Abstract

Imaging trying to make temprature measurements in a spatial region equal to the edge of a printer paper or within the diameter of a strand of hair. The accurate computer modeling of the machining process requires measurements of the thermodynamic temperatures of the tool-chip interface with spatial resolution of few micro}m and time resolution ranging from steady-state measurements fo continuous processes to fast (micro}s) measurements of chaotic or random processes. Similar requirements exist in optimization of micro-heater arrays in combinatorial chemistry and in the diagnostics of heat-related failures in integrated circuit devices. The impact of successful micro-scale thermodynamic temperature measurements in these applications could be wide-ranging with new applications found for the micro-heater plates to substantial savings in manufacturing costs resulting from accurate models of the tool-chip interface.
