Thermal-aware techniques for 3D ICs have shown that high temperatures dramatically reduce the lifetime and the reliability of the 3D ICs with utilizing the third dimension. Hence, thermal management has been very crucial for the further improvement of the 3D IC architecture. There has been some thermal management strategies suggested at the micro/nano scale to alleviate the nonlocal heat dissipation; however, many solution methods such as liquid cooling have challenges and create many problems. In this paper, we propose nanoparticle based interfacial cooling to improve the thermal transport due to surface phonon polariton coupling and to reduce the thermal resistance between the interfaces. We demonstrate the efficiency of the heat dissipation from the proposed structure for 3D ICs.

AbstractThe machine theatre in France achieves its peak in the second half of the seventeenth century. It is the construction of machines that permits the adequate representation of the third dimension on stage. This optical illusion is created by flying characters, as heroes, gods, or demons moving horizontally and vertically. The enumeration indicates that only characters possessing either ethically exemplary character traits or incorporating sin are allowed to fly. Therefore, the third dimension indicates bienséance – or its opposite. According to this, the following thesis is deduced: The machine theatre illustrates via aesthetic concerns characterising its third dimension an ethic foundation. Ethic and aesthetics determine each other in the context of both, decorum and in theatre practice. In order to prove this thesis three steps are taken. First of all, the machine theatre’s relationship to imitation and creation is explored. Second, the stage design, representing the aesthetic benefits of the machines in service of the third dimension, are explained. Finally, the concrete example of Pierre Corneille’s Andromède is analysed by pointing out the role of Pegasus and Perseus.
