Thermal resistance at interfaces
Abstract
We report measurements of the solid-solid thermal boundary resistance Rbd, spanning the temperature range from 1 to 300 K. Below 30 K, Rbd is found to be in agreement with the prediction of the acoustic mismatch model. The influence of diffuse scattering at the interface is found to have a very minor influence on Rbd. Above 30 K, Rbd decreases less rapidly with increasing temperature than predicted by the theory. Phonon scattering in thin (∼30 Å) disordered layers near the interface is shown to be a possible explanation. Implications for heat removal from integrated circuits are discussed.

“He found that the boundary resistance above 50 K was reproducible and small—equivalent to the bulk thermal resistance of an a-SiO₂ layer only 20 Å thick.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
