Abstract
The miniaturization of electronics is urgently demanding packaging materials with superior thermal conductivity. As a promising candidate, diamond particles dispersed copper matrix (diamond/Cu) composites are attracting more and more interests. Because of large contact angel between diamond and Cu, poor interfacial bonding becomes a main obstacle to obtaining high thermal conductivity in the diamond/Cu composites. Here we add a strong carbide-forming element of Ti to Cu matrix with an attempt to connect diamond reinforcements with metal matrix tightly, and apply a novel process of gas pressure infiltration to consolidate the composites. We demonstrate the enhancement of thermal conductivity by such Ti addition. A high thermal conductivity of 752 W/mK is obtained in the diamond/Cu-Ti composites.
