Abstract

The increase in speed and the reduction in size and weight of electronic components have resulted in the development of Multi-Chip-Module (MCM) technology in recent years. However, the increasing power density in such modules led to the need for thermal models of such electronic components. The Department of Technology has developed a Thermal-Model-Generator (TMG) for MCMs to provide thermal models. The numerical method implemented in the MCM-TMG software is based on physical representations of thermal flows and calculation of the associated thermal resistance.
