TY - JOUR TI - Thermal management of 3-D integrated circuits with special structures AU - Wang Kang-Jia AU - Li Cui-Ling JN - Thermal Science PY - 2021 VL - 25 IS - 3 SP - 2221 EP - 2225 PT - Article AB - Different stacked structures affect greatly the temperature distribution of a 3-D integrated circuit, and an optimal structure is much needed to reduce the maximal temperature. This paper suggests a numerical approach to such structures with different heat source distributions. The results show that an optimal stacked structure can reduce the maximum temperature by 8.7℃.
