Pyrolytic Graphite Heat Spreader Options for High Performance Embedded Components and Systems

From MINTEQ® International Inc, Pyrogenics Group
 

 
Thermal management design engineer ideals: materials that optimize new, state of the art cooling and tight packaging needs meeting functionality and commonality requirements; flexible package solution that can be used for different applications; isotropic spreader material with thermal conductivity greater than copper and minimum material conductivity of 1000 W/mK; high in plane (x-y) for efficient spreader thermal conductivity; high through plane (z) thermal conductivity for heat flux "hot"spots; yielding maximum thermal performance for power intensive applications; low, tailorable coefficients of thermal expansion; low density, low weight to minimize shock loads; economical cost, near net shape, high volume capable manufacturing; and high structural strength and stiffness. Thermal challenges are driving a serious review of graphite spreader material, but not all graphites are the same. Issues: thermal conduction values that are affected by imperfections; limited thickness to 1.5 mm; and physical strength limitations. PYROID® HTPyrolytic Graphite approaches theoretical carbon density.
