Thermal Analysis for Thermal Challenges with Heterogeneous Packaging Abstract: With the commercialization of thermoreflectance thermal imaging Microsanj has met many of the thermal challenges inherent with today’s advanced devices. The thermoreflectance principle exploits the fact that the reflectivity of a material changes with temperature. By measuring the reflectivity change with probing wavelengths in the visible band, this technique supports thermal measurements with diffraction limited spatial resolution in the sub-micron range and a temporal response in the nanosecond range. New thermal analysis challenges are arising with current trends and advances in heterogeneous packaging techniques. To address these new challenges, Microsanj is developing enhancements and new products. A brief description of these techniques including optical pump-probe imaging, flash thermography, over-the-air imaging for the analysis of embedded antennas, and others approaches being investigated will be provided in this presentation.
