I want to calculate how much would be the difference in temperatures between top and bottom surface of a 750um thick SiN. I am using the formula
Q=KA dT/t
then dT=Q/mc (to find the difference in temperatures)
Is this the right way to do it or I have to take into account other factors also. I am asking this because the answer I get does not looks good. Thank you.
Hi,
Thank you very much for your answer,
One question, the power(1W) that I put on the top of SiN is not different than how will it be transferred into the SiN? I think I would need to find first the rate of heat flow within SiN and then I can find the dT, what's your take on that.
I say it does not look good because I get huge difference in temperatures at both ends of SiN.
One more point I think I missed is the area of Laser spot that is given to heat the substrate. I think assuming that whole substrate is uniformly heated is not correct, it is only a particular area that is responsible for this heat flow within the SiN, and then there comes a lateral heat flow which cannot be ignored also and I have no idea, how can I put this lateral heat flow into equation.
I thank you again for your answer.
