This paper intends to explain the thermal model of the temperature distribution in semiconductor structures that are being subjected to high-power electromagnetic pulses. Taking into account the dependence of the semiconductor thermal conductivity on the temperature, a partial solution of the thermal flow equation with the second-type boundary conditions was used. Also, the role of the thermal conductivity components is evidently demonstrated as they affect the heat transfer. The calculations clearly indicate that the behavior of the thermal transient depends on the pulse duration. This difference in behavior allows forecasting of the thermal damages in the semiconductor devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
