Abstract
This paper introduces an algorithm that focuses on the placement of the power dissipating chips for multichip module applications. The main design issue is addressed on the chip placement to achieve uniform thermal distribution. Our approach to the placement problem is based on the modified force-directed placement method. The proposed thermal force-directed placement method is to relate the force equations to the power dissipation values of the individual bare chip. Examples of multichip placement are presented. The finite element simulation results are also investigated and compared with quadrisection placement methods. [S1043-7398(00)01002-1]
