Just find a way to stay cool: The confluence of high-power chip heat dissipation and localized hot spots expose the limitations of current cooling methods in electronics. To overcome these limitations it is essential to rapidly spread the on-chip sites heat generation and dissipate the extracted heat. The authors investigate the impact of the combination of a diamond heat-spreading layer and microfluidic convection on the performance of a model electronic chip with localized heating. It is shown experimentally and numerically that this combination can significantly reduce the maximum chip temperature.
