Title
Thermo-mechanical analysis of a reconfigurable wafer-scale integrated circuit
Abstract
This paper presents thermo-mechanical investigation results of a reconfigurable wafer-scale integrated circuit, the WaferIC™, dedicated to electronic systems prototyping. The proposed approach carefully selects materials combined with an active cooling mechanism to avoid critical localized thermal peaks and associated large thermal stresses. The performance of the approach was evaluated and tested using finite element methods and steady state thermo-mechanical results are provided. During the development of the WaferIC, the thermo-mechanical design aspects were proven crucial to its reliable operation. Large and possibly excessive values of stress can be induced on the WaferIC by a variety of operations and processing steps during fabrication, including attachment and encapsulation, if not properly designed.
