FinFETs are able to be scaled down to 22 nm and beyond while suppressing effectively short channel effect, and have superior performance compared to 2-dimensional (2-D) MOSFETs. Bulk FinFETs are built on bulk Si wafers which have less defect density and lower cost than SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) wafers. In contrast to SOI FinFETs, bulk FinFETs have no floating body effect and better heat transfer rate to the substrate while keeping nearly the same scalability. The bulk FinFET has been developed at 14 nm technology node, and applied in mass production of AP and CPU since 2015. In the development of the bulk FinFETs at 10 nm and beyond, self-heating effects (SHE) is becoming important. Accurate control of device geometry and threshold voltage between devices is also important. The random telegraph noise (RTN) would be problematic in scaled FinFET which has narrow fin width and small fin height.

A rectangular fin with a fluid in the inside wall is analyzed and optimized using a two-dimensional analytical method. The influence of the fluid convection characteristic number in the inside wall and the fin base thickness on the fin base temperature is listed. For the fixed fin volumes, the maximum heat loss and the corresponding optimum fin effectiveness and dimensions as a function of the fin base thickness, convection characteristic numbers ratio, convection characteristic number over the fin, fluid convection characteristic number in the inside wall, and the fin volume are represented. One of the results shows that both the optimum heat loss and the corresponding fin effectiveness increase as the fin base thickness decreases.

A cylindrical pin fin with variable fin base thickness is optimized based on fixed outer radius by using the one dimensional analytic method. Heat loss from the pin fin with fixed outer radius is presented as a function of the fin length. The ratio of in length for optimum heat loss to that for the maximum heat loss is listed. The maximum heat loss and effectiveness and the fin length for the optimum heat loss are presented as a function of fin base thickness and outer radius. One of the results presents the maximum effectiveness decreases rapidly first and then decreases slowly as the fin outer radius increases.

Optimization of a rectangular profile annular fin with variable pipe inside radius is presented. This optimum procedure is based on fixed fin height and is made by using variables separation method. The optimum heat loss, corresponding optimum fin length and optimum fin efficiency are presented as a function of pipe inside radius, fin half height, inside fluid convection characteristic number and ambient convection characteristic number. One of results shows that the optimum fin length increases linearly with increase of pipe inside radius for fixed fin height and fin base radius.

Average heat transfer coefficients and friction coefficients have been measured from staggered short pin-fin arrays to investigate the effect of fin shapes. Flow entering into the test section is a fully developed duct flow and the Reynolds number ranges from 5,000 to 25,000 based on fin diameter and average approaching velocity. The fin has three different shapes; uniform-diameter circular fin, two stepped-diameter circular fins. Average heat transfer rates change slightly with the fin shapes. However, friction loss(pressure loss) for the stepped-diameter fins is significantly less than that for the uniform-diameter fin. This results indicate that the stepped-diameter fin arrays in duct flow enhance heat transfer rates largely based on unit pumping power.

The purpose of this paper, was to compare its result with both the settler of inclination plate and the settler of stick fin through the pilot test to know optimized interval of fin. According to intervals of fin, We get most optimized interval of fin in laboratory is inclination plate with $60^{\circ}$ and wide of fin with 50 mm, interval of fin with 150 mm. The result of laboratory showed 67.6~70.6%, 70.4~74.2% for the settler of inclination plate, the settler of inclination plate stick fin. The sedimentation efficiency of the settler of inclination plate stick fin showed 2.8% higher than the sedimentation efficiency of the settler of inclination plate. From now on, Inclination plate settler stick fin requirement in study.

In this study, fin surface temperature and frost properties, i.e., frost thickness and frost surface temperature on a heat exchanger, were experimentally analyzed with different fin thicknesses, fin sizes and thermal conductivities of fin. As a result, it is found that fin thickness and thermal conductivity of fin should be considered in order to design an efficient heat exchanger fin. Correlations of dimensionless average frost properties were proposed as functions of dimensionless air temperature, dimensionless fin base temperature, dimensionless fin thickness, absolute air humidity, Reynolds number and Fourier number. The correlations predicted well the average frost thickness with a maximum error of 10.5% and frost surface temperature with a maximum difference of $0.89^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Comparison between performance of a plate fin and that of a modified plate fin is investigated as a function of the position, the non-dimensional width and height of wings as well as the non-dimensional fin length using a two-dimensional separation of variables method. The ratio of the incremental rate of heat loss to that of the area of a modified plate fin is also presented as a function of the height of wings. The modified plate fin is made by attaching the wings to upper and lower sides of a plate fin. One of the results shows that performance of a modified plate fin is more improved as the wings approach left (higher) thermal reservoir.

In the present paper the effects of combined heat and mass transfer on the fin efficiency were calculated. Sector method was used for calculating the fin efficiency of the continuous fin. The parameter Lewis No. and C which describe the combined heat and mass transfer is derived by using the heat and mass transfer analogy and effects of Lewis No. and C on the fin efficiencies were calculated.

This paper presents the effects of the fin array and pitch on the frost layer growth of a heat exchanger. The numerical results are compared with experimental data of a cold plate to validate the present model, and agree well with experimental data within a maximum error of 8%. The characteristics of the frost formation on staggered fin array are somewhat different from those of in-line array. The frost layer at the first fin of the in-line array grows rapidly, compared to second fin, whereas the difference of the frost layer growth between the fins of the staggered array is small. For fin pitch below 10 mm, the frost layer growth of second fin in the staggered array is affected by that of first fin. The frost layer growth and heat transfer of single fin deteriorate with decreasing fin pitch regardless of fin array, however, the thermal performance of a heat exchanger, considering increase of heat surface area, becomes better.
