Thermal management of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) is an important application for CFD software, which is helping designers use LEDs for high-power lighting applications. However, LEDs are changing our lives in so many more ways than simply providing more energy efficient or more aesthetic lighting solutions.
Last year I posted about a light therapy device that desensitizes the nasal passages, inhibiting … Read More

If you are involved with semiconductor packaging design, then have I got news for you.
We just announced the availability of FloTHERM IC – a web-based tool that delivers a high level of automation to design tasks associated with full-spectrum thermal characterization and validation.
From what I understand, a typical semiconductor thermal team spends about 60% of their time on standard package thermal … Read More

Integrated circuits can be found pretty much everywhere – in electronic equipment such as computers, phones, traffic lights and in anything that uses electronic components even planes, trains and automobiles! These little chips are getting more and more powerful thanks to advancing technology. But at the same time the devices that they go into are getting smaller and smaller; thus, forcing engineers … Read More
