We present experimental measurements of the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) from $77 - 500$ K across isolated heteroepitaxially grown ZnO films on GaN substrates. These data provide an assessment of the assumptions that drive the phonon gas model-based diffuse mismatch models (DMM) and atomistic Greens function (AGF) formalisms for predicting TBC. Our measurements, when compared to previous experimental data, suggest that the TBC can be influenced by long wavelength, zone center modes in a material on one side of the interface as opposed to the vibrational mismatch concept assumed in the DMM; this disagreement is pronounced at high temperatures. At room temperature, we measure the ZnO/GaN TBC as $490lbrack +150, -110rbrack$ MW m$^{-2}$ K$^{-1}$. The disagreement among the DMM and AGF and the experimental data these elevated temperatures suggests a non-negligible contribution from additional modes contributing to TBC that not accounted for in the fundamental assumptions of these harmonic formalisms, such as inelastic scattering. Given the high quality of these ZnO/GaN interface, these results provide an invaluable critical and quantitive assessment of the accuracy of assumptions in the current state of the art of computational approaches for predicting the phonon TBC across interfaces.

GaN-based HEMTs have the potential to be widely used in high-power and high-frequency electronics while their maximum output powers are limited by high channel temperature induced by near-junction Joule-heating, which degrades device performance and
reliability. Increasing the TBC between GaN and SiC will aid in the heat dissipation of GaN-on-SiC power devices, taking advantage of the high thermal conductivity of the SiC substrate. However, a good understanding of the TBC of this technically important interface is still lacking due to the complicated nature of interfacial heat transport. In this work, a lattice-mismatch-insensitive surface activated bonding method is used to bond GaN directly to SiC and thus eliminating the AlN layer altogether. This allows for the direct integration of high quality GaN layers with SiC to create a high thermal boundary conductance interface. TDTR is used to measure the thermal properties of the GaN thermal conductivity and GaN-SiC TBC. The measured GaN thermal conductivity is larger than that of GaN grown by MBE on SiC, showing the impact of reducing the dislocations in the GaN near the interface. High GaN-SiC TBC is observed for the bonded GaN-SiC interfaces, especially for the annealed interface whose TBC (230 MW/m2-K) is close to the highest values ever reported. To understand the structure-thermal property relation, STEM and EELS are used to characterize the interface structure. The results show that, for the as-bonded sample, there exists an amorphous layer near the interface for the as bonded samples. This amorphous layer is crystallized upon annealing, leading to the high TBC found in our work. Our work paves the way for thermal transport across bonded interfaces, which will impact real-world applications of semiconductor integration and packaging.
The wide bandgap, high-breakdown electric field, and high carrier mobility makes GaN an ideal material for high-power and high-frequency electronics applications such as wireless communication and radar systems. However, the performance and reliabili
ty of GaN-based HEMTs are limited by the high channel temperature induced by Joule-heating in the device channel. High thermal conductivity substrates integrated with GaN can improve the extraction of heat from GaN based HEMTs and lower the device operating temperature. However, heterogeneous integration of GaN with diamond substrates is not trivial and presents technical challenges to maximize the heat dissipation potential brought by the diamond substrate. In this work, two modified room temperature surface activated bonding techniques are used to bond GaN and single crystal diamond with different interlayer thicknesses. TDTR is used to measure the thermal properties from room temperature to 480 K. A relatively large TBC of the GaN-diamond interfaces with a 4nm interlayer was observed and material characterization was performed to link the structure of the interface to the TBC. Device modeling shows that the measured GaN-diamond TBC values obtained from bonding can enable high power GaN devices by taking the full advantage of the high thermal conductivity of single crystal diamond and achieve excellent cooling effect. Furthermore, the room-temperature bonding process in this work do not induce stress problem due to different coefficient of thermal expansion in other high temperature integration processes in previous studies. Our work sheds light on the potential for room-temperature heterogeneous integration of semiconductors with diamond for applications of electronics cooling especially for GaN-on-diamond devices.
A temperature-dependent approach involving Green-Kubo equilibrium atomic and spin dynamics (GKEASD) is reported to assess phonon and magnon thermal transport processes accounting for phonon-magnon interactions. Using body-center cubic (BCC) iron as a
case study, GKEASD successfully reproduces its characteristic temperature-dependent spiral and lattice thermal conductivities. The non-electronic thermal conductivity, i.e., the sum of phonon and magnon thermal conductivities, calculated using GKEASD for BCC Fe agrees well with experimental measurements. Spectral energy analysis reveals that high-frequency phonon-magnon scattering rates are one order of magnitude larger than those at low frequencies due to energy scattering conservation rules and high densities of states. Higher temperatures further accentuate this phenomenon. This new framework fills existing gaps in simulating thermal transport across the ferro- to para-magnetic transition. Future application of this methodology to phonon- and magnon-dominant insulators and semiconductors will enhance understanding of emerging thermoelectric, spin caloritronic and superconducting materials.
We use the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) to measure the local temperature and heat flow dynamics in ferromagnetic SrRuO3 thin films. After heating by a pump pulse, the film temperature decays exponentially, indicating that the he
at flow out of the film is limited by the film/substrate interface. We show that this behavior is consistent with an effective boundary resistance resulting from disequilibrium between the spin and phonon temperatures in the film.
The existed theories and methods for calculating interfacial thermal conductance of solid-solid interface lead to diverse values that deviate from experimental measurements. In this letter, We propose a model to estimate the ITC at high temperature w
ithout comprehensive calculations, where the interface between two dissimilar solids can be treated as an amorphous thin layer and the coordination number density across interface becomes a key parameter. Our model predicts that the ITCs of various interfaces at 300K are in a narrow range: 10$^{7}$W m$^{-2}$K$^{-1}$ $sim $10$^{9}$ W m$^{-2}$ K$^{-1}$, which is in good agreement with the experimental measurement.
