Thermal Management of High Speed Systems:
The development of high speed microprocessors demands ATE (Automatic Testing Equipment) industry to develop high performance IC testing technology. In ATE , the high performance IC devices, small equipment footprint and CE certification create significant challenges on thermal reliability. In the technical session in June, Dr. Sen Hu is going to overview the cooling challenges in ATE industry and practical approaches to solve the problems to improve the overall system reliability. The discussion will also examine compromises in thermal designs.
