Chip Thermal & Hotspot Junction-Temperature Simulator

Set a die power, geometry and cooling stack and run it — the simulation executes on the ChipFoundryServices distributed compute pool and solves the self-consistent junction-to-ambient thermal-resistance ladder (with temperature-dependent silicon conductivity), then adds a hotspot-spreading model to find the peak junction temperature, the thermal margin against Tj,max, and whether the part throttles. Power density, not transistor count, now sets the cooling budget. Reduced-order educational model. See also the interconnect RC, CMP planarization, plasma-etch and lithography simulators and the compute-pool status.

Junction-to-ambient stack — band height ∝ thermal resistance, colored by temperature
Lateral junction temperature — hotspot peak vs the Tj,max limit
