Carbon Nanotube Bumps for Thermal and Electric Conduction in Transistor

Tags:
semiconductor tech. - manufacturing

Overview The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor chips has rapidly improved the performance of semiconductor products. However, thermal issues that affect semi- conductor chips are becoming more serious. For example, heat transfer has become a very serious problem in the CPUs of personal computers; high-frequency High-Power Amplifiers (HPAs) of mobile communication systems; and power control units of hybrid-car motors. To solve this problem, Fujitsu has been developing semi-conductor heat sinks that exploit the high thermal conductivity of Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs). This paper describes the CNT bumps that have been recently developed for transferring heat and electrically connecting the source, gate, and drain of the high-power, flip-chip amplifiers of mobile communication base stations.

AMD and IBM enter chip alliance

The hundreds of millions of transistors that will be packed into chips coming out in the next few years will create a heat crisis. Transistors require energy but pumping electricity into chips produces heat, which in turn can melt internal...

What will make or break Wi-Fi?

Products will only have the right to bear the name Centrino if they combine the Pentium-M processor (previously known to semiconductor buffs as Banias), specific low-power chipsets (855, for those that care) and an Intel Wi-Fi network card.

Low-end 'Enchilada' spices up Sun server line

Although the company hedged its bets by introducing its own servers with chips from Intel and later AMD, it's still trying to keep as many customers as possible buying its UltraSparc machines. Each can accept a specialised $695 "daughtercard" with...

AMD experiments make better chips

Further thinning, without creative changes, will cause electricity to leak, leading to lower battery life, excessive power consumption, and potentially dangerous levels of heat inside computers. AMD's research was outlined in two papers delivered...

Intel gears up to put an end to PC copper

Unlike wires, which transfer signals with electrons, optical fibre depends on photons, which are far faster and don't generate heat. Heat changes dimensions of everything in a chip," he said. Microprocessors generate substantial amounts of heat...

Minority Report: Will the iPhone save the iPod?

When it chose to use Intel chips in Macs, it was willing to forego the chip giant's marketing millions to avoid adding an Intel-inside sticker to the front of its computers. Apple would need to position the iPhone as part of the iPod product family...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
