Product Information

DENKA ALSINK (Al-Diamond MMC type)

Product Information

Outline

"DENKA ALSINK(Al-Diamond MMC type)" is composites consisting of aluminum and diamond, and is very good material with low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity (>500W/m K), high strength and light weight. Great attention is being paid to this products for heat sink member of GaN semiconductor chip.

Characteristics

  • Lightweight: 1/3 weight of the copper base board
  • 500W/m K : Copper base plate par or more high thermal conductivity.
  • Ideal for heat dissipation of GaN semiconductor.
  • The best Alternative of copper-alloy material(Cu/W, Cu/Mo etc), it is expected even higher performance.

Uses

Medical device, heat dissipation element of high frequency device for communication satellite
