Heterogeneous integration is crucial for the multi-functionality of future electronic devices. However, thermal studies of the interfaces in these integrated devices are limited. Recently, surface-activated bonded interfaces were found to have high thermal boundary conductance, providing a solution for heat dissipation in GaN and beta-Ga2O3-based power electronics. This Perspective reviews the recent progress on interfacial thermal transport across heterogeneously integrated interfaces, highlighting applications in thermal management strategies for electronics, particularly power electronics, and identifies the challenges ahead.
Heterogeneous integration is important to create multi-functionality in future electronic devices. However, few thermal studies of the interfaces formed in these integrated devices have been reported before. Recently, integrated interfaces by surface-activated bonding were found to have high thermal boundary conductance, which provides a solution for heat dissipation of GaN and beta-Ga2O3-based power electronics. Here, we review the recent progress on the interfacial thermal transport across heterogeneously integrated interfaces, including transferred van der Waals force bonded interfaces, surface-activated bonded interfaces, plasma bonded interfaces, and hydrophilic bonded interfaces. This Perspective specifically focuses on applications of thermal management strategies of electronics, especially power electronics. Finally, the challenges, such as high-throughput thermal measurements of buried interfaces, thermal property-structure relations of interfaces bonded under different conditions, theoretical understanding of interfacial thermal transport, and device demonstrations, are pointed out.
