addition to more scientific studies, traditional tools such as<br />

finite element analysis for mechanical structures are<br />

incorporated for design of demonstrator devices and failure<br />

analysis.<br />

F. Demonstrators<br />

With better cooling as developed in the NANOPACK<br />

project, electronic components can be packed more densely<br />

and be operated at higher power levels. This strongly<br />

increases the energy efficiency of the systems by reducing<br />

the need for chiller systems and limiting the waste of<br />

materials associated with lower density systems. The<br />

objective of this work is to exploit the newly enabled<br />

technologies by demonstrating several devices owning<br />

unprecedented thermal and electrical capabilities, in the<br />

fields of microprocessors, automotive and aerospace high<br />

power electronics and high power radio-frequency switches.<br />
