Abstract: In thermomechanical data storage, a heated atomic force microscope cantilever tip is in contact with and scans over a polymer film. Heating in the cantilever and cantilever tip induces local ...

Abstract: Over upcoming electronics technology nodes, shrinking feature sizes of on-chip interconnects and correspondingly higher current densities are expected to result in higher temperatures due to ...

Abstract: This work describes the heat transfer process from a heated microcantilever to a substrate. A platinum-resistance thermometer with a 140nm width was fabricated on a SiO2-coated silicon substrate. ...

Abstract: A technique to extract in-plane thermal conductivity of thin metallic films whose thickness is comparable to electron mean free path is described. Microscale constrictions were fabricated into ...
