Transient thermal analysis of multilayered structures using Green's functions

This paper presents an approach to the analysis of transient thermal states in electronic circuits using an analytical solution of the heat equation. Fully three-dimensional analytical time dependent solutions are determined for multilayered structures with the hel pof Green's functions (GFs). The GFs required for the solution are found using a Galerkin-based integral method. The entire solution method is illustrated in detail using a practical example, where the results of transient thermal simulations of a real hybrid power module are compared with infrared measurements.
