It sounds so convenient to even think about having electronic components in a miniaturized form. In addition to this, increase in the integration density is likely to help surge heat flows and this is anticipated to trigger the issue of overheating. However, the major issue is that the measuring of such nanometric events using conventional methods, such as infrared thermography, is difficult as values below micrometer cannot be measured. Recently, a research team from the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems and the Coordination Chemistry Laboratory has found a way to measure temperature at nano values using the bistability properties of chemical compounds of a family called spin-crossover (SCO) molecules.
The spin-crossover (SCO) molecules are compounds found to exist in two electronic states with multiple physical properties. This compound is also found to have the ability to change from one electronic state to another when absorbing or losing energy. As per the researchers, the deposition of this compound in the form of a film on any electronic component will help optical properties of the SCO molecules change depending on the temperature and thereby permitting the chemical thermometer to trace a nanometric-scale thermal map of the surface of microelectronic circuits. But, these molecules are known for their unique property of remaining stable even after 10 million thermal cycles under atmospheric air and high temperatures.
On the contrary, the new innovation is likely to help the molecule overcome its usual property such as fatigability or alterations after multiple transitions from one electronic state to another. Researchers believe that this new film will soon set its foot in the microelectronics industry to analyze local thermal processes and also to improve the design of future maneuvers.
