Advanced Packaging Applications

Single-crystal diamond thermal materials for applications where junction temperature determines performance, reliability, and lifetime.

The Challenge

Advanced packaging has outpaced conventional thermal management

2.5D interposers, 3D die stacks, and chiplet architectures have packed more power into less space than the packages they replaced. That density gain has a cost: heat now has less distance to travel before it becomes the limiting factor in a design.

As junction temperatures rise, so do failure rates, derating margins, and long-term reliability risk. This is a materials constraint, and it requires a materials-level solution.

The Solution

When single-crystal diamond is the right choice

Single-crystal diamond is the right choice when the cost of thermal failure outweighs the material premium.

  • Derated performance
  • Shortened lifetime
  • Decreasing Field returns

Recent advances in wafer-scale single-crystal production are also expanding where it makes economic sense.

Applications

Technologies

Next-Gen GPU Cooling in High-Perfomance Computing

Ultra-fast heat spreading lowers junction temperatures dramatically, allowing chipmakers to push 3 to 5 times more power into the GPU without thermal runaway.

Industrial High-Power Laser Windows

Single-crystal diamond offers broadband optical transparency (UV to Infrared) and unparalleled thermal conductivity. The lack of grain boundaries, provides ultra-low optical scatter and high damage thresholds, making it the ideal material for exit windows and lenses in kilowatt-level laser systems.

High-reliability power electronics

Systems where junction temperature is directly tied to warranty and field-reliability requirements.
