Fujipoly recently introduced its new thin film, thermal interface product, Sarcon® YR‐c. The Sarcon® YR‐c effectively eliminates near‐microscopic air gaps that exist between components when placed between a heat source such as a high‐performance semiconductor and a nearby heatsink, said Fujipoly. The Sarcon® YR‐c delivers a thermal conductivity of 4.0 W/m°K with a thermal … [Read more...]
New Smartphone to Use Heat Pipe Cooling
Samsung has declared that the new Galaxy S7 will use heat pipes for its cooling system. Smartphones typically lack ventilation holes and fans, so smartphone companies are moving to adopt heat pipes “because the technology should allow for more sustained boost clocking ad steadier overall performance,” according to ExtremeTech.com. “The other advantage of a heat pipe is that … [Read more...]
Nominations Open for IEEE ITherm Achievement Award
The biennial ITherm Achievement Award is open for nominations for 2016. The Award is presented in recognition of significant contributions made in thermal and thermomechanical management of electronics, of pioneering and sustaining electronics thermal/thermomechanical research contributions, of service to the electronics thermal/thermo-mechanical management community, and of … [Read more...]
Using Thermal Interfaces to Cool Optoelectronic Microprocessors
Recently, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology researchers Dmitry Fedyanin and Andrey Vyshnevyy have solved and “demonstrated how to efficiently cool optoelectronic microprocessors” by using industry-standard heat sinks, according to Phys.org. Optoelectronic chips’ active plasmonic components tend to overheat from high-speed data transfer, but by switching electrons with … [Read more...]
Redesigned Heat Sinks Using 3D Printers
Plunkett Associates has successfully redesigned heat-sinks to improve convection cooling performance using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), or 3D printing. “Each heat-sink was first produced in virtual form and simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software,” reported 3Ders.org. “The top five heat-sinks were then built by 3T RPD Ltd. using DMLS and physically … [Read more...]
