Meindl and was published in the Proc. IEEE Int. Interconnect Technol. Conf., pp. 13-15 in 2008. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe paper described compact physical modeling and wafer-level batch fabrication technologies of advanced cooling technologies for 3D stack of high-performance chips. In particular, this paper reports, for the first time, the integration of electrical through-silicon vias with monolithic microchannel heat sink in 3D stack. The demonstrated technologies enable the liquid cooling of each chip in the stack. The reduced thermal resistance offered by microchannel cooling enables substantial improvement of clock frequency as well as reduced power dissipation for each chip in the 3D stack.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Meindl\u0027s group also received the winning paper award of the Motorola Electronic Packaging Fellowship from the 2008 Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC). The conference was held in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.  The award winning paper, \u00223D stacking of chips with electrical and microfluidic I\/O interconnects,\u0022 was written by C. King, D. Sekar, M. Bakir, B. Dang, J. Pikarsky, and J. Meindl and was published in the Proc. Electronic Components and Technol. Conf., pp. 1-7 in 2008. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis paper described low-cost chip input\/output interconnect and assembly technologies to enable the \u0022routing\u0022 of electrical and fluidic networks in a 3D stack of chips. This is important because it enables, for the first time, the ability to deliver\u003Cbr \/\u003E\na coolant from the system motherboard directly to each silicon die in the stack to reject heat. These technologies offer significant cost, form factor, and performance benefits over \u0022typical\u0022 fluidic delivery methods.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"The Gigascale Integration Group, led by ECE Professor James D.
