Breakfast Bytes: The Brief but Spectacular History of Shockley Labs

Paul McLellan

If you read my post Who Put the Silicon in Silicon Valley? then you know my conclusion: Let's go with Shockley. He invented the transistor, came here, hired a bunch of young PhDs, and sent them out (by accident, not design) to create the companies, ...

PCB、IC封装：设计与仿真分析: 警惕发热！——热模型交换

Sigrity

如今，工程师们面临着复杂且快速的设计变更，需要运用多个设计工具才能协同完成。 MCAD和ECAD的设计系统由于采用其中性文件格式（如SAT、IGES、IDF等），已经很好地解决了这个问题。然而，在一个设计的关键领域——即热仿真领域，中性文件概念尚未采及。这导致了计算流体动力学（CFD）分析软件中缺乏标准化的文件格式，从而使得热工程师们多年来备受煎熬。标准化的缺乏是造成整个供应链存在严重低效率瓶颈的罪魁祸首，并且转换错误及其它错误更会导致模型精准度出现问题，从而大大增加原...

PCB、IC封装：设计与仿真分析: 封装/ PCB系统的热分析：挑战及对策

Sigrity

如今越来越多的封装/ PCB系统设计需要进行热分析。功耗是封装/ PCB系统设计中的关键问题，需要仔细考虑热和电两个领域的问题。为了更好地理解热分析，我们以固体中的热传导为例，并利用两个领域的对偶性。图1和表1描述了电域与热域之间的基本关系。图1. 电域与热域之间的基本关系（点击查看大图）表1. 电域与热域之间的基本关系（点击查看大图）电域与热域之间存在一些差异，比如：在电域，电流被限制在特定电路元件内流动，但在热域中，热流通过三种热传导机制（传导、对流和辐射）在三维空间从...
