Dr. Peter de Bock
Program Director
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) for the US Department of Energy
Presentation Title: ARPA-E High Risk/High Reward Technology Programs in Heat Transfer and Electronics
Abstract: The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E)’s mission is to support transformational high risk/high reward projects in the areas of emissions, energy efficiency and increase leadership in critical technologies. Deployment of renewables, electrified transportation and rise in computing and datacenters, amongst others have led to an increasing role of electronics and electrical systems in our energy supply, transport and demand portfolio.
Due to the variable nature of power produced by renewables, it is projected that in the future up to 80% of all energy will flow through one form of power electronics to be suited for end-use. ARPA-E has supported transformational power electronics, motors and thermal management projects through CIRCUITS, CABLES and ASCEND programs. These projects are focused the enablement of more efficient power conversion and electrified transportation of complex systems such as aircraft.
Additional areas of interest are the efficient thermal management of complex electronic systems such as Data Centers through the COOLERCHIPS program. By exploring differential approaches, it can be observed that if low thermal resistance heat rejection can be realized at relevant system cost and reliability, significant energy savings could be realized. The presentation will describe an overview of these programs and highlights of technology developments that are to provide a basis for a more energy efficient future.

Vincent (WooPoung) Kim, Ph.D
Corporate EVP / Head of Advanced Packaging
SAMSUNG-DSRA
Presentation Title: Exciting work toward Advanced Packaging
Abstract: Heterogeneous Integration is highlighted as a key driver for the next era of Moore's law. By partitioning a large die into smaller chaplets and adopting an optimal process for each one, it significantly improves the overall yield and reduces manufacturing cost. Heterogeneous integration can also enhance the performance of chips by filling the gap between Logic performance and Memory bandwidth. With three-dimensional integration, in which one chip sits directly on top of another, signal paths can be reduced to several micrometer lengths, resulting in greatly improved latency. In addition, finer interconnect pitch in 3D integration enables extremely high bandwidth and memory density, resulting in higher performance.
This talk will share Samsung's exciting work toward Advanced Package with a specific focus on Specialized Memory Integration.

Program Director, Thermal Transport Processes (TTP)
National Science Foundation
Presentation Title: Thermal Management of Electronics: Research Supported by the National Science Foundation
Abstract: Thermal management of electronics is an active area of research in the thermal transport community. With increasing packaging density of power electronics, target cooling goals of 1KW/cm2 to 2KW/cm2 and avoidance of localized hot spots are desired. A range of cooling strategies with single-phase cooling, two-phase cooling with boiling (phase change), impingement cooling, and thin film evaporation among others are being explored. Related areas of active research include the role and control of surface morphology to promote phase change and high heat transfer coefficients, reducing the thermal resistance at the chip interface using high conductance thermal interface materials (TIM), and replacing Silicon by materials with higher conductivity and carrier mobility (such as diamond). The body of literature in these and related fields is extensive.
The Thermal Transport Processes (TTP) program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) has been supporting electronics cooling research for several decades. The focus of the research supported by NSF is motivated by the need for transformational scientific discoveries with potential for broad impact in the field. This talk will review the spectrum of research supported by NSF on electronics cooling and will highlight some key achievements. Future program interests and topics in this area will be discussed and ideas sought from the community.
