Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

Vertical integration is a promising solution to further increase the performance of future ICs, but such 3D ICs present complex thermal issues that cannot be solved by conventional cooling techniques. Interlayer liquid cooling has been proposed to extract the heat accumulated within the chip. However, the development of liquid-cooled 3D ICs strongly relies on the availability of accurate and fast thermal models.
