Exploiting the open, irregular structure of micro-porous ceramic, the MPCHS heat sinks provide a greater surface area to contact with the air compared to metal. The material structure, in turn, ...

Aimed at solving the heat challenge in the next generation of power electronics and systems in a package, research and innovation hub imec recently revealed a miniature silicon-based microchannel heat ...

At this week's Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, imec presented a silicon-based compact microchannel heat sink that enables high heat flux dissipation. The heat sink, attached to a high ...

The heat generated from large power semiconductors such as IGBTs, diodes, or thyristors can be as high as several kilowatts. While conventional extruded heat sinks have been one of the most widely ...

When choosing an effective heat sink, engineers usually consider its price, size, weight, performance and other features. But equal care should be given to deciding how the heat sink will be attached ...

Developed by Malaysian scientists, the proposed multi-level aluminum fin heat sinks (MLFHS) were found able to reduce the module operating temperature by up to 8.45 degrees Celsius and increase power ...
