- Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. They are light in weight yet stronger than most of the other materials. They can be made both highly conductive and semi-conductive. They can be made from nano-sized small catalyst particles and extend to tens of millimeters long. Since CNTs emerged as a hot topic in the early 1990s, numerous research efforts have been spent on the study of the various properties of this new material. CNTs have been proposed as alternative materials of potential excellence in a lot of applications such as electronics, chemical sensors, mechanical sensors/actuators and composite materials, etc. This paper reviews the use of CNTs particularly in electronics manufacturing and packaging field. The progresses of three most important applications, including CNT-based thermal interface materials, CNT-based interconnections and CNT-based cooling devices are reviewed. The growth and post-growth processing of CNTs for specific applications are introduced and the tailoring of CNTs properties, i.e., electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and strength, etc., is discussed with regard to specific application requirement. As the semiconductor industry is still driven by the need of getting smaller and faster, CNTs and the related composite systems as emerging new materials are likely to provide the solution to the future challenges as we make more and more complex electronics devices and systems.

- Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. They are mechanically strong at nanoscale yet also flexible if made micro- or milli-meter long. They are synthesized from nano-sized catalyst particles and can be made up to millimeters. A lot of research studies have been spent on various properties of the CNTs. They are regarded as an alternative material in a lot of applications such as ICs, MEMS, sensors, biomedical and other composite materials, etc. Among them, the thermally grown CNTs using chemical vapor deposition method is of particular interested in electronics applications as an interconnect material. This paper reviews the use of CNTs as an interconnect material for packaging applications. The growth and post-growth processing of CNTs are covered and the tailoring of CNTs properties, i.e. electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and strength, etc., is discussed. To make the electronics systems smaller, faster and more power efficient, CNTs as a potential new material are likely to provide the solution to the future challenges as the electronics systems are getting more and more functional and complex nowadays.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Packaging of electronics is an important technology to interconnect, power, cool and protect the components in highly integrated systems. Continuous size shrinking and function integration of future electronics are expected to be driven mainly by the advances in packaging technology. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are proposed for many novel packaging solutions thanks to their unique electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. This paper introduces potential use of CNTs in electronics packaging, in both interconnection and thermal management applications. The challenges of fully exploiting the great potential of CNTs in this field are also discussed.

- Cooling of microsystem electronic device is of great importance, according to increased heat dissipation based on Moore's law. Different solutions are proposed to overcome this issue. On-chip microchannel cooler implements micro-fabrication techniques to achieve large areas in small volume size by introducing micro channel CNT fins with smaller fin pitch. In this paper, a 3D model of this structure is simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS® software, and effect of various parameters such as channel width and height is discussed to achieve an optimized cooling for this system.

- As the integrity of micro electronic devices improves, the heat power of chips is getting higher and higher. How to reduce the temperature of micro electronic devices effectively becomes more and more important. In this paper, a micro-channel cooler test system is set up. By measuring the temperature and pressure at inlet and outlet of the micro cooler and the average temperature of micro cooler bottom, the heat transfer performance of the copper based CNTs coated micro cooler is researched. The thermal resistance of copper and silicon based CNTs coated micro cooler are compared. It is shown that the copper based CNTs coated micro cooler has good thermal dissipation capacity than that of the Silicon based CNTs coated micro cooler.

- Due to their unique thermal, electronic and mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have aroused various attentions of many researchers. Among all the techniques to fabricate CNTs, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) has been extensively developed as one growth technique to produce vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs). Though CNTs show a trend to be integrated into nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS), CNT growth still remains a mysterious technology. This paper attempts to reveal the effects of substrates and underlayers to CNT synthesis. We tried five different substrates by substituting intrinsic Si with high resistivity ones and by increasing the thickness of SiO2 insulativity layer. And also, we demonstrated an innovative way of adjusting CNT density by changing the thickness of Cu underlayer. © 2013 Shanghai University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

- In the present paper, a chip with a Pt-based RTD that functions as a heater and sensor is tested under serial power loads, and infrared (IR) thermal imaging system is adopted to obtain the thermal measurement. Comparisons of the hotspot temperatures of the chip obtained by RTD and IR methods have been made, where different surfaces of the chip were observed by the IR camera. Combing with the heat conduction law, the IR results of the test chip with surface preparation showed quite a good agreement with the RTD data, verifying the validation of the IR analysis method.

- Efficient heat dissipation is becoming an urgent demand in electronics and optoelectronics because of increasing power density, which is generating more heat than ever. Graphene, an atomic layer of carbon, has been shown to have high thermal conductivity, which makes this material a promising candidate for heat dissipation in electronics. Here, we demonstrate a new type of graphene-based film on a test platform to alleviate the thermal issues. Taking advantage of its high in-plane thermal conductivity, CVD-grown graphene has been observed to possess a strong heat-spreading ability. In this paper, a chemical conversion process, including chemical oxidation, exfoliation and reduction, is utilised to fabricate the graphene-based films. Additionally, functionalisation of the film was also performed to diminish the interface thermal resistance between the chip surface and the graphene-based films. Thermal characterisation showed a capacity for effective heat removal, which was indicated by the decrease in the hot spot temperature at the same power loading. In summary, this facile approach may technologically enable large-scale fabrication of graphene-based films for thermal management in high power density devices.
