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 />
