Flexible and Conformal Thermal Ground Planes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report novel flexible thermal ground planes (FTGPs) based on heat pipe technology. FTGP’s effective thermal conductivities are much higher than those of copper and graphite heat spreaders’. We report mylaraluminum, copper-Kapton, and all-polymer FTGP prototypes and advanced technologies which will further enable high-performance FTGPs.

Thermal-aware DC IR-drop co-analysis using non-conformal domain decomposition methods
Almost all practical engineering applications are multi-physics in nature, and various physical phenomena usually interact and couple with each other. For instance, the resistivity of most conducting metals increases linearly with increases in the surrounding temperature resulting from Joule heating by electrical currents flowing through conductors. Therefore, in order to accurately characteriz...
متن کاملThe Morphology of Vesicles of Higher Topological Genus: Conformal Degeneracy and Conformal Modes
— The morphology of vesicles with topological genus g = 2 is studied using the properties of Willmore surfaces together with the conformal invariance of the bending energy of fluid membranes. In the phase diagram of the bilayer couple model, a region exists where vesicle shapes are given by Willmore surfaces. Within this region, shapes in general have no mirror symmetries and the ground state i...
متن کاملThermal Transport in Chiral Conformal Theories and Hierarchical Quantum Hall States
Chiral conformal field theories are characterized by a ground-state current at finite temperature, that could be observed, e.g. in the edge excitations of the quantum Hall effect. We show that the corresponding thermal conductance is directly proportional to the gravitational anomaly of the conformal theory, upon extending the well-known relation between specific heat and conformal anomaly. The...
متن کاملTest Circuits for 3-D Systems Integration
Three test circuits have been developed to experimentally demonstrate and stress the state-of-the-art in 3D integrated systems. Several critical elements of this emerging technology, synchronization, power delivery, and thermal management, are just beginning to be explored. The three test circuits explore these three fundamental design issues. The first test circuit examines multi-plane synchro...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Quantum Quenches
We study the problem of a quantum quench in which the initial state is the ground state of an inhomogeneous hamiltonian, in two different models, conformal field theory and ordinary free field theory, which are known to exhibit thermalisation of finite regions in the homogeneous case. We derive general expressions for the evolution of the energy flow and correlation functions, as well as the en...
