Ultra-Thin Silicon-Integrated Diamond Film is a wafer-level thermal management material developed for advanced semiconductor devices requiring extreme heat dissipation performance. It is fabricated by directly depositing polycrystalline diamond onto silicon wafers using Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) technology.
With a controlled diamond layer thickness below 1 μm, this material enables near-junction thermal spreading, effectively reducing hotspot concentration and improving overall device thermal stability.
Unlike conventional thermal interface materials that are applied at the package level, this diamond film is integrated directly onto the silicon wafer, allowing heat to be managed at the source before it propagates through the device structure.
This makes it highly suitable for RF devices, power electronics, silicon photonics, and advanced semiconductor packaging architectures.
