3D computational fluid dynamics simulation of carbon nanotube based microchannel on-chip cooler
Paper in proceeding, 2010

Cooling of microsystem electronic device is of great importance, according to increased heat dissipation based on Moore's law. Different solutions are proposed to overcome this issue. On-chip microchannel cooler implements micro-fabrication techniques to achieve large areas in small volume size by introducing micro channel CNT fins with smaller fin pitch. In this paper, a 3D model of this structure is simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS® software, and effect of various parameters such as channel width and height is discussed to achieve an optimized cooling for this system.
