CVD diamond electronic packaging applications

As electronic packages become more compact, run at faster speeds and dissipate more heat, package designers need more effective thermal management materials. One such material that has excellent thermal conductivity is CVD diamond. Designers have already used CVD diamond successfully in the production of heat sinks for laser diodes and laser diode arrays, and in the design of microwave substrates. As the cost of CVD diamond decreases, designers also are beginning to incorporate CVD diamond into their designs for single-chip packages and multichip modules
