A classic is Tuckerman's and Pease's work: D. B. Tuckermann, R. F. W. Pease, "High-Performance Heat Sinking for VLSI", IEEE Electron Device Letters, Vol. 2, 1981, pp. 126-129. We have done some research more recently: T. M. Harms, A. Hölke, J. Pilchowski, M. Kazmierczak, F. Gerner, H. T. Henderson, K. Baker, "Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Through Deep Microchannels in a (110) Silicon Substrate", Proceedings of the 1997 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Dallas, TX, November 16-21, 1997 -- Alexander Hölke graduate assistant University of Cincinnati Center for Microelectronic Sensors and MEMS Phone: (513)556-1997 FAX: (513)556-7326
