Independent interlayer microfluidic cooling for heterogeneous 3D IC applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presented for the first time is the implementation of independent microfluidic cooling of different tiers in a 3D stack based on their power dissipation. The impact of this approach on heterogeneous 3D IC stacks, such as memory-on-processor and processor-on-processor with different power dissipations, has been experimentally explored. The junction temperature difference between tiers with different power dissipation is decreased from 12 to 7°C. Significant junction temperature reduction and thermal decoupling are achieved by this approach compared to air-cooling.

ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT AND MICROFLUIDIC COOLING WITHIN 3D ICs AND SILICON INTERPOSER
Heat dissipation is a significant challenge for threedimensional integrated circuits (3D IC) due to the lack of heat removal paths and increased power density. In this paper, a 3D IC system with an embedded microfluidic cooling heat sink (MFHS) is presented. In the proposed 3D IC system, high power tiers contain embedded MFHS and high-aspect ratio (23:1) through-silicon-vias (TSVs) routed throu...
