Abstract Light emission and heat generation of Si devices have become important in understanding physical phenomena in device degradation and breakdown mechanisms. This paper correlates the photon emission with the temperature distribution of a short channel nMOSFET. Investigations have been carried out to localize and characterize the hot spots using a spectroscopic photon emission microscope and a scanning thermal microscope. Frontside investigations have been carried out and are compared and discussed with backside investigations. A method has been developed to register the backside thermal image with the backside illuminated image.

Cavitation starting at the point of separation on a smooth cylindrical wall was observed. At the earliest stage of cavitation, a cavity suddenly emerged at the point of separation with its upstream tip attached to the wall. Differing from incipient cavities arising at projected edges, the present one neither stayed nor formed a stable bubble on the wall. As it moved slightly downstream, the newly born cavity underwent severe deformation: i.e. it grew explosively, then split and ultimately vanished in reverse from the tail back, in as short a period as one ten-thousandth of a second. Flashing light was emitted from the cavity as it expanded, and a transient electric charge was also detected from the oil downstream in synchronization with this light emission. Moreover, a streamline extending from the point of separation was spontaneously visualized. In order to establish the reasons for this visualization, temperature distribution across the streamline was measured, revealing that heat has to be generated at the separation point. Finally, the mechanism of tensile stress and heat generation at the point of separation is theoretically discussed on the basis of Landau's analysis of a boundary layer flow along a separation line.

An analytical study of the temperature distribution along thin fins with temperature-dependent thermal properties and internal heat generation is presented. The analysis utilizes a recently published bounding procedure which yields analytical and continuous bounding functions for the temperature distribution. Several numerical examples are considered. Tabular and graphical results are given. The effects of variable thermal properties and internal heat generation are also shown.

Abstract By adding a transmission grating into the optical path of our photon emission system and after calibration, we have completed several failure analysis case studies. In some cases, additional information on the emission sites is provided, as well as understanding of the behavior of transistors that are associated to the fail site. The main application of the setup is used for finding and differentiating easily related emission spots without advance knowledge in light emission mechanisms in integrated circuits.

Numerical simulation of automotive tires is still a challenging problem due to their complex geometry and structures, as well as the non-uniform loading and operating conditions. Hysteretic loss and rolling resistance are the most crucial features of tire design for engineers. A decoupled numerical model was proposed to predict hysteretic loss and temperature distribution in a tire, however temperature dependent material properties being utilized only during the heat generation analysis stage. Cyclic change of strain energy values was extracted from 3-D deformation analysis, which was further used in a thermal analysis as input to predict temperature distribution and thermal heat generation due to hysteretic loss. This method was compared with the decoupled model where temperature dependence was ignored in both deformation and thermal analysis stages. Deformation analysis results were compared with experimental data available. The proposed method of numerical modeling was quite accurate and results were found to be close to the actual tire behavior. It was shown that one-way-coupled method provides rolling resistance and peak temperature values that are in agreement with experimental values as well.

In the underground combustion process, part of the heat generated at the combustion front is carried downstream by convection. Temperature distribution in the combustion process can be obtained by including a delta function for heat generation at the combustion surface. This is similar to the hot-fluid injection model of Lauwerier. The dimensionless temperature in the reservoir, phi T1(x, t), and the overburden, phi T2(x, y, t), are as follows: ..........................................(1) ..........................................(2) The ratio R of the heat-front velocity, u, h, to the combustion front velocity, uc, is one of the most important factors governing the temperature distribution in the pay zone. For cases of ub less than uc, no heat is carried ahead of the combustion front and the temperature at the combustion front remains constant for all times. The fraction of the heat stored between the heat front and the combustion front decreases as the time increases. This is because more of the heat is consumed in heating the formation behind the heat front and in heating the cap and bass rock. A more advantageous condition obtains for uh is greater than uc. For this case, the formation ahead of the combustion front is preheated and the amount of heat in this region increases with time. Therefore, due to heat generation and preheating, the total temperature rise at the combustion front also increases with time. Eq. 1 also shows that the temperature at the combustion front is higher at a given time for a thinner reservoir. This seemingly paradoxical result takes place because the amount paradoxical result takes place because the amount of heat recovered from the overburden and subrock upstream of the combustion front is almost independent of the pay zone thickness. On the other hand, this heat is distributed in the pay zone, which has a heat content directly proportional to the formation thickness b. For thin reservoirs, therefore, the temperature rise in the pay zone due to heat recuperation is higher than that in thick reservoirs. For very thick pay zones (h-oo) there would be no heat recuperation, and consequently the combustion- front temperatures would be lowest. For many cases encountered, uh is smaller than uc. Convective-heat transport. ahead of the combustion front can be achieved by increasing uh to obtain the condition uh, >uc. The wet and partially quenched combustion processes have a similar objective. The temperature at the combustion front, however, decreases as the uh/uc ratio increases. If this temperature should fall below the ignition point, the fire would die out. Consequently, at any point, the fire would die out. Consequently, at any time there exists a maximum ratio of uh/uc for which the formation ahead of the combustion front can be heated to increase oil mobility while combustion is maintained. For the case where the heat front moves faster than the combustion front (uh is greater than uc), the downstream heat efficiency E can be derived by applying the integration method given in Ref. 3.

Relation between pore model and center-line temperature of high burn up UO2 Pellet. Temperature distribution has been evaluated by using different model of pore distribution.
