  2.CPC£¨Cu-Mo70Cu-Cu£©heat sinks
2.1 Features
CPC(Cu-Mo70Cu-Cu) is a sandwich composite like Cu/Mo/Cu including a Mo70Cu alloy core layer and two copper clad layers. The ratio of the thickness in Cu: Mo-Cu: Cu is 1:4:1. It has different CTE in X and Y direction, higher thermal conductivity than that of WCu, MoCu, Cu/Mo/Cu and it is cheaper than them. All types of CPC sheets can be stamped into components.
Large sized sheets available (length up to 400mm, width up to 200mm)
More easily to be stamped into components than CMC
Very strong interface bonding which can repeatedly resist 850¡æ
Higher thermal conductivity and lower cost
No magnetic

  3. MoCu Sintered Alloys
3.1 Features
MoCu alloys are made from Mo and Cu by sintered. MoCu sheet is much lighter than W-Cu, so it is more suitable for aeronautic and astronautic applications. MoCu has the features as follows:
High thermal conductivity
Tailorable CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) matching semiconductor and ceramic materials
Relatively low density
MoCu sheet can be stamped when Mo less than 70%
Nickel and Gold plated parts available
No magnetic

  5. Applications
5.1 CMC, CPC & MoCu Applications
Microwave Carriers, Hermetic Package Bases and Housings, Ceramic Substrate Carriers, GaAs and Silicon Device Mounts, Laser Diode Mounts, Optical Packages, Power Packages, Core Layer of High-performance PCBs and BGA Packages etc. Cu-Mo-Cu is especially used in LED packages and modules for heat sinks. Cu-Mo-Cu in big dimension is being developed for laser components used for rear projection TV.  Because Cu-Mo-Cu has high thermal conductivity as well as low CTE, it can be used instead of Copper, Aluminum and Silicon.

5.2 WCu Applications
Heat Sinks and Spreaders, Microwave Carriers, Hermetic Package Bases and Housings, Ceramic Substrate Carriers, GaAs and Silicon Device Mounts, Laser Diode Mounts.
By controlling the content of tungsten, we can design its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matching that of the materials as follows:
Semiconductors: Si, GaAs, SiGe, SiC, InGaP, InGaAs, InAlGaAs, AlGaInP and AlGaAs
Ceramics: Al2O3, BeO, AlN and so on.
Metals: Kovar, FeNi42 and so on.
