of 75 o C for fair comparison. Only a laser diode is operated by<br />
probe B with 8mA input current and 2V bias voltage. The<br />
measured thermal distributions verified the validation of the<br />
simulation and model prediction shown in Fig. 5 and 6. Fig. 8<br />
shows the comparison between the measurement, equivalent<br />
ETCM, and CoventorWare simulation results with and<br />
without air and SiOB, respectively. Excellent temperature<br />
matching within ±2°C indicates the validation and prediction<br />
of the equivalent ETCM and the practicality of the simplified<br />
structure in which we can have 90% CPU operation time<br />
saving due to 80% mesh number reduction. Besides, the<br />
slight temperature mismatch could be caused by the thermal<br />
impedance mismatch between the interfaces and the phonon<br />
vibration in high temperature.<br />

V. CONCLUSION<br />
The paper physically and conceptually presents a general<br />
electrothermal network π-model in system level. A associated<br />
equivalent electrothermal circuit model can be readily used<br />
for device optimization and CAD programming in terms of<br />
the demanding geometrical structure and characteristics of<br />
materials. The equivalent ETCM can also open a way for<br />
structure simplification and system optimization with high<br />
accuracy and achieve the goal of CPU time-saving in FEA<br />
simulation without complex and contrived mesh studying or<br />
scaling. Furthermore, the equivalent ETCM can predict the<br />
hottest point in the system to avoid the device failure or<br />
break-down.<br />
