Abstract

performance that can be achieved by utilizing a diamond heat - sink design which minimizes junction - to - case thermal resistance. Effects of the thermal conductivity of the substrate material, the thermal conductivity of the die attach material, the substrate thickness, and the die attach thickness onl Ihe thermal resistance are addressed. The results indicate that the temperature increase could be 3 to 4 times less with diamond heat-sinks when compared to other materials.
