During the last 30 years, microelectronic devices have been continuously designed and developed with smaller size and yet more functionalities. Today, hundreds of millions of transistors and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor cells can be designed and integrated on a single microchip through 3D packaging and chip stacking technology. A large amount of heat will be generated in a limited space during the operation of microchips. Moreover, there is a high possibility of hot spots due to non-uniform integrated circuit design patterns as some core parts of a microchip work harder than other memory parts. This issue becomes acute as stacked microchips get …

2019 Faculty Bibliography
Implementation of a freely available molecular dynamics (MD) software program in a general chemistry class to assist students in learning the relationship among particle motion, macroscopic properties, and mathematical gas laws is described. In this activity, students acquire skills in data analysis while developing a deeper understanding of the origin of macroscopic physical properties of gases. The activity is easy to implement and does not require significant expertise in computational chemistry on the part of the instructor.
