A transient thermal analysis applied on hybrid aluminum and carbon nanotubes interconnects using a new finite difference algorithm
摘要
It was seen from the literature that carbon nanotubes present excellent thermal and electrical properties. However, few researchers have treated the metal–carbon nanotubes composite thermal behavior. Thus, this article studies the transient thermal analysis of hybrid copper, carbon nanotubes (Cu-CNTs), and aluminum–carbon nanotubes composite (Al-CNTs). In addition, this study introduces a new finite difference-based method for thermal transient analysis. The accuracy of the proposed method has been checked with PSPICE and COMSOL results and has given a good agreement. The performance of the suggested algorithm was then compared with the Euler method and has demonstrated its superiority in terms of accuracy and time length.
