Question: A simplified representation for cooling in very large - scale integration ( VLSI ) of microelectronics is shown in Figure 1 . A silicon chip

A simplified representation for cooling in very large-scale integration (VLSI) of microelectronics is shown in Figure 1. A silicon chip is mounted in a dielectric substrate, and one surface of the system is convectively cooled, while the remaining surfaces are well insulated from the surroundings. The problem is rendered two-dimensional by assuming the system to be very long in the direction perpendicular to the paper. Under steady-state operation, electric power dissipation in the chip provides for uniform volumetric heating at a rate of . However, the heating rate is limited by restriction on the maximum temperature that the chip is allowed to assume.
b) If the maximum chip (not substrate) temperature is 85C, what is the maximum power density that the chip can dissipate? You can find this out by changing your q value until you find the one that gives the maximum temperature desired.
PLEASE ANSWER PART (B) ONLY. THANK YOU!
