Simulation of the temperature field in Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistors can benefit from better models and data for thermal conduction in pure and doped semiconducting materials. This work develops simple algebraic expressions to account for the reduction in thermal conductivity due to the size effect and to the presence of dopant impurities. The model applies to temperatures above 300 K and the results are compared with experimental data for pure and doped silicon layers.

Simulations of the temperature field in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) and strained-Si transistors can benefit from experimental data and modeling of the thin silicon layer thermal conductivity at high temperatures. This work presents the first experimental data for 20 and 100 nm thick single crystal silicon layers at high temperatures and develops algebraic expressions to account for the reduction in thermal conductivity due to the phonon-boundary scattering for pure and doped silicon layers. The model applies to temperatures range 300–1000 K for silicon layer thicknesses from 10 nm to 1 μm (and even bulk) and agrees well with the experimental data. In addition, the model has an excellent agreement with the predictions of thin film thermal conductivity based on thermal conductivity integral and Boltzmann transport equation, although it is significantly more robust and convenient for integration into device simulators. The experimental data and predictions are required for accurate thermal simulation of the semiconductor devices, nanostructures and in particular the SOI and strained-Si transistors.

Basing on coupled thermal conduction and groundwater advection conduction, this paper analyzed the effects to the temperature field and the stress field caused by the Vertical U-tube exchange used in ground source heat pump. And then this paper analyzed the relationship between heat influence radius and thermal conductivity and groundwater advection velocity. Also, we obtained the simple formula which can estimate the heat radius of influence. Basing on coupled thermal conduction and solid mechanics analyzed the stress field caused by thermal expansion. The results show that: without groundwater advection, the heat radius of influence linear correlate to the thermal conductivity; the radius will obviously expand when the groundwater advection velocity is not too small; the stress field caused by thermal expansion near the U-tube is much larger than the farther region and it will trends to balance with the distance increasing.

We show that a large set of nanofluid thermal conductivity data falls within the upper and lower Maxwell bounds for homogeneous systems. This indicates that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids is largely dependent on whether the nanoparticles stay dispersed in the base fluid, form large aggregates, or assume a percolating fractal configuration. The experimental data, which are strikingly analogous to those in most solid composites and liquid mixtures, provide strong evidence for the classical nature of thermal conduction in nanofluids.

Electrons and phonons are the carriers of heat in the a-b plane of the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7. In the absence of boundary scattering, the a-b plane thermal conductivity and the mean free path of each carrier type are calculated as functions of temperature using kinetic theory, the two-fluid model of the superconducting state, and experimental data for the thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of a single crystal. The reduction by boundary scattering of the effective a-b plane thermal conductivity along an epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7 film is predicted as a function of temperature and film thickness. The size effect on the phonon conductivity dominates over the size effect on the electron conductivity. The predicted electron mean free path is limited by scattering on defects and is in very good agreement with experimental data from infrared spectroscopy.

AbstractUnderstanding thermal conduction in interlayer dielectrics (ILDs) is important for the optimal design of interconnect layers in backend semiconductor processing for future high-performance nano-scale devices. Reduced thermal conductivity of porous ILDs for example can adversely affect the temperature rise in the embedded metal lines leading to un-desirable reliability issues and design constraints. In this paper, we report results of our theoretical and experimental investigation of thermal transport in amorphous and porous dielectrics. A phonon-hopping model has been adapted to calculate the thermal conductivity in disordered materials. The value of hopping integral has been calculated by comparing the modeling results with experimental data for various amorphous and porous materials. The model shows reasonable agreement with experimental data for various amorphous materials including SiO2 and other glasses over a wide temperature range from 50K – 300K. The model suggests that the hopping of localized high frequency phonons is a dominant thermal transport mechanism in such material systems.

A physical model is formulated to evaluate the steady temperature field of honeycomb-core panel. The model takes into account the coupled effect of aerothermal heating and radiate energy from front and rear plate and honeycomb thermal conduction. The equations that are established based on the model are solved in numerical method and the equivalent thermal conductivity is obtained. The model is also used to investigate the effect of coming fluid and the geometric parameters of honeycomb structure on the TPS capacity.

ABSTRACT. In this study, we developed a model to predict the thermal conductivity of full rocks from measurements on biphasic mixtures of grains of these rocks. Firstly, we measured the density and thermal conductivity of the full rock samples. The full samples were then grounded and we measured the effective thermal conductivity of mixtures prepared with grains of these rocks in different porosities using air as saturating. Using the flexible model of thermal conduction developed in this study, which we call Geoterm, and the rule of generalized mixture due to Korvin, we calculated the average values of the numerical factors of the equations of these two models and, with these equations, we predicted the thermal conductivity of the integrity rock by adjusting the equations of these models with experimental data. Even with these equations and the data of the integrity rocks and mixtures, we predicted the effective thermal conductivity of the samples for the various porosities of the mixtures. The predicted results for the full rock, as compared to the measured values, showed small and large discrepancies due to the large variation range of the thermal conductivity of the full rocks, resulting in ranges also wide for the numerical factors of the two equations. In agreement with Krupiczka empirical expression, the values predicted by the Geoterm and Korvin models for effective thermal conductivity showed lower discrepancies when compared to other models observed in this study.Keywords: rock thermal conductivity, effective thermal conductivity, binary mixture model.RESUMO. Neste estudo, desenvolvemos um modelo para predizer a condutividade térmica de rochas íntegras a partir de medidas em misturas binárias de grãos destas rochas. Primeiramente, medimos a densidade e a condutividade térmica das amostras das rochas íntegras. As amostras foram, em seguida, moídas e medimos a condutividade térmica efetiva de misturas preparadas com os grãos dessas rochas em diferentes porosidades usando ar como saturante. Usando o modelo flexível de condução térmica desenvolvido neste estudo, denominado Geoterm, e a regra da mistura generalizada de Korvin, calculamos os valores médios dos fatores numéricos das equações destes dois modelos e, com estas predissemos a condutividade térmica da rocha íntegra pelo ajuste dos parâmetros desses modelos com os dados experimentais. Ainda com essas equações e com os dados das rochas íntegras, como também das misturas, predissemos a condutividade térmica efetiva das amostras para as várias porosidades das misturas. Os resultados preditos para a amostra íntegra, quando comparados aos valores medidos, apresentaram discrepâncias pequenas e grandes, consequência de a faixa de variação da condutividade térmica das rochas ser bem larga resultando em faixas também largas para os fatores numéricos das duas equações. Em concordância com a expressão empírica de Krupiczka, os valores preditos pelos modelos Geoterm e Korvin para condutividade térmica efetiva mostraram menores discrepâncias quando comparados a outros modelos verificados neste estudo.Palavras-chave: condutividade térmica de rocha, condutividade térmica efetiva, modelo de mistura binária.
