Semiconductor thermal metrology must evolve for advanced 3D architectures

A whitepaper from IEEE Spectrum and Wiley highlights the critical need for evolving thermal metrology in semiconductor design. As devices become more complex with 3D architectures and thinner layers, heat transport is increasingly confined and interface-dominated. Accurate thermal characterization is now essential for validating models, guiding design decisions, and ensuring the long-term reliability of modern electronic systems. AI
