Range of Diamond Materials Used in Thermal Management Applications

We has developed a range of polycrystalline diamond and synthetic diamond composite materials that can be used in a wide range of thermal management applications.

Synthetic diamond is an ideal material for a range of thermal management applications, and has a thermal conductivity four times higher than copper. In addition, the material is an electric insulator. The build-up of heat can destroy delicate circuitry or severely impair performance in all types of electronic and electrical applications.

One of the first applications of synthetic diamond was as a heat sink for sensitive electronic components used in the telecommunications industry. Since then   has developed a range of polycrystalline diamond and synthetic diamond composite materials that can be used in thermal management applications.

Diamond heat sink is a diamond thermal material that can offer thermal conductivity in excess of 2000W/mK. This novel, top-end grade of CVD diamond material caters for advanced users that work with high power, or high power density devices, and require extreme performance for their thermal packaging needs.For example, diamond heat sinks are widely used for heat dissipation in high-power devices, semiconductor lasers, radars, satellites, etc.

In addition, the combination of diamond and metallization creates a series of low-cost materials with excellent thermal and mechanical properties, making them ideal for thermal management in electronic systems.
