A Semi-Analytical Thermal Modeling Framework for Liquid-Cooled ICs

David Atienza Alonso, Arvind Raj Mahankali Sridhar, Mohamed Mostafa Sabry Aly

While possessing the potential to replace conventional air-cooled heat sinks, inter-tier microchannel liquid cooling of 3D ICs also creates the problem of increased thermal gradients from the fluid inlet to outlet ports [1, 2]. These cooling-induced therma ...
