Thermal Management

CVD diamond heat sinks and spreaders have unmatched thermal performance.The thermal conductivity of optical quality CVD diamond approaches that of natural type IIa diamond, 1800W/mK. Thermal conductivity can be tailored within the range of 1000-1800 W/mK to enable matching cost/performance to the needs of the application.

In cases where the fear of shortened life expectancy limits the ability to increase power, CVD diamond heat sinks and spreaders have unmatched thermal performance. Increasingly, they're used for laser diodes, III-V semiconductors, detector arrays and a wide range of other devices.
