNT resin with graphite and carbon black were tested and compared with using G-747. It was found that the cooling performance and the heat transfer ability in both the carbon resin and the CNT-polymerized CNT resin were greater than those of G-747 because the temperature by 5. $0^{\circ}C$ in both cases appeared lower than that of the G-747.

Various morphologies of copper oxide (CuO) have been considered to be of both fundamental and practical importance in the field of electronic materials. In this study, using Cu ($0.1{\mu}m$ and $7{\mu}m$) particles, flake-type CuO particles were grown via a wet oxidation method for 5min and 60min at $75^{\circ}C$. Using the prepared CuO, AlN, and silicone base as reagents, thermal interface material (TIM) compounds were synthesized using a high speed paste mixer. The properties of the thermal compounds prepared using the CuO particles were observed by thermal conductivity and breakdown voltage measurement. Most importantly, the volume of thermal compounds created using CuO particles grown from $0.1{\mu}m$ Cu particles increased by 192.5 % and 125 % depending on the growth time. The composition of CuO was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis; cross sections of the grown CuO particles were observed using focused ion beam (FIB), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive analysis by X-ray (EDAX). In addition, the thermal compound dispersion of the Cu and Al elements were observed by X-ray elemental mapping.

고출력 반도체 광원의 열유동 특성을 분석하고, 열전달 병목지점을 파악하여 열저항을 개선하는 방안을 도출하고, 전산모사를 통하여 개선 효과를 확인하였다. 띠구조 활성층을 가진 LD 광원의 경우에 발열부의 부피가 작을 뿐 아니라 발열면적이 좁아서 발열부 근처의 열전달 유효단면적이 매우 좁을 수 밖에 없는데, 이 부근의 경계면에 그래핀층을 추가적으로 적용하면 전체 열저항이 확연히 개선되는 것이 전산모사 되었다. 이는 열전달 경로상의 유효단면적이 넓어지는 효과를 가져와 전체 열저항이 확연히 개선되는 것으로 파악되었다.

고성능 소자의 전력밀도가 증가함에 따라 소자의 열 관리는 주요 핵심 기술로 부각되었고, 기존의 heat sink나 TIM(thermal interface material)으로는 소자의 열 문제를 해결하는데 한계가 있다. 이에 최근에는 열 유속(heat flux)을 증가시키고자 액체 냉각 시스템에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 TSV(through Si via)와 microchannel을 이용하여 칩 레벨 액체 냉각 시스템을 제작하고 시스템의 냉각 특성을 분석하였다. TSV와 microchannel은 Si 웨이퍼에 DRIE(deep reactive ion etching)을 이용하여 공정하였고, 3가지 다른 형상의 TSV를 제작하여 TSV 형상이 냉각 효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. TSV와 microchannel 내 액체흐름 형상은 형광현미경으로 관찰하였고, 액체 냉각에 대한 효율은 실온에서 $300^{\circ}C$까지 시편을 가열하면서 적외선현미경을 이용하여 온도를 측정 분석하였다.

As the demand of the LED for lighting that emits light by p-n junction is increasing, studies on heatproof plate technology is being conducted to minimize the temperature of the LED lighting. As for the temperature of the LED devices, their light emitting efficiency decreases and the maximum lifespan drops down to 1/5. Therefore there are heat dissipation studies going on to minimize the heat. For LED heat dissipation, aluminum heat sink plates are mostly used. For this paper, we designed heat sink that fits residential 20W COB LED Down Light; packaged the heat sink and 20W COB and analyzed and evaluated the thermal properties through a Solidworks flow simulation. We are planning to design the optimal heat sink plate to solve the thermal agglomeration considering TIM(Thermal Interface material).
