An overview of electro-thermal modeling of microsystems is presented. We consider the
most important coupling between thermal and electrical phenomena, and then focus on the …

The growing packing density and power consumption of very large scale integration (VLSI)
circuits have made thermal effects one of the most important concerns of VLSI designers …

This work describes a Fast novel thermal analysis simulation tool for integrated circuits
(FANTASTIC), which is fully automated and relies on an enhanced version of the Multi-Point …

This paper presents an efficient circuit-based approach for the nonlinear dynamic
electrothermal simulation of power devices and systems subject to radical self-heating. The …

High-temperature and temperature nonuniformity in high-performance integrated circuits
(ICs) can significantly degrade chip performance and reliability. Thus, accurate temperature …

Residual lifetime estimation has gained a key point among the techniques that improve the
reliability and the efficiency of power converters. The main cause of failures are the junction …

Compact thermal models are often used during joint electrothermal simulation of
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and circuits. Formal model reduction allows …

Delphi-like Boundary Condition Independent (BCI) Compact Thermal Models (CTMs) are
the standard for modelling single die packages. However their extraction, particularly in the …

In this paper, we present three heuristic error indicators for the iterative model order
reduction of electro-thermal MEMS models via the Arnoldi algorithm. Such error indicators …

Planar Magnetic Components are new alternatives to classic transformers. Based on the
combination of a low profile high frequency magnetic core and a Printed Circuit Board, these …
