  • COUPLING A THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE PLATE TO A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE FOR ELECTRON BEAM ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20240103073
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, systems, and/or techniques for an enclosure, which may be referred to as a cartridge, that surrounds a semiconductor device prior to the semiconductor device being bombarded with an electron beam during operational testing. In embodiments, the enclosure may include a cooling plate that includes a thermal cooling mechanism that is thermally coupled with the semiconductor device to control the temperature of the semiconductor device during testing. The thermal cooling mechanism may include a manifold that extends through the plate through which a cooled fluid, cooled air, or some other cool material may be circulated to cool the semiconductor device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Creating a jet impingement pattern for a thermal control system
    Patent number: 7639030
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a head assembly to be adapted about a solid immersion lens includes a plurality of jets configured in a radial pattern that extends from a central portion to a substantial periphery of the head assembly. The jets may expel a liquid coolant stream to cool a semiconductor device with a radial impingement pattern so that the liquid coolant travels from a central portion of the semiconductor surface to a peripheral portion of the semiconductor surface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
