Modeling self-heating effects in nanoscale devices
Accurate thermal modeling and the design of microelectronic devices and thin-film structures at the micro- and nanoscales poses a challenge to electrical engineers who are less familiar with the basic concepts and ideas in sub-continuum heat transport. This book aims to bridge that gap. Efficient...
