1. Introduction 

In a system environment, the processor's temperature is a function of both the system and component 
thermal characteristics. The system level thermal constraints consist of the local-ambient temperature at 
the processor and the airflow over the processor, as well as the physical constraints at and above the 
processor. The processor’s temperature depends on the component power dissipation, size and material 
(effective thermal conductivity) of the integrated heat spreader, and the presence of a thermal cooling 
solution. 

All of these parameters are aggravated by the continued push of technology to increase performance 
levels (higher operating speeds, GHz) and packaging size and density (more transistors). As operating 
frequencies increase and packaging size decreases, the power density increases and the thermal cooling 
solution space and airflow become more constrained. The result is an increased importance on system 
design to ensure that thermal design requirements are met for each component in the system.
