Thermal Management Grade CVD
Lab-created diamonds boast a thermal conductivity five times greater than copper, making them ideal heat sinks while simultaneously acting as electrical insulators. This unique combination creates a perfect solution for managing thermal challenges in electronic devices. CVD diamonds offer all the exceptional properties of natural single-crystal diamonds, but with significantly fewer limitations in size and shape. This opens doors for their use in temperature-critical packages.
The ever-increasing demand for smaller devices with higher power output creates significant heat dissipation challenges. High thermal heat flux can severely impact device performance and reliability. URR’s diamonds, with their unmatched thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity, offer a solution. By effectively transferring heat away from critical components, they allow for increased microprocessor frequencies, higher output power within smaller devices, and ultimately, longer lifespans for electronic components.
