Latest Patents

Ming-Cheng Cheng holds a patent for a "Method for thermal simulation." This invention describes novel methods for efficient and accurate thermal simulation of structures primarily constructed using building blocks. These structures may include semiconductor chips, photovoltaic/solar panels, battery packs, and more. The methods are formulated in hierarchical function spaces rather than physical space, providing three-dimensional (3D) steady-state and transient temperature profiles that are as detailed as full-scale numerical simulations. Remarkably, these methods utilize substantially fewer computational degrees-of-freedom (DOF), comparable to that of lumped thermal models, without requiring ad-hoc modeling assumptions related to geometry, dimensions, temperature profiles, or heat flow paths. The methods can evaluate temperature profiles at different levels of granularity and can be implemented in various computer-aided-design (CAD) or electronic-design-automation (EDA) tools for different technologies to perform electro-thermal simulations.
