Final Letter Report for AEgis Technologies NMSBA Project

Lawles, Sheraline; Middleton, Bobby M.

This letter report signals the end of the NMSBA project to help AEgis Technologies (AEGis) find a way to solve a coupled heat transfer equation for a laser-heated Silicon wafer. Accompanying this letter report is a MATLAB live script that documents the work done to date and provides a first attempt at a solution. The scope of work provided for Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) to document the problem in a general form in this phase of the work, with the goal of applying for additional funding in Calendar Year 2020 to attempt a complete solution. SNL staff analytically solved the differential heat equation and found solutions that reproduce reasonable shapes for heat flux. However, the required information to provide a complete solution is not available.
