EMC Technology now offers CVD diamond heat spreaders designed to meet today’s demanding requirements for higher power and longer life spans by keeping junction temperatures low and stable.
CVD (chemical vapour deposition) is used to produce synthetic diamond that provides up to 8x the thermal conductivity of traditional materials like AlN and BeO.
EMC Technology offers custom designs optimised to meet specific application requirements of size, finish and mounting configuration. Common applications include GaN/GaAs RF power amplifiers, DDL/DPSSL laser diode arrays and high-brightness LEDs.
The heat spreaders are available with standard thermal conductivity up to 1400 W/mK, electrically isolated or conductive Ti/Pt/Au finishes and AuSn patterns to eliminate the need for pre-forms. The metallised heat spreaders can also handle processing temperatures up to 400°C.
